Welcome to my blog of messages from a coder, namely me, Jimmy Hartzell.

It is about a variety of topics.

Programming#

I write a fair amount about programming and computers, particularly these categories:

• Rust: My favorite non-GC’d programming language
• Haskell: My favorite GC’d programming language
• C++: The programming language I used to use professionally

I myself used to think Rust would never replace C++, but now I have written a blog series and mdbook about why I think Rust is better. The most popular post of that series is about move semantics.

I also have a few non-blog pages:

• External recommended reading
• Rust opinions that I’m gradually growing
• Programming portfolio

Non-Technical#

I also do write about non-technical topics:

• Reviews of literature and/or other media
  • Reading log of what books I’ve read
• Commentary on scripture and religious debates
• My own fiction, of which the first piece is the best out of those I’ve posted
• Travel.
• Organization
  • Which helps with my ADHD
  • … and running this blog!
