Some hardware design tricks are absolutely brilliant. Carry-select adder, a module which computes sums of higher bits for both cases, with carry-out and without it. Then, the already computed correct result is picked via a simple multiplexer. A tad redundant, but since more

I remember Limbo starting out as a moonshot pet project by Pekka Enberg, so nice to see it become the new Turso 🥹

"bring your own IO" is a great approach to async, and a perfect fit with deterministic testing (I bet it was directly inspired by TigerBeetle). Rust promised (pun intended) a similar approach, but ended up in a very sad state. I hope it works out well for Zig, I'll try it out

Finally, a major breakthrough in reverse engineering my sauna control box! One cheap logic analyzer and ripped open RJ-45 cable later, I detected Baud rate 9523 on one of the channels. That's awfully close to 9600, which strongly suggests UART. Next mission: click buttons and
