older newer index

• Item (news.ycombinator.com):

  An index of #LuaJIT implementation notes by Mike Pall, and a link to Maxine’s Higgs work on JS #JIT. #compilers

• Higgs (pointersgonewild.com):

  Maxine’s JS #JIT. #compilers

• Node gyp (github.com):

  #node-gyp is a thing for building #Node extensions.

• Node gyp (npmjs.com):

  "Node-gyp" for building #Node extensions (“native addons”) rather than using an #FFI; node-gyp replaces node-waf.

• Calling native C DLLs from a node JS web app (nodeaddons.com):

  #tutorial for using node-ffi, an #FFI for #Node.

• Node FFI tutorial (github.com):

  another #tutorial for using node-ffi, an #FFI for #Node. TooTallNate, who wrote a version of ctypes for Node, is working on this now.

• Node FFI (github.com):

  There’s an even shorter #tutorial for node-ffi on its homepage. require('ffi').Library('libm', {'ceil': ['double', ['double']]}).ceil(1.5) #FFI #Node

• (stackoverflow.com):

  You can use #LuaJIT to AOT-compile your #Lua code into a library: luajit -b $f $(basename $f .lua).o

• (nullprogram.com):

  #LuaJIT’s #FFI can be substantially faster than C linking because it avoids the PLT.

• Vim is saving me hours of work when writing books and courses (nickjanetakis.com):

  Writing a book in a single 900'000 word Markdown file in Vim is totally doable, using code folding to navigate; trying to do the same thing in VSCode was unusably slow.

  A web framework in #Forth.
