Last month, the micropress I co-founded with my partner released our first full-length novel.

On the 5th of June of this year, I had bottom surgery at WIH in Thailand.

As I start this post, I feel the need to say that being trans and going down the path of intentionally changing my body, the way I'm perceived in the world, and the way I see myself hasn't been an easy journey.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped believing in America.

Co-authored with Aurora Foo We just finished reading "How to Read a Trans Fem Writer".

Hi all!

I've been involved in the Rust project in some form or another since 2016, and it's a language I'm very comfortable using.

I'm sitting here, reading a book, thinking about the road ahead for me as a trans woman.

Today marks one year on HRT.

2023 was the year I managed to rediscover my love of books and reading.

I started thinking this year what a "Year in Review" might look like, but to be honest, I've had one bright theme running through it that I kept coming back to: being trans.

Recently, I had a chat with some of my friends about Nushell and why they stuck with traditional shells like bash/zsh or the "new" hotness like fish rather than using Nushell.

Hi, I'm trans.

There's a lot of speculation about why I left Rust yesterday, so I want to set the record straight in this post.

It all started innocently enough.

Today marks my first month clean from YouTube.

Hi, I'm a YouTube addict.

I just finished watching the movie called Stutz, a movie created by Jonah Hill about his psychiatrist.

I've been thinking recently about being on the Autistic spectrum.

I've been thinking recently...

I've been thinking recently about what the future for scripting languages could look like.

Before starting a shell, if you would have asked me what an exit code was, I would have quickly replied "0 for success, non-zero for failure" without batting an eye.

Yesterday was my last day at Microsoft.

Hi all!

Nushell, or Nu for short, is a new shell that takes a modern, structured approach to your commandline.

Today, we're introducing a new shell, written in Rust.

Look Mom, Pikachu running in Windows CMD!

Talking about a language's popularity is traditionally a tricky topic.

It's that time again!

Seeing Nick Nethercote's blog post about speeding up the compiler, I started wondering just how fast could a Rust compiler be?

This is an entry in the #rust2018 blogging efforts to talk about Rust in 2018 When you come to Rust, you're bound to hear a lot of phrases.

Here's my #rust2018 post to add to the batch.

There are now 100 friends of Rust (Be sure to hover to learn about how each company uses Rust) There are now 3 Rust podcasts: New Rustacean, Rusty Spike, and Request for Explanation First year had one conference, the second year had three, and this year h…

We've got some good news for Rust IDE support.

As a Rust user, I was discouraged by not having all the good tips for using Rust in Windows in one place.

Today, we're happy to announce the second alpha for the Rust Language Server, a project build to bring high-quality Rust IDE support to any IDE or editor.

Today, we're announcing the first alpha release of the Rust Language Server (aka RLS).

This week, the talented Julien Fitzpatrick (btw, you should check out their RustConf talk if you haven't already) asked what a good list would be for people who are interested in programming languages and compilers.

I recently did some work with Niko Matsakis on a new compiler error format.

I've just updated Rhai to 0.2.

For the last few weeks, I've been working on an embedded scripting language for Rust, based loosely on ChaiScript called Rhai.

One of the first things you might notice about Rust, if you come to it from other OOP-style languages, is that Rust separates methods from the data they work on.

In case you find yourself trying to match a String (perhaps as part of an Option or Result), here's a little trick.

I got a lot of great feedback on my previous post "Rust and the Blub Paradox", which inspired me to write a follow-up.

A few weeks ago, I read an analysis of Rust, D, and Go by Andrei Alexandrescu.

When I left Seattle, I jokingly told my friend "the first country I'm travelling to is Hawaii".
