White image with the words "The evolution of the trash icon". On it are seven Windows "Trash icons", each with a year under it. (1995, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2015, 2025, and 2026) For 2025, the "Trash icon" is replaced with the Microsoft Teams icon. For 2026, the "Trash icon" is replaced with the Microsoft Copilot icon.
Been working on my first real project in Crystal past few weeks. Been a joy, haven’t felt this way since Ruby. Single executable feed web dashboard. Drop an yaml file and run the program, that’s it. Has tabs, autoloads as file changes, tracks source repos. #crystal-lang github.com/kritoke/quic...
Sylve is indeed impressive, Bhyvemgr is really looking interesting too. #FreeBSD sure is on an uptick with usable products. Their KDE installer in the next release is certainly going to make things even more interesting.
GHC 9.14.1-rc1 is now available. This includes an important fix which ensures compatibility with macOS 26 and later. This fix will be backported to GHC 9.12 and 9.10 in the coming months.
Happy Haskelling!

Microsoft says it’s aware of the Task Manager bug and is “working on a resolution for this issue”
The Kickstarter is off to a great start!! It would be huge to reach the second stretch goal, including Rebar in OTP would get rid of the #1 problem people run into when getting started with Gleam and Erlang ⭐️

Deep in a cave, two people stand inside a vast underground space with a circular pattern in the cavern ceiling, far above them. A headline reads This Cave in Kentucky Was a Smelly Disaster. Now It’s Spectacular.
For generations, Horse Cave, Kentucky, smelled awful. Miles of caverns and waterways underneath the small town brimmed with sewage that sent a putrid stench up from the depths and across downtown. Then came an audacious vision, a bit of money and a lot of grit. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/c...
“We do have systems that are written in mainstream programming languages like Python and JavaScript, but our strategy is to pick the best tool for the job, not just the most popular. Gleam was a good fit for our requirements.”

A graphic showing many cute pink stars and the message "Thank you from Gleam, 20,000 GitHub Stars"
Gleam just broke 20,000 GitHub stars!
Wow that's a lot of Gleamlins 💖
Can confirm.
It’s also a great reminder to all #fsharp devs that wanted “official” LSP/VSCode-extension from MSFT…
Ionide and FsAutoComplete may not be perfect, but at least I won’t fuck around with licenses.
Fun fact: according to @orta.io, a prehistoric version of #TypeScript was actually implemented in #FSharp (youtu.be/X8k_4tZ16qU?...).

Neat idea. Meditation retreats are always digital detoxing for me, nice that it’s catching on with younger folks who grew up online.

CAD view of the frame, the motion and the side panels. The printed parts are in orange and the rest in gray.
The Jubilee is an open source 3D printer toolchanger that deserves to be better known. The extruder's locking system is on the frame to save weight. The design is well thought, it uses quality hardware and the doc is impressive.
