Who needs Graphviz when you can build it yourself?, https://spidermonkey.dev/blog/2025/10/28/iongraph-web.html.

SpiderMonkey has replaced Graphviz by a custom graph layout renderer for their internal devtools. This article explains how the algorithm works, step by step (inspired by Sugiyama et al.'s algorithm, used by Graphviz, but simplified and with more constraints).

Pretty neat!

Fabrice #Bellard is the French code monster who created QEMU, FFmpeg, Tiny C, and tonnes of other highly influential, highly efficient programmes.

But his 2002 IOCCC-winning Obfuscated Tiny C Compiler—a 2048-byte-long, self-hosting C #compiler—is special, even in the company of his other inventions.

FYI: LLVM vs .NET: Why Choose LLVM? #shorts: LLVM boasts significant industry and community support. It’s older than .NET, with backing and resources. LLVM offers versatility across platforms, empowering developers while requiring careful memory management. #LLVM #dotNET #compiler #technology #programming https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fwfBJivpZSE

@citizen428 H'mmmm... that looks extremely interesting. Anyone else interested in giving it a go?

The actual course seems already to have happened, the first lecture was scheduled for 26th August and there are only two lectures still to go; but it looks to me as though there's enough in the teaching materials to follow along.

Learning anything chewy is easier to do in groups...
