zigRust Const Generics: Moving Array Sizes from Runtime to Compile Time
Rust const generics let you move array sizes from runtime values into the type system. Learn how to replace heap-allocated Vecs and typenum boilerplate with compile-time fixed-size types.
rustUsing Haxe Macros for Compile-Time Code Generation: A Practical Guide
Haxe macros generate typed code at compile time, eliminating boilerplate with zero runtime cost. This guide walks through a working build-info macro, hygiene rules, compile-time costs, and how to verify expansions in the generated target output.
haxeHaxe Macros: Compile-Time Code Generation Without the Magic
Haxe macros run at compile time and rewrite your AST before target code is generated. Here's a worked compile-time validation example, plus the debugging, versioning, and cross-target trade-offs that decide whether a macro belongs in your codebase.
Compile-Time JSON Serialization with Haxe Macros
Haxe macros generate zero-overhead, type-safe JSON encoders and decoders at compile time, eliminating runtime reflection overhead.
Using Haxe Macros as a Compile-Time Enforcement Layer: An Architecture Note
An architecture note on using Haxe compile-time macros as the smallest design for rules that must never be bypassed at runtime — covering trust boundaries, operational checks, and when to replace macros with external generators.
Zero‑Overhead Dimensional Safety in F#: How Units of Measure Prevent Runtime Errors
F#’s Units of Measure let you attach dimensional units to numeric values, catching mistakes like adding meters to seconds at compile time. This post walks through defining units, using them in calculations, and highlights IDE support, trade‑offs, and a quick checklist.
fsharpTurn Null‑Reference Bugs into Compile‑Time Errors with Haxe 4’s Null Safety
Haxe 4’s null safety turns every potential null dereference into a compiler error. Learn how to enable it, how the compiler analyzes your code, and what trade‑offs you’ll face when migrating an existing codebase.
