  1. Wow, my blog was #20 in 2021! Downhill since :)
  2. Aren't there many programming languages not built for humans? They're built for compilers.
  3. Thanks to the positive encourage here and in my email, I've decided to go the self-publishing route. I setup a pre-order page and will release each chapter as I go. :)

    Happy New Years, HN.

  4. You are reading a lot of things that I didn't say.

    The publisher didn't do anything "wrong". It was their suggestion to freeze it instead of cancel immediately. I didn't intend on giving up on the book even then. I didn't return the advance because I never received the advance.

  5. I’ll plug my series of project ideas that have also been discussed here on HN over the years: Challenging programming projects every programmer should try

  6. The jam was originally going to be just me doing a solo project but it grew much larger! Over 200 people joined the Discord.

    We plan on running it again: https://langjamgamejam.com/

  7. I’m the Academic Compiler Archaeologist. This is hilarious!
