Uno Platform Studio Introduces Hot Design for Enhanced Cross-Platform .NET Development The Uno Platform has announced the launch of Uno Platform Studio, a comprehensive toolkit designed to improve productivity in cross-platform .NET application development. Among its features is Hot Design, a visual designer that enables developers to seamlessly transform a running application into a design, regardless of their choice of IDE or operating system. Unveiled on November 14, this new suite also includes powerful tools like Hot Reload, which dynamically applies code changes, and a Figma plugin for smooth design-to-code workflows. While Hot Reload and the Figma plugin are already…

Exploring Cython 3.1: Bridging Python and C with Enhanced Features Cython continues to be one of the most powerful tools for integrating C and Python, enabling developers to write C extensions or wrap C libraries for Python applications. The upcoming release of Cython 3.1 is poised to bring exciting new capabilities to the table. With advanced type annotation features and compatibility with Python’s free-threaded or “no-GIL” build, this release is a significant step forward. Developers who want to stay at the cutting edge of Python-C integration should take note. Breaking the GIL: Support for Free-Threaded Python Python 3.13 introduced an…

Harnessing Kotlin Coroutines for Concurrency: A Deeper Dive Managing multiple operations simultaneously is a cornerstone of modern programming, enabling developers to create responsive, efficient applications. However, concurrency can be challenging to master, with various approaches available to handle its complexities. Kotlin, a JVM-based language, has gained widespread acclaim for its ability to seamlessly integrate functional and object-oriented paradigms. Among its standout features is the coroutine system, a robust mechanism for handling concurrency. In this discussion, we’ll explore how Kotlin coroutines simplify concurrent programming. What Are Kotlin Coroutines? At their core, coroutines are an abstraction layer over threads, akin to Java’s…

A Developer’s Gratitude: Celebrating the Pioneers and Innovations in Technology As Thanksgiving approaches in the United States, it feels like the perfect opportunity to reflect on the individuals and innovations that have shaped the software development world. While the holiday traditionally emphasizes family and togetherness, I want to express my gratitude to the people and technologies that have profoundly impacted my career and the industry as a whole. Alan Turing: The Visionary Who Dreamed of Programming Alan Turing’s contributions to the world of computing cannot be overstated. He conceptualized the idea of a general-purpose computer, laying the foundation for all…

JetBrains to Deprecate Certain Kotlin Scripting Features JetBrains has announced plans to phase out several scripting-related technologies in the Kotlin programming language. These include the REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) functionality, an outdated Java scripting API, the KotlinScriptMojo Maven plugin, and the kotlin-scripting-ide-services library for code completion. In a blog post on November 19, JetBrains explained that this decision stems from research indicating that users’ scripting needs are already addressed by alternative, more modern technologies. Key changes include the removal of default REPL implementations from the Kotlin compiler and IntelliJ IDEA plugin. JetBrains noted that while the REPL has served its purpose,…

Anthropic has announced the release of a groundbreaking open-source protocol designed to enable seamless connectivity between AI systems and data sources. Dubbed the Model Context Protocol (MCP), this innovation provides a universal interface for building secure, two-way connections between AI tools and essential data repositories, facilitating interoperability across a diverse range of systems. According to Anthropic’s announcement, MCP addresses a significant challenge in the AI ecosystem: the fragmentation caused by isolated data integrations. “As AI assistants grow more sophisticated and widely adopted, their utility remains hindered by information silos and legacy systems,” the company stated. “Every new data source typically…

Building generative AI systems for enterprise use is far from straightforward. While a simple prototype like a basic ChatGPT model can be spun up in a weekend, production-ready solutions must address complex engineering challenges. These include securing data pipelines across siloed systems, configuring and managing vector databases, selecting appropriate AI models, and implementing robust security controls. On top of that, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards adds another layer of complexity. Development teams often find themselves spending weeks or months addressing these foundational requirements before they can even begin testing or scaling their AI systems. Traditional methods for building AI pipelines…

The rapid evolution of cloud computing has highlighted the challenges of accurately measuring its value to enterprises. While metrics such as cloud units have emerged as tools to simplify cloud economics, they often fall short in practice. Many organizations still lack robust methods for quantifying cloud success, leaving them vulnerable to inefficiencies and misaligned goals. Although cloud units offer some structure, they fail to fully capture the dynamic and unique nature of cloud-driven business models. What Are Cloud Units? Cloud units were introduced as part of the cloud financial operations (finops) framework, aiming to bridge the gap between cloud costs…

Deno Land, the company behind the Deno runtime for JavaScript, has filed a petition with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) seeking to cancel Oracle’s ownership of the JavaScript trademark. The petition contends that Oracle has abandoned the trademark since it has not provided any JavaScript-related goods or services since acquiring the rights from Sun Microsystems in 2009. This move aims to address what many in the developer community see as an outdated claim over a widely used and generic term. The filing, submitted on November 22, follows a broader campaign initiated in September by key figures in…

PHP 8.4.1, the latest update to the widely used server-side scripting language, has officially been released with several key enhancements aimed at improving performance, ease of use, and compliance. One of the most notable features in this release is an updated DOM API, which significantly improves how developers work with HTML5 documents. This update, available on php.net, was released on November 21, and it brings a host of improvements designed to streamline development processes and ensure better compatibility with modern web standards. The new DOM API, now available under the Dom namespace, provides comprehensive support for parsing HTML5 documents. This…
