An MCP server is not a new API. It is a thin layer over the one you already have

Somewhere in the last year, "do we need an MCP server?" joined the list of questions that arrive in a brief before anyone has said what the thing is for. It is usually framed as MCP vs API, as though the Model Context Protocol were a newer kind of AP...

Go type yourself!

DHH said that typescript is pure "type masterbation". And though I agree with his premise, It is a fixable problem. And I say we use the type system to do just that. There is a familiar complaint about TypeScript: too much of the code is types talki...

Markdown without a back door: <md>

How scrml lets an author write bold instead of , and why nothing inside an block can ever run. Where this came from It started with a security review, not a feature request. scrml treats the bodies of and as raw content, and until this week the c...

Function coloring the right way

Let It Leak Purity Stop hating on functions. They can't help what color they are; they were born that way. You ought to know. You made them. We all hate leaky abstractions. But if an abstraction is going to leak, I say let it leak purity. That's ...

Parallelize more with BlockLease

One of the ideas in the scrml compiler that I am excited about, is something I call "BlockLease." Safe parallelism in agentic code work forces concurrency to be locked to files. Two agents editing the same file just leads to re-creating every atomi...

Arrays are dumb. So are tuples.

The array/tuple question was never meant to be a long running thing. And as it often happens, the solution was right there in front of me the whole time. Arrays are intuitive, fast, and let you do basically anything. Therein lies the problem with th...

Assume the compiler works perfectly

When developers look at a new programming language, they usually test it by running the compiler. That makes sense, since the compiler is the only part you can actually run. But it hides a distinction that matters a lot for an early stage language: t...

I am Jack's `<engine>`

I am Jack's . Without me, Jack's application has values without a place. Jack declares me once. I am a singleton. Every part of his program that reads my cell is reading the same me. ${ type Order:enum = { Cart, Paying, Paid, Shipped, Refunded...

An honest question

To whom it may concern, The articles that I publish. The smack talking that I engage in, here or on X more likely. That is all an attempt at engaging anyone, with an opinion and the junk to back it, in a conversation about what programming should lo...

I am Jack's `<program>`

I am Jack's . Jack declares me once, in one file, for the whole application. Everything he writes lives inside me — his markup, his logic, his styles, his database. There is a line running through me. On one side is Jack's server. On the other is a...

If You Give a Dev an Enum, then

If you give a dev an enum, they're going to ask if they can match on it. When you let them match on it, they'll want to know they got it all. So the compiler counts. And it finds one. It says E-MATCH-NOT-EXHAUSTIVE, and it names the variant: .Empt...

A struct is a data strucure, of course of course

When I started designing this language, I had a lot of fundamental decisions to make. Among those, one of the easiest was whether or not to allow virtual functions in scrml structs. If I had chosen to include virtual functions; I would have just cal...

I have a conffession to make

I am not exactly sure when this language really started to become writable. I imagine I am one of the few, if not the only guy to build a legitimately usable programming language without ever really having written it. Don't get me wrong. I have writ...
