It hasn&#39;t yet seized the space occupied by even Rust or Go, much less C, but it has been adopted by a few major projects and countless smaller ones. As such, it&#39;s becoming an important language for the future. having been interested in Zig for several years, I decided to check back in on the language and see how I feel about it today.&#34;<br/><br/>#zig #programming 2026-06-10T21:35:10Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsf2fqdf427w9cmlqpgdapu0972m2xg00uyl58h7dnxnmdq56tlgqqzyp4x4dfmygfvxaak0krmxtk8f4wgdeuch9p9wnxjs45gexg8aysekzn3d5n Working on a little tool for fetching pages on the smolnet <a href="https://codeberg.org/liberty/snurl/">https://codeberg.org/liberty/snurl/</a><br/><br/>It currently supports Gopher, Spartan, and Finger, with Gemini in the works.<br/><br/>#geminiprotocol #smolnet #gopher 2026-06-09T23:37:40Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9y7djmuesxwu6uf89xqv47xu0lww7t5mrv2v4z8hxr5pur7nx0gszyp4x4dfmygfvxaak0krmxtk8f4wgdeuch9p9wnxjs45gexg8aysekdv36ka My take on LLMs in programming: <a href="https://gracefulliberty.com/articles/pragmatic-llms/">https://gracefulliberty.com/articles/pragmatic-llms/</a><br/><br/>&#34;I don&#39;t vibecode. I don&#39;t use LLMs willingly. Every line of code I write is my own or generated deterministically through a process I fully understand. Considering the world is divided over LLMs these days, I wanted to share my particular perspective on why I chose the path I have, as well as some of the places I do think LLMs are appropriate.&#34;<br/><br/>#programming #llms #vibecoding 2026-06-09T03:05:16Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2lgvvlfs8mhfzv4kha88hz63h83a5yjxss8m6fkcztd2nlcl907czyp4x4dfmygfvxaak0krmxtk8f4wgdeuch9p9wnxjs45gexg8aysekjy57h9 Published some of the code that I&#39;m eventually going to turn into physics simulations on my website (once I figure out Hoot).

Scripting languages like Python and visual environments like Scratch are far more popular options. But when I got the opportunity to introduce middle and high school students to programming, I chose the stack-oriented concatenative language from 1970.&#34;<br/><br/>#programming 2026-04-15T04:16:44Z
