"Have you ever tried programming with a language that uses musical notation? What about a language that never runs programs the same way? What about a language where you write code with photographs?
All exist, among many others, in the world of esoteric programming languages, and Daniel Temkin has written a forthcoming book covering 44 of them, some of which exist and are usable to some interpretation of the word “usable.” The book, Forty-Four Esolangs: The Art of Esoteric Code, is out on 23 September, published by MIT Press.
I was introduced to Temkin’s work at the yearly Free and Open source Software Developer’s European Meeting (FOSDEM) event in Brussels in February. FOSDEM is typically full of strange and wonderful talks, where the open-source world gets to show its more unusual side. In Temkin’s talk, which I later described to a friend as “the most FOSDEM talk of 2025,” he demonstrated Valence, a programming language that uses eight ancient Greek measuring and numeric symbols."

🚨 Double release! Opteryx v0.25.0 and v0.25.1 just dropped—because sometimes, performance can’t wait.
v0.25.1 introduces a new optimizer for visibility filters, after we saw just how wild some of those incoming queries were. 😅
One of the worst offenders? 110 seconds down to 4. Yep, we wrote a reducer - and it reduced.
Give it a try and drop us a ⭐!

I highly dislike how bloated and AI filled DeepL has become.
Thinking about installing LibreTranslate on my server and use that one instead.

📢 Pierwsza aktualizacja: Wayland jest, ale w moim przypadku po restarcie - nie działa (wpisuję hasło i laptop się zamraża). Zostanę na X11... 😅

I'm very happy how my Linux Mint looks like these days. I did a few changes to the themes I use manually and overall the ethereal look is off the charts. Love it.
Gruvbox Plus icons, Desert-Teal-Light (modified) theme, Cinnamon default theme, Bibata-modern-ice cursor theme, gruvbox wallpaper, Nokia font (thanks @thomholwerda ).

Decades in Vim
From Perl CGI to C++, Apache configs to server logs — on Linux, Unix, and macOS, I still open a terminal and type vi.https://islandinthenet.com/decades-in-vim/

Announcing node-hooker! 🚀
I built a zero-dependency library that brings the power of WordPress-style Actions & Filters to your #NodeJS and browser projects.
It's a simple way to build decoupled, extensible, and plugin-like architectures.
