Hi folks!
I'm Miguel. Here I write mainly about programming and side projects.
I've written my own programming language called Grotsky, and im
rewriting it in Rust.

Im rewriting Grotsky (my toy programming language) in Rust, the previous implementation
was done in Go. The goal of the rewrite is to improve my Rust skills, and to improve the performance of Grotsky,
by at least 10x.

Cloud Outdated was a personalized digest of updates for cloud services. It's sad to see it go,
but it was a fun project to work on, learn some new stuff and collab with a friend.
There are some takeaways from this that I'd like to share.

In this post we're going to write a basic Redis clone in Go that implements the most simple commands: GET,
SET, DEL and QUIT. At the end you'll know how to parse a byte stream from a live TCP connection, and hopefully have a working
implementation of Redis.

Grotsky is a toy programming language that I made for fun. Today we're visinting the concept of Quines,
a.k.a. self replicating programs. It's said that any turing-complete language should be able to write a program that replicates
itself. And grotsky is no exception.

A couple weeks ago Heroku announced the removal. I have plenty of projects running on free dynos.
I have taken some time to move my code to Fly.io. And also I've written a little tutorial of how to perform the migration.

When teams start to grow, having a single dev environment becomes an issue. People start stepping on each others toes.
A common problem is that two people want to apply incompatible migrations on the database. That problem is impossible
to fix if folks are working on parallel branches.
If we can have a database for each branch of a project, that will remove much of the pain of having multiple devs applying
changes to the db.

Cloud Outdated is a personalized digest of updates for cloud services. Works like a newsletter where you can choose
which services you want to get notified about. For example: Subscribe to AWS Lambda with Python runtime, and you'll get an email
when 3.10 is supported.

In this last post of the year I play with proxies in an attempt to create a Javascript object where changes are appended
to a log and can be reverted by deleting the last element of the log using getters and setters.
