Plurrrr

We'll first see what recursion is about and why you should use it. Then, we'll see how functions work (down under; buckle up we're gonna write assembly code and Fortran), invent automatic memory, and see why you shouldn't use recursion.

We'll take a quick detour in optimization land to explain why you should use recursion sometimes, and have a little theoretical trip to really understand what's under recursion, and why some things are inherently recursive and others aren't.

We'll have a language stay and learn a bit of Polish (notation), and discover the power of stack machines. To conclude, we'll try writing a Rust macro that parses and executes Forth code at compile time.

Over the last few weeks I did a bit of tinkering on a hobby software project. The code was written by two other people during the last several years and I finally managed to find some time to fix a couple of bugs.

Calling asynchronous Rust code in a synchronous context may lead to problems, particularly for beginners who are unfamiliar with asynchronous Rust runtime, such as Tokio. In this blog post, we will be discussing a particular problem that we came across and the approach we took to identify and resolve it.
