There are times when network security defenders need to compile exploit code. It is not unusual for more than a dozen new exploits against Windows and Linux machines to be released each day, and ...

Over two weeks and nearly 2,000 Claude Code sessions costing about $20,000 in API fees, the AI model agents reportedly produced a 100,000-line Rust-based compiler capable of building a bootable Linux ...

We don’t know what normal people argue about, but we know we spend a lot of time arguing about the best microcontroller, which editor is the best, and what language or compiler does the best job. The ...

Older CPUs and some fairly modern microcontrollers are not made to readily support C compilers. Among those are the 1802, some 8-bit PICs, and the 6502 at the heart of the Commodore 64. That’s not to ...

Developers choose Rust because they can use it to write software that is memory-safe, correct, and—above all—fast. But the Rust compiler isn’t always the fastest car in the garage. The larger a Rust ...
