How to Use Rust Procedural Macros to Replace Panic with syn’s Fold
In this article, we show how you can write advanced macros to step through Rust code and modify it. Using the standard tooling available in the syn crate, we first show how to change the occurrence of a panic into an Err. Then we go a step beyond and use the Fold trait to recursively step through the entire function, automatically executing a change in every applicable location.

AI-Based Prose Programming for Subject Matter Experts: Will This Work?
In this article, author Markus Völter discusses the future of programming using Large Language Model (LLM) tools like ChatGPT and GitHub’s Copilot for prose-to-code generation. He also talks about what new approaches and language changes need to be in place to help non-programmers take advantage of the "program in prose" techniques.

Relearning C++ after C++11
C++ is an old but evolving language. It has been around for a long time, but has changed significantly, particularly since 2011. In this article, we will review a few of its most compelling new features, including ranges, lambdas, range-based for loops, and move semantics, all by practising with a vector.

Designing for Concurrency: the Hilbert’s Hotel Problem in Go
In this article, we want to show how achieving concurrency is the result of an appropriate design. A concurrent solution may turn out to be more elegant and easier to reason about than an equivalent sequential algorithm. To illustrate these concepts we use, as an example, the Hilbert’s Hotel mathematical problem.
