No, it is a bespoke tool and the layout algorithm is specifically designed for control flow graphs. There is no description language or whatever.

Oh also I forgot to post my jam project here on Bluesky - here's Buongiorno, my tool for mapping out mDNS and DNS-SD services. It captures mDNS packets to show a graph of services being requested and advertised, e.g. printers, AirPlay, Handoff, and more.

X-Ray Jam
A jam to find out how software works on the inside. June 9 - 15 on the Handmade Network.
The X-Ray Jam is complete! I had a great time and we have 10 lovely submissions you can look through: handmade.network/jam/x-ray-2025
We're planning a recap live show in the near future, so stay tuned for that.

Behold! A list of mDNS services in my house. (This is basically just the output of `avahi-browse`, so nothing too novel yet.)

The DNS-SD spec with the following highlighted: “a web server typically has multiple pages”
The things you learn from reading specs

Highlighted printouts of mDNS-related articles and specs.
The X-Ray Jam is underway (handmade.network/jam/x-ray-2025) and I am exploring mDNS.
First step: testing if mDNS works on my printer. It does.

I'm tackling mDNS, hopefully making a tool that maps out the state of all my network devices so I can see why devices only seem to show up like 60% of the time 😃

This is for a WASM record/replay tool I'm building for work. It instruments arbitrary WASM modules to record specific function calls to a log, then can recreate the module state to replay them.

"Very stupid RLE", where runs of zeroes are collapsed but individual letters are spaced out by four bytes each
"Slightly smarter RLE", where long runs of unique characters are contiguous
I have started to go down the compression rabbit hole. The compressor and decompressor are handwritten WASM.
Uncompressed: 52MB
Very stupid RLE: 182KB
Slightly smarter RLE: 65KB

Tweet from Fabian Giesen (@rygorous):
look, I'm sorry, but the rule is simple:
if you made something 2x faster, you might have done something smart
if you made something 100x faster, you definitely just stopped doing something stupid

Spreadsheet showing results from a Flutter benchmark, showcasing a 15%+ performance improvement.
Sometimes you spend weeks on a performance optimization to get 0.5% faster. Other times you spend a day tweaking your GC code and get 15%+ faster.

How does a web dev become a CPU engineer? // Unwind Ep. 8
We're doing a Handmade podcast again!
Our first episode of 2025 is an interview with aolo2, a web dev turned CPU engineer, about several apps he has made from scratch: a collaborative whiteboard, a Handmade Slack alternative, and a CPU trace viewer.

File Pilot - Next-gen file explorer
File Pilot is a file explorer built from scratch for light-speed performance, with a modern and robust interface.
A file explorer called File Pilot just released in open beta yesterday: filepilot.tech
It is so insanely fast that it makes you question how all other software is developed. The Handmade community does good work.

The point of my post was that optimizations to Memory64 will NEVER be able to fully eliminate bounds checks the same way we can for 32-bit wasm.
