Project mention: Ask HN: Who is developing a programming language that compiles to C? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-09https://github.com/dbohdan/compilers-targeting-c
I'm long time fan of programming languages that compiles to C hoping that one day will fall in love with one endlessly! :-)
Project mention: Show HN: TinyWasm – A tiny WebAssembly Runtime written in Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-07Super nice project! I also spent the last month writing a WASM interpreter ( https://github.com/rrampage/wart ) using Java 21. I started it as an excuse to try out the pattern matching in switch / sealed classes in Java. It kind of snowballed in scope and can now run Doom and Waforth ( https://github.com/remko/waforth )! Have not yet tried compiling it to WASM and running it as a meta-circular interpreter.
Project mention: Print(“lol”) doubled the speed of my Go function | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-23Most languages target C or LLVM, and C and LLVM have a fundamentally lossy compilation processes.
To get around this, you'd need a hodge podge of pre compiler directives, or take a completely different approach.
I found a cool project that uses a "Tower of IRs" that can restablish source to binary provenance, which, seems to me, to be on the right track:
https://github.com/trailofbits/vast
I'd definitely like to see the compilation processes be more transparent and easy to work with.
Project mention: Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-07https://github.com/decompme/decomp.me
I’ve posted this before but I love it so much I gotta do it again.
You plug in a piece of ASM from a video game ROM, and it gives you a first pass decompilation. On the left hand side you can edit this decompilation, and on the right there’s a side-by-side diff of the target ASM and what your source currently compiles to. It’s slightly gamified, looks great, is super easy to fork/share, and can be pretty addicting once you get into it. Super cool community.
Project mention: What does it look like using a quantum computer? | /r/QuantumComputing | 2023-04-26First step is you might implement your quantum circuit in (Just for example) a Python Jupyter notebook using some SDK like TKET https://github.com/CQCL/pytket
Project mention: Decoding C/C++ Compilation Process: From Source Code to Binary | /r/cpp | 2023-06-08It could be cool to see some explanation of CFG representations or GIMPLE/LLVM here. GCC/Clang can print those out as text, or just compile to that code and not go lower if you ask them to. There are some interesting things you can do with bytecode, like Rellic, AFL++, or optview2. It seems a bit reductive imo to go straight from high-level code to disassembly without at all examining any layers in between. Especially if we use something like Polygeist or CIR.
Hi all! We are working on an eBPF backend for Elixir. It's called Honey Potion. The project is under development, but it is possible to write some useful programs at this point. For instance, in this video, one of the guys involved explains how to write a program to count system calls.
I'm not sure about clang or gcc. For VS, u/GabrielDosReis might be able to speak to the .ifc IPR stability/volatility. My wager (deferring to him to correct me) is that the IPR is still changing over time but will stabilize more over time.
NOTE:
The open source projects on this list are ordered by number of github stars.
The number of mentions indicates repo mentiontions in the last 12 Months or
