I'm having way too much fun with #kotlin letting me name functions with free text :D

Does anyone know if #Swift has something like the experimental flags in #Kotlin? Example: I want to publish a very edgy-probably-only-works-on-my-iPhone API in a library but I want to make it very clear to people using the API that they're walking on unstable grounds

#IndieDev

@Rin3d @protonprivacy We use it as the cross-platform foundation for our apps (and I'm told the backend and storage teams are also looking into using Rust).

So basically, we write our business logic in Rust and compile it to #WebAssembly ( #Wasm) for the web, and to a shared object for loading into #Kotlin for #Android and a static library for use in #Swift for #iOS. We also have #Windows desktop clients to eventually support.

It's basically the age-old dream of write once, run everywhere 😄

Cool, lenses in #http4k are transclusions for the HTTP protocol, itself.

#Kotlin #WWW
"A Lens is a bi-directional entity which can be used to either get or set a particular value from/onto an HTTP message."

@nixCraft hmm... does the example shows SwiftUI in use?

I do wonder when they would allow it for #Windows & #Linux -- could be interesting alternative to #Kotlin

Last week, the long-awaited new generation #ProtonMail apps were released for #Android and #iOS! They are faster and with new features (see https://proton.me/blog/new-mail-apps for details).

Especially interesting for me is the use of #Rust: about 80% of the code is shared between the platforms now. This is thanks to #UniFFI allowing us to write native Swift/Kotlin code on top of a solid Rust core.

Looking for a new work place starting in 2026Q1.
Remote and/or near #Hannover / #Braunschweig

Senior Software Developer, primarily in #Java / #Kotlin but I know a few other langs from #CPP, #Batch, #AndroidDev to #CSharp and I'm experienced enough to know programming is about communcating with fellow humans and every other computer thing can be learned shortly.
I can't stress how unimportant the lang is.

Queer, CCC, degree of disability
, Thanks!

I randomly started using the nightly release of NewPipe, instead of the stable version.

Wow, it’s so fast.

One thing I've been wondering for years is whether I could use something like the Physarum algorithm to transport elements along the paths that form.

The issue was that the paths are transited by agents moving in both directions. Rivers don't do that.

During the Creative Code Jam last Saturday I figured out a way to have one direction per path. So nice to watch in real time 😊 I only had my 10 y.o. laptop, so had to work on 640x480 😅 #CreativeCoding#OPENRNDR#Kotlin
