Its Time for a New Programming Language

Today, when compared to any other point in programming history, we find ourselves spoiled for choice when it comes to programming…

Why is WebAssembly a second-class language on the web? – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog

This post is an expanded version of a presentation I gave at the recent WebAssembly CG meeting in Munich. WebAssembly has come a long way since its first release in 2017.

If you ever come back to it and you're open to new alternatives, let me shamelessly plug spade-lang.org by @thezoq2.bsky.social and friends. In quite literal terms, it is the Rust of digital HW design :)

So Måløy posted about the hole on July 28th.» Copilot prompt injection goes viral in your documents https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/08/03/copilot-prompt-injection-goes-viral-in-your-documents/

ZigCool

I can’t think of any other language in my 45 years long career that surprised more than Zig. I can easily say that Zig is not only a new programming language, but it’s a totally new way to write programs, in my opinion. To say it’s merely a language to replace C or C++, it’s a huge understatement.
