  • styx

  • Since several years I work on a hobby programming language called Styx. The compiler was initially written in D. D sources were translated at the end of 2021 and finally Styx sources replaced the D ones on the 24 of January 2022, when Styx became "self-hosted".

  • kcov

    Code coverage tool for compiled programs, Python and Bash which uses debugging information to collect and report data without special compilation options

  • Logically after the 24 of January the rate felt very low, but not to zero. Styx backend supports emiting of DWARF debug informations and they can be used by tools to produce coverage reports. In particular I used kcov, which produces nice html output but also cobertura-style reports that are compatible with CodeCov.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
