How Meta ported million Lines of Android code from Java to Kotlin
Posted on December 31, 2024, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
The Meta Java project is an open-source effort to create a new, more efficient, and modern compiler for the Java language. One of its key goals is to make Kotlin, which is widely used in Android app development, compatible with the Meta Java platform. This means that developers can write Kotlin code that targets the Meta Java virtual machine (VM) and run on it, rather than relying on the traditional Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The goal is to provide a more efficient and secure way to develop high-performance applications. By Sergio De Simone.

Kotlin KSP — how to automate everything in the world
Posted on December 30, 2024, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
Kotlin KSP (Kotlin Standard Library Provider) is a tool that allows developers to compile their Kotlin code into platform-specific binaries. This means that you can write your app's code once and have it run on multiple platforms, without having to rewrite it for each one. The compilation process is automated through the use of Gradle, which is a build automation tool that can manage dependencies and build processes for you. By Serhii Hryshyn.

Object oriented programming (OOP) in Python
Posted on December 15, 2024, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
Object-oriented programming (OOP) in Python lets you structure your code by grouping related properties and behaviors into individual objects. You create classes as blueprints and instantiate them to form objects. With OOP, you can model real-world entities and their interactions, and create complex systems with reusable components. By David Amos.

How Kubernetes requests and limits really work
Posted on November 5, 2024, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
Kubernetes is inarguably an elegant, refined, well-designed edifice of open source enterprise software. It is known. Even so, the internal machinations of this mighty platform tool are shrouded in mystery. Friendly abstractions, like "resource requests" for CPU and memory, hide from view a host of interrelated processes — precise and polished scheduling algorithms, clever transformations of friendly abstractions into arcane kernel features, a perhaps unsurprising amount of math — all conjoining to produce the working manifestations of a user's expressed intent. By Reid Vandewiele.
