Pretty things.
They are so pretty.
Drums. Drums. They are coming.
It's all about the beat.
Bye-bye Elvis
I'm happy. I'm feeling glad.
It's tables all the way down
The Art Of Computer Programming Volume 3. Kind of. Again. This time with hash.
LINQ? yes, really
LINQ? I think I've seen that one — but that was a year ago.
Kibble
So meta. Much wow.

It's an anniversary. Why don't I feel like celebrating?
Spaghetti of choice
Never send bot to think about mans job.
From macro hell
I have macros and I'm not afraid to use them.
Verbose much?
Much code. Very explain. Wow.
RIP blind mouse
It was a fun little experiment while it lasted.
Its like dejavu all over again
I feel like I've done this before. It brings back memories.
Do you even sort?
The Art Of Computer Programming Volume 3. Kind of.
Are we there yet?
Yes and No.
Internal tools
Why internal tools?
The three horsemen
The lint apocalypse is coming and you are not prepared.
running-it-live
I like live coding. Here, I said it.

You say You are AI friendly. But how friendly are You?

Sometimes technical debt gets paid off.
quality-of-life
Sometimes little things make big difference.
Templates? Templates?? Type macros!
This is going to be a good one. It's an iceberg.
LINQ?
LINQ? But Boris, DASLANG already has high-order functions.
How to EDSL
There are ways to ~~die~~ EDSL, and there are ways to ~~die~~ EDSL.
options gen2
Its very easy to ignore reality. Ignoring effects of ignoring reality - now that's tricky.
Zero point five
Construction can't be finished, only stopped. 0.5 is out.
Of pipes and blocks
Das is not a write-only code. The idea is we read more than we write. There is "write as you speak", but there is also "read as you listen".
Data initialization in DAS

Garbage collection in the wild
What do a mafia boss and a garbage-collector have in common? Both make sure you'll never see unwanted things again!
Daslang it is
The plug has been pulled. Daslang it is. Take a look at dasCHash too ( C#->DAS ).
0.4 and THE PLAN
0.4 is out. Its a big deal. Its not a big deal.
Hectic
Hectic is exactly the word which comes to mind, when I look at the commit history for the month.
A matter of multiplication
Its a matter of multiplication, really. Productivity factors do not just add up (thats why they are called factors).
Wake up and test the damn thing
It has to be stable. The time has come to test the damn thing.
Pattern matching
In the world of computer programming, there is a concept known as pattern matching. This technique allows us to take a complex value, such as an array or a variant, and compare it to a set of patterns. If the value fits a certain pattern, the matching process continues and we can extract specific values from that value. This is a powerful tool for making our code more readable and efficient, and…
For loop noise
It's stupid. It's ugly. Its also measurable performance gain.
Performance and CMRES aliasing
From daslang.io "... is high-level, statically strong typed scripting language, designed to be fast ..." With an emphasis on fast. Performance first, last, and foremost.
It's not a script
Whats in a name? The sheer fact that I'm writing this post implies a problem. "It's not a script" is something we had to say on numerous occasions. - `Boris ELI5 script?` - Script is a simple programming langue you write your game logic in. When it gets slow you rewrite it to C++. daScript is none of the above.
Implementing instruments
During the last few days I took a small detour from the land of the JIT, to the land of the profiler.
There is something about JIT
In the early days of daScript development having robust JIT was never a priority. In fact during the initial planning meetings JIT was postponed until the cows came home.
Better safe
[Herb Sutter is right](https://youtu.be/ELeZAKCN4tY?t=2391). Its the same thing year after year after year. `Lifetime`, `Initialization`, `Type safety`, and `Bounds safety` are the things which your language should do for you.
Lock and load
Consider the following example: ```python [export] def main var a push(13) // kaboom ``` It causes daScript runtime panic.
