So Epoch has managed to self-host (as of an embarrassingly long time ago) and the Era IDE is slowly turning into something actually worth using. Over the past few days I got a rudimentary symbol lookup feature done, where you can press F11 to process a project and F12 with the text caret over a sym…

Turns out that leaving a project alone for six months is a great way to discover that it's full of mysterious bugs you don't remember having.
I noticed some weird behavior with Era, the Epoch IDE, earlier this evening, and started poking around looking for explanations. It turns out that in some wei…

Sampler-Based Profiling: The Quick Version
So you're happily working on some code, and suddenly it happens: everything is just too damn slow! Something is eating up all your performance, but it's not immediately obvious what to do about it.
One of the first things any experienced programmer will tell…

No structure or real nice formatting will be found in this post. This is a stream-of-consciousness blathering process wherein I contemplate how to organize code in a way that escapes the limitations of the file paradigm.

I've written before about how much I want to get away from the "code goes in files" model of programming. The more code I write, and the larger the project, the less it makes sense to organize everything strictly by file names.
Yes, folder hierarchies can be one reasonable way to group related code.…

It's been well over a year since I embarked on the monumental project of self-hosting the Epoch language compiler. In all that time, there have been a whopping ZERO releases of the language or any of its accompanying tools/examples/etc.
I'd been taking some time off from Epoch for a number of reason…

Why in the ever living FUCK does Visual Studio 2012 insist on bringing itself to the foreground every time the debugger starts?
This is fucking horseshit. I have multiple projects that I have to work on concurrently, each with a separate VS instance. So if I want to fire up one instance's debugger, …

It's an interesting time, that's for sure.
Work has been consuming a monumental portion of my time and energy lately; and while I can't talk about it yet, I can say that it has definitively been a lot of fun and I really can't wait to unleash what I've been working on. There's a ton of potential in …

All programmers undergo a transformation, from the moment they first start typing code, until the moment they realize that there's more important things in life than making computers obey one's whims. (I hypothesize that this latter moment occurs after death, because I sure can't think of anything …
