I'm Giacomo

I'm not great at doing end-of-year introspection; but this has been such a fun year and I wanted to share a bit of what I did on the internet

A new Gleam release is right around the corner and it will come with a new feature I absolutely love: label shorthands. It might not be as flashy as other features but I wanted to implement it for the longest time and think it will really help me write better code. Here's what it's all about.

Things I use, because why not?

During my second year of university I followed a course dedicated to object-oriented programming and quickly fell in love with Java. My honeymoon phase with it is long over and I've come to dislike a lot of the ceremonies and self-imposed restrictions that can come with good object-oriented code. So what if the best practices I'm forcing myself to follow were easier to adopt and put into practice?

I love functional programming and getting caught in rabbit holes; the thing I love most, though, is sharing what I learn with my friends. What better way to pester even more people than setting up a personal blog?
