I’ve been coding in Lua lately, mostly writing games using Love2D. Neovim already supports Lua well, as it’s the language used for writing its plugins, but I did install coc-lua for better completion, inline documentation and more linting support.

Recently I was puzzled when I was attempting to use libc.strftime in Odin, trying to understand how to make it behave respecting the system localization setting.

The Linux documentation project has a nice Program Library HOWTO explaining several concepts around libraries on Linux.

Continuing on my journey learning Zig and audio programming, and also making a good follow-up to the time I wrote Zig to manually generate a WAVE file, today I decided to generate a WAVE file using libsndfile.

In my Zig learning journey, for some problems I have found the standard library documentation a bit too curt.

Today I learned how to use a debugger to debug Zig programs. The lldb way (gdb style) First, I learned how to use lldb, the debugger provided by the LLVM project.

Today I took some time to configure my Neovim with a plugin that I had recently bumped into: a the nvim-dap debug adapter and its UI nvim-dap-ui.

In the last post, I told you how I learned the basics of generating a WAVE file, both in Python and Zig.

Today I set out to learn how to create a WAVE file. I had recently gone through an article about reading and writing wave files in Python, which whet my appetite to do somewhat the same in Zig.

Since last weekend I’ve been toying around implementing a calculator in Zig. One of my favorite algorithms I learned in college from my data structures classes were the shunting yard algorithm to parse and evaluate expressions, converting to the reverse Polish notation.
