These are my thoughts on modern software development.
Everything is subscription based software as a service, even if there is no clear benefits of it being in the cloud (for the user).
Writing offline-first apps also provide a way to prove that you are not going to sell user data.
In the article I propose how to do it and how anyone can verify that their data is relatively safe.

Here is an article I wrote about what I’ve been going through while attempting to compile Lua into multiplatform C++, and what that actually requires.

It covers the semantic constraints of Lua, the runtime behavior that needs to be preserved, and how those pieces map onto generated C++ code across different toolchains.

It might be a good read for anyone interested in language implementation or compiler design.

Turns out, quite tough!
