Rewriting the Ruby parser
At Shopify, we have spent the last year writing a new Ruby parser, which we’ve called YARP (Yet Another Ruby Parser). As of the date of this post, YARP can parse a semantically equivalent syntax tree to Ruby 3.3 on every Ruby file in Shopify’s main codebase, GitHub’s main codebase, CRuby, and the 100 most popular gems downloaded from rubygems.org. We recently got approval to merge this work into CRuby, and are very excited to share our work with the community. This post will take you thro…

PathDB: A system for evaluating regular path queries
PathDB is a Java-based graph database designed for in-memory data loading and querying. By utilizing Regular Path Queries (RPQ) and a closed path algebra, PathDB processes paths through its three main components: the parser, the logical plan, and the physical plan. This modular design allows for targeted optimizations and modifications without impacting overall functionality. Benchmark experiments illustrate PathDB's execution times and flexibility in handling dynamic and complex path queries, …

My First Open Source AI Generated Library
In a first for me, I published some agentic programmed AI slop to PyPI.

Today i wrote a parser & import to convert some semi-structured plain text into 40 different newsletter issues for an upcoming newsletter relaunch. And also fixed the internal structure of some of the mail widgets we are using, and their HTML representation.
