Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Effect v4 beta, a TypeScript framework for building applications, features a complete rewrite of its core fiber runtime, offering reduced memory usage and smaller bundle sizes. The new release consolidates ecosystem packages under a single version number and introduces unstable modules for rapid feature development. Migration guides are available for users transitioning from v3 to v4.

The C++26 standard draft is now complete, reports Herb Sutter, long-time C++ expert and former chair of the ISO C++ standards committee. The finalized draft introduces reflection, enhances memory safety without requiring code rewrites, adds contracts with preconditions and postconditions alongside a new assertion statement, and establishes a unified framework for concurrency and parallelism.

Meta introduces Just-in-Time (JiT) testing, a dynamic approach that generates tests during code review instead of relying on static test suites. The system improves bug detection by ~4x in AI-assisted development using LLMs, mutation testing, and intent-aware workflows like Dodgy Diff. It reflects a shift toward change-aware, AI-driven software testing in agentic development environments
