The Excel Formula Language Is Now Turing-Complete
The Excel team announced LAMBDA, a new feature that lets users define and name formula functions. LAMBDA functions admit parameters, can call other LAMBDA functions and recursively call themselves. With LAMBDA, the Excel formula language is Turing-complete: user-defined functions can thus compute anything without resorting to imperative languages (e.g., VBA, JavaScript).

Benefits of Loosely Coupled Deep Learning Serving
As deep networks are becoming more specialized and resource-hungry, serving such networks on acceleration hardware in tight-budget environments is also becoming difficult. Instead of using API frameworks, loosely coupled components can be preferred as an alternative. They bring high controllability, easy adaptability, transparent observability, and cost-effectiveness when serving deep networks.

Lessons Learned about Developer Experience from the Platform Adoption Metrics @ Naranja
With the intent of improving the product-based approach to their internal platform, Naranja has implemented an automated metrics solution that captures essential figures that describe how their teams are doing in terms of adoption, up-to-dateness and applicability of the solutions their Developer Experience creates. This enables better collaboration on their technology roadmap.

Why Design Systems Need APIs - Q&A with Louis Chenais, Chief Evangelist at Specify
Design systems exist for their business value: to help organizations reach brand consistency across many platforms like the web, Android, or iOS. Design APIs strive to connect the consumers and the contributors of a design system through the tools they use on a daily basis.

Implementing Pipeline Microservicilities with Tekton
Microservicilities is a list of cross-cutting concerns that a service must implement apart from the business logic. These concerns include invocation, elasticity and resiliency, among others. This article describes how a service mesh such as Istio may be used to implement these concerns.

‘Debt’ as a Guide on the Agile Journey: Technical Debt
In this article in a series on how ‘debt’ can be used to guide an agile journey, we will provide two examples of smells that are related to technical debt, explain the symptoms, the impact on the business and in our organization, outline the experiments (countermeasures) that we have introduced in an effort to try to remove the smell, and provide some specific advice for you to be inspired.

Quick and Seamless Release Management for Java Projects with JReleaser
Andres Almiray's quest to learn Go led him to discover GoReleaser and its multiple benefits to managing Go projects. Inspired by a conversation with Max Andersen about the manner in which JBang manages releases on multiple platforms, Almiray embarked on a journey to build a flexible release tool for the Java ecosystem. InfoQ spoke to Almiray for a detailed view of JReleaser.
