It’s been more than a year now that I wanted to try and start a blog. But being a tad OCD means I could never settle on a title, domain name, theme or even color scheme for my code snippets (yeah, it was that bad).

Anyway, I feel it’s time for me to take a leap of faith and don’t fret too much on such matters and most importantly, start doing some writin’ yo!

So if you like to read about some niche experimental language you’ve never heared of, decypher some big scary mathematical formulas I don’t even always understand myself, or just follow along as I talk endlessly about type systems and other controversial subjects in software engineering (like semicolons, TDD, or comments in code), let’s roll! 🚀

Oh, and by the way, I like emojis 🌈. They’re cute. Don’t be a hater!

Some random additional things to take into account before you go.

I chose gitalk for my comment system. What that means is that you will need a Github account if you plan to leave a comment (and I really invite you to!). I realize that might be inconvenient if you are not a tech person but I truly hate disqus with a passion.

I won’t talk only about software engineering or computer science subjects. I happen to be french, so naturally I love food and I love cooking and I am really, really passionate about it so there is a good chance I will write about it from time to time.

Finally, I promised you some niche language snippets and weird math formulas so here you go:

  • a little bit of idris wisdom (unfortunately, chroma highlighting is quite buggy with idris still)

zipWith : (a -> b -> c) -> Vect n a -> Vect n b -> Vect n c
zipWith _ [] [] = []
zipWith f (x :: xs) (y :: ys) = f x y :: zipWith f xs ys
  • the rules of induction for the natural numbers
    • $Rule 1$ : $0$ is a natural number
    • $Rule 2$ : if $n$ is a natural number, then $succ(n)$ is a natural number

$$ \begin{array}{cl} \displaystyle\frac{}{0 : \mathtt{Nat}} & {(Rule 1)} \\ \\ \\ \
\displaystyle\frac{n : \mathtt{Nat}}{\mathtt{succ}(n) : \mathtt{Nat}} & {(Rule 2)} \\ \\ \\ \
\end{array} $$
