Spinning with Swift
Posted on July 15, 2022, Level intermediate Resource Length long
Swift is a great language for creating Spin applications. This tutorial walks through the process of installing SwiftWasm, building a simple Wagi app, and then running it in Spin. Spin is a framework for building and running event-driven microservice applications with WebAssembly (Wasm) components. With Spin, we're trying to make it easier to get started with using WebAssembly on the server so that we can all take advantage of the security, portability, and speed WebAssembly provides when it comes to running microservices. By Matt Butcher.

Interview: Haskell in production @Channable
Posted on July 11, 2022, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
Interview with Fabian Thorand @Channable. They use Haskell for a variety of backend services. The biggest one by far is their data processing system, which powers the import from our customers, manages the data storage, and applies the user-defined rules to the data before streaming it to other components in our backend which handle the actual connections to the third-party platforms. By Liam Mooney.

Lessons from writing a compiler
Posted on July 8, 2022, Level advanced Resource Length long
The standard academic literature is most useful for the extreme frontend (parsing) and the extreme backend (SSA, instruction selection and code generation), but the middle-end is ignored. This is fine if you want to learn how to build, e.g., the next LLVM: a fat backend with a very thin frontend. By Fernando Borretti.
