A Modern Compiler for the French Tax Code
In France, income tax is computed from taxpayers' individual returns, using an algorithm that is authored, designed and maintained by the French Public Finances Directorate (DGFiP). This algorithm relies on a legacy custom language and compiler originally designed in 1990, which unlike French wine, did not age well with time. Owing to the shortcomings of the input language and the technical limitations of the compiler, the algorithm is proving harder and harder to maintain, relying on ad-hoc be…

🧩 Bonus: container attribute injection with #[Context('trace_id')], conditional when()/unless(), exception reporting that carries context, and survival across the scheduler subprocess via __LARAVEL_CONTEXT.

Hot tip for Danish dwellers and visitors alike: Tivoli has a *brilliant* summer classical music series. Some of the best soloists in the world perform *right in the centre of #Copenhagen*.
Tickets include entry to #Tivoli park and aren't even very expensive. The concerts are very very rarely at capacity, which given the Stars they invite would unlikely be true in London or Amsterdam.
This evening was the *fantastic* Aristo Sham performing Beethoven, Chopin and Rachmaninov. Stunningly good evening I'm still thinking about. So if you're in the city in July and August, check it out.
