Two days ago I read about a new programming language - Vale. This project just did first public steps, but already looked interesting.

In some sense Vale brings to mind Rust: it is based on the idea of single ownership and regions. But obviously it differs a lot and does some things the own way.

Vale uses LLVM and therefore targets many platforms.

I hope eventually the project will bring us a worthy alternative to Rust, Zig and Go.

A friend of mine asked me how to write object-oriented code in non-OOP languages, such as C. There are many articles on this topic, but not all are good. I liked this article by Chris Wellons.

Hey. I need system programmers for the team creating the core of KasperskyOS.

If you know the C language perfectly, understand the architecture of operating systems, have experience of kernel-level development, it would be great to talk at an interview.

We have our microkernel, drivers and system services, a hypervisor, and a security system. There is also a family of DSLs for describing security policies and a compiler for them. In short, a lot of interesting work!

The offices are located in Moscow, near Vodny Stadion and Dynamo metro stations.

Send me a message if interested (@richiefreedom).

ShivyC is a simple compiler for a subset of C11 written in Python. It uses an intermediate representation and allocates registers using George and Appel’s iterated register coalescing algorithm.
