Mutant is an open-source, cross-platform, compiled, garbage collected, encrypted programming language that wants to make secure programming and security research more accessible. The target audience for mutant is students, security researchers, and reverse engineers. The aim is to provide an accessible, secure system for programming & security research. And it...
Writing conditional expressions is pretty easy to do. But there is room for improvement in the way we have been doing it. And with the flexibility that JavaScript provides, we can replace conditionals with clean code by using some good practices. And it can lead to more maintainable code. Let...
The introduction of type hinting opened the gates for many great new features in Python. And data validation and parsing became easier to do with the use of type hints. Pydantic is one such package that enforces type hints at runtime. It throws errors, allowing developers to catch invalid data....
Every now and then, you come across a JavaScript feature that vastly changes the way you write it. Destructuring, arrow functions, modules have been some of those features for me. Optional chaining is going to be the next one on that list for me. Optional Chaining is in stage 4...
With the introduction of type hinting in Python 3.5, static typing and checking Python codes has started to gain popularity. While MyPy was the first tool to do static type checking of Python code, many other frameworks have been built after it. Pyright is one such tool built by Microsoft...
As we discussed in our post on getting started with Pytest, the framework allows us to reuse tests by using test fixtures and parameterized functions. In this post, we will learn how to do so. We will build on the simple calculator example that we discussed in the previous post...
Testing our code brings in a variety of benefits, including building confidence in the code’s functioning and having lesser regressions. Writing and maintaining tests requires some additional work, and that is why we want to leverage tools as much as we can. Python does provide inbuilt tools such as unittest...
The process to format a number as currency can be a tedious task. It feels like a small task, but the number of lines and the edge cases can keep on increasing when considering factors such as internationalization and different formatting standards. Luckily, ES2015 introduced an internationalization API which can...
