Abhinav 🌏I'm writing a series of blog posts, in which I write a <a href="https://fantastic.earth/tags/bytecode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bytecode</a> <a href="https://fantastic.earth/tags/compiler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#compiler</a> and a <a href="https://fantastic.earth/tags/virtualMachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#virtualMachine</a> for arithmetic in <a href="https://fantastic.earth/tags/Haskell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Haskell</a>. We explore the following topics in the series:- Parsing arithmetic expressions to ASTs. - Compiling ASTs to bytecode. - Interpreting ASTs. - Efficiently executing bytecode in a VM. - Disassembling bytecode and decompiling opcodes for debugging and testing. - Unit testing and property-based testing for our compiler and VM. - Benchmarking our code to see how the different passes perform. - All the while keeping an eye on performance.The second post of the series that focuses on writing the <a href="https://fantastic.earth/tags/compiler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#compiler</a> is now out: <a href="https://abhinavsarkar.net/posts/arithmetic-bytecode-vm-compiler" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://abhinavsarkar.net/posts/arithmetic-bytecode-vm-compiler</a><a href="https://fantastic.earth/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#programming</a> <a href="https://fantastic.earth/tags/Blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Blogging</a> <a href="https://fantastic.earth/tags/compilers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#compilers</a> <a href="https://fantastic.earth/tags/programmingLanguages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#programmingLanguages</a>

cryptaxToday, I discovered that Rust does monomorphization... and what monomorphization is!<a href="https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/backend/monomorph.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/backend/monomorph.html</a>Basically, it's mostly important (I think) if you are reversing Rust or need to understand what the compiler does. The idea is that with monomorphization, code which is apparently generic is actually compiled in a specialized manner for your code. Like you use "map", well, you'll get your own map with your own specificities.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rust</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/assembly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#assembly</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/compiler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#compiler</a>
