#021 -- Building a Stack-Based Virtual Machine in Rust
How we built FLIN's stack-based virtual machine in Rust: execution loop, value types, and call frames.
#035 -- Pattern Matching: From Switch to Match
How we designed FLIN's pattern matching -- from simple value matching to exhaustive checking on tagged unions, and the Rust implementation that powers it all.
#036 -- Tagged Unions and Algebraic Data Types
How we brought algebraic data types to FLIN -- generic enums with associated data, Option<T>, Result<T, E>, and the Rust implementation of tagged unions.
#006 -- Why We Chose Rust to Build a Programming Language
Why Juste A. GNIMAVO and Claude chose Rust to build the FLIN programming language compiler from Abidjan.
#011 -- Session 1: Project Setup and 42 Keywords
Session 1 of building FLIN: project setup, 42 keywords, 60+ token types, and the first lines of a language compiler.
#007 -- Writing Apps Like It's 1995 With the Power of 2026
FLIN brings back the simplicity of 1995 web development with the power of a 2026 compiler, VM, and database.
#009 -- The Roadmap to FLIN v1.0
The FLIN v1.0 roadmap: 3,452 tests pass, 409 built-in functions, and what remains before stable release.
#010 -- Building a Programming Language From Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire
How Juste A. GNIMAVO built the FLIN programming language from Abidjan with AI CTO Claude and a $200/month budget.
#025 -- The Complete FLIN Opcode Reference
The complete FLIN opcode reference: arithmetic, control flow, entity, view, and closure instructions.
#028 -- The Reactivity Engine: How FLIN Makes Everything Reactive
FLIN's reactivity engine: automatic dependency tracking, SSE-based updates, and incremental DOM rendering.
#029 -- The First Browser Render: When FLIN Met the DOM
The first time FLIN rendered in the browser: compiling bytecode to HTML, the milestone of Session 26.
#030 -- Parallel Agents in the FLIN Runtime
FLIN's parallel agent system: concurrent execution, message passing, and the agent-based runtime model.
