The Arduino utilizes the millis() function to count the elapsed t | Sep 29 13:18 |

| schestowitz | <p>I wanted to write a fun little experimental ActivityPub server. I have a solid idea how to handle this in go, or at least I think I do, so that’d be pretty boring. Instead, let’s try a new technology. </p> | Sep 29 13:35 |
| schestowitz | <p> I settled on swift, a general-purpose programming language built using a modern approach to safety, performance, and software design patterns, to create the best available language for uses ranging from systems programming, to mobile and desktop apps, scaling up to cloud services. </p> | Sep 29 13:35 |
