An article comparing Rust and Zig in a situation where Rust would require lots of unsafe code. The article uses a bytecode interpreter to compare the two.

# Pandas Illustrated: The Definitive Visual Guide to Pandas

An article comparing what Pandas has to offer and how it compares with using plain Numpy.

# nvim-spectre

A search and replace pane plugin for Neovim.

# Modular Errors in Rust

An article on how to implement useful errors in Rust.
