Talks

Build-A-Barging Lock

By kprotty

A talk about locking primitives and the hows and whys your multithreaded code is actually never fast I swear to god this is impossible how can 10 threads be slower than only one also now my debug prints are all out of order wtf

He also draws funny sketches about programming languages. What's in the cage? Is that what I think it is?

Rewriting a C++ tool in Zig

By gwenzek

A while ago gwenzek decided to learn Zig and at the same time also put to the test whether the "fastBPE" project written in C++ was actually truly fast. Guess what was the outcome?

If you don't mind spoilers, he also wrote about the experience (NOTE: link not safe for Snektron).

See you at showtime,
