This week, Sammy and Aljoscha finally reach the limits of generics in Rust (and detail their defeat). In part 6 of 'Why is it called worm-blossom', Cinnamon looks critically at SSB. And in the comic, BLOSSOQUEST resumes!]]> https://worm-blossom.org/#y2026w9 Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://worm-blossom.org/#y2026w10 “is there a homomorphism from your opinions to our opinions?”

This week, Aljoscha has been mingling. Sammy has been working on persistent stores and thinking about phrasing. We also got lots of help! And in the comic, a mysterious stranger is asking questions.]]> https://worm-blossom.org/#y2026w10 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://worm-blossom.org/#y2026w11 “does that satisfy your little platonic heart?”

This week, Aljoscha talks about repetition. Sammy ponders a 'cultural API'. Aljoscha talks about repetition. And in the comic, we find the bottleneck.]]> https://worm-blossom.org/#y2026w11 Fri, 13 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://worm-blossom.org/#y2026w12 “very organic, shaped by psychopathologies”

This week, Sammy reports on giving a seminar at XPUB. Aljoscha has too many ideas. Both have been busy coding, and there is a Bab release to show for it. And in the comic, the mysterious stranger makes mysterious demands.]]> https://worm-blossom.org/#y2026w12 Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://worm-blossom.org/#y2026w13 “it is working — in reverse”

This week, Aljoscha thinks about confidentiality and statelessness. Sammy did another talk this week, and teases a new project. And finally: a comic for honest, hard-working readers.]]> https://worm-blossom.org/#y2026w13 Fri, 27 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://worm-blossom.org/#y2026w14 “you say beep, we say boop”

This week, Sammy and Aljoscha have returned from Prague and are still recovering.

This week, Aljoscha and Sammy start processing the Prague gathering. In part 7 of 'Why is it called worm-blossom', Aljoscha enters the story. And in the comic, he learns that no good deed goes unpunished. No wait, that is what he learned when reading the comic. It is confusing being a comic character.]]> https://worm-blossom.org/#y2026w15 Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://worm-blossom.org/#y2026w16 “you started reading William Blake, it is time to seek help”

This week, we present the alpha release of persistent storage for willow-rs. Sammy reports from Prague, Aljoscha stays silent. Blossoquest is going somewhere good. And Blake is more than just a hash function.]]> https://worm-blossom.org/#y2026w16 Fri, 17 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT
