Anthropic's Claude Mythos successfully extended a Fortran-to-C transpiler to also support C++, fixing 14 bugs and passing 44 of 86 test targets in a GARCH volatility project. The AI worked for 2.5 hou…
Loop unrolling, a classic compiler optimization, is experiencing a resurgence in the machine learning era as a critical technique for maximizing throughput on modern compute architectures like SIMD ve…
A new empirical study comparing Python, C, C++, Rust, Go, and Julia for AI algorithms found that C and C++ are the fastest, with Rust trailing by 9%, while Python runs 315x slower. Memory usage varied…
A developer ported a C stress test to Clojure and achieved near-parity performance (0.86 ms vs 0.70 ms per frame) by using the JVM Vector API, static final species references, macros, and JDK 25, demo…
Guardog, a zero-copy C/Python DFA engine, scrubs logs at 571 MB/s, operating 14.4x faster than standard Python regex by bypassing the GIL and using in-place memory mutation. The engine is available fo…
Python's performance in the benchmarks game is roughly 40 times slower than C or C++, yet it remains the dominant language for data analysis and machine learning because core libraries like NumPy, Ten…
Argus, a new desktop coding assistant, has launched with a multi-agent architecture that simulates a real-world software team to autonomously execute coding tasks. The tool uses four AI roles—Project …
A hidden bottleneck in LLM proxy architectures is causing 5-13 millisecond blocking delays per request during tokenization, a CPU-bound operation that most systems treat as instantaneous. In event-loo…
The article explains that for decades, operating systems were built using C and C++, which offered high performance but introduced pervasive memory bugs responsible for roughly 70% of critical securit…
The article describes the author's experience building "C-dis," a Redis clone in C, to gain a practical understanding of networking and systems programming. It explains the progression from a simple b…
Tight C is a minimal systems programming language that compiles to C11 and features only 10 keywords, with no garbage collector, type inference, or object-oriented programming. It offers manual memory…
The article argues that C is a fundamentally fixable language, with its main flaws stemming from its outdated standard library rather than the language itself. The author proposes replacing null-termi…
