In academic software (my own included), software engineering principles vaporize as deadlines loom, and code becomes overrun with debugging hooks, perl golf, hard-coded configuration variables, dirty hacks, commentless tracts, a Gordian build system, and of course, no documentation. It's not the kind of code one is ...

Written on Oct 25 2024, by @tgfrerer. Sometimes, all you want is to quickly print some text into a Renderpass. But traditionally, drawing text requires you first to render all possible glyphs of a font into an atlas, to bind this atlas as a texture, and then to render glyphs one by one by drawing triangles on screen...

Purity is Great for Collaboration

When people talk about the benefits of purity in functional programming, the benefits that are often mentioned are equational reasoning (if the language is lazy), ease of testing, memoization and ease of parallelization. To me, these are all great benefits, but might not be enough to convince a skeptic. What I often...
