🧩 Copy-and-Patch: Inside the Mechanics of Dynamic Code Generation
A fascinating deep dive into compiler internals and JIT design — perfect for engineers interested in low-level code generation and runtime optimization.
An in-depth look at the ‘copy-and-patch’ technique for JIT compilation, showing how Clang flags, relocation macros, and compiler optimizations create precise machine code templates. It explores how calling conventions, dynamic relocations, and register usage shape the generation and patching of compact runtime code segments.

⚡ Three Times Faster with Lazy Imports in Python
A practical exploration of Python’s new lazy import feature — a must-read for developers seeking faster startup times and cleaner import management.
PEP 810 proposes native lazy imports for Python 3.15, enabling modules to load only when first accessed. Benchmarks show up to 3× faster startup for CLI tools, simplifying dependency-heavy projects and improving overall runtime efficiency.
