🧬 GLP-1 Drugs Show Major Survival Benefit in Colon Cancer
This study highlights how popular metabolic drugs could reshape cancer care research, opening new avenues for therapeutic exploration in oncology.
Researchers at UC San Diego discovered that colon cancer patients using GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro experienced less than half the five-year mortality rate compared to non-users. Drawing from data on over 6,800 individuals, the study suggests these drugs may offer protective metabolic and anti-inflammatory benefits beyond their known effects on blood sugar and weight control.

🧩 PolySubML Is Broken: Lessons in Type System Design
A fascinating deep dive into type theory, exposing the fine balance between expressive language design and theoretical rigor.
The creator of PolySubML, a language extending Algebraic Subtyping with polymorphic types, reports a core theoretical flaw: combining polymorphic and recursive types breaks the ‘writable types’ property, making some inferred types impossible to express explicitly. The post analyzes this issue in depth and suggests dropping structural subtyping for polymorphic types in future designs.

🪄 Mergiraf: Syntax-Aware Merging for Git
An impressive advance in version control tooling—combining parsing intelligence with efficient algorithms to ease collaboration on large codebases.
Mergiraf introduces a syntax-aware approach to Git merging, leveraging tree-sitter parsing to merge code via syntax trees instead of raw lines. Implemented in Rust and compatible with over 30 languages, it can automatically resolve many conflicts, preserving semantic correctness while saving developers substantial time.
