LightScript: JavaScript, with cleaned-up syntax and a few conveniences
Developers care about syntax for a reason. Not only is concise syntax faster to read and faster to write, all syntax guides how you write code – for better and for worse. If "the right way" is verbose or awkward, developers too often choose the wrong way.
Introducing Agentic Editing in Zed
Maggie Appleton on Twitter / X
I've always wanted my own WYSIWYG editor for my website, and now I have one! Works locally, saves changes to MDX.But the better part is building semantic writing tools on top. Colour-coded sentence classification, flagging cliches, repetition, and claims that need citations pic.twitter.com/lvOMTZ4DUB— Maggie Appleton (@Mappletons) September 28, 2026

I/O systems for level scripting – joe wintergreen internet zone
This week I built a Source Engine style input/output (I/O) system for level scripting in Sleight of Hand, and if you don’t know what that is or means, you have that in common with most game developers. It’s an astonishingly useful thing to have on any game with level scripting (it’s how Valve’s games do it all the way from Half-Life to Half-Life Alyx). It’s empowering to level designers, and the time and work it stands to save you is unquantifiable but immense. It’s also simple and easy! I’m gonna jot down here how mine (in Unreal) works, but also make a case for the feature in the first place, because like all the most impactful good ideas, most people don’t see the point right away. Alas, I fear I will have to use headings.

Systems Programming with Zig
Zig delivers performance, reliability, and complex integration in systems programming in a simple, modern package. Zig hits the sweet spot for systems programming. This new programming language is high-performance, low-level, ultra-reliable, and perfectly suited for serious projects like writing libraries, daemons and shell utilities, and even operating systems and embedded code. Systems Programming with Zig shows you how to write quality, useful Zig applications without relying on libraries or frameworks-even if you’re new systems programming. In Systems Programming with Zig you’ll learn how to: Understand the Zig perspective on systems programming Write idiomatic Zig code Integrate Zig with C, systems libraries, and scripting languages Networking, interpreters, and graphics from the ground up Unlike UI-centric applications that form the public face of your software, systems programs like OS kernels, device drivers, and utilities interact directly with the hardware or operating system. In these low-level programs, performance and safety are paramount. Zig is a new programming language that builds on the legacy of C, C++, and even Rust to provide a high-productivity systems programming environment that does not rely on awkward libraries and frameworks.
Jupyter Notebooks – a publishing format for reproducible computational workflows
It is increasingly necessary for researchers in all fields to write computer code, and in order to reproduce research results, it is important that this code is published. We present Jupyter notebooks, a document format for publishing code, results and explanations in a form that is both readable and executable. We discuss various tools and use cases for notebook documents.
