The Only Two Markup Languages - gingerBill

www.gingerbill.org/article/2026/01/19/two-families-of-markup-languages

The title is a bit misleading, there are of course more than two markup languages. The author says that only TeX and SGML families are proper arbitrary markup languages. Lightweight markups are not arbitrary, structured languages like YAML are not markups.

A bare-minimum ActivityPub server from scratch

grishka.me/blog/activitypub-from-scratch

This is a translation of the article I originally wrote in Russian a year ago.
Lately, after Elon Musk bought Twitter, people have started looking for its alternatives – and many found one in Mastodon.
Mastodon is a decentralized social media platform that works on the federation model, like email. The federation protocol is called ActivityPub and is a W3C standard, and Mastodon is far from being its only implementation, albeit it is the most popular one.

Always Optimize for Junior Devs

blog.pwkf.org/2022/09/18/always-optimize-for-dummies.html
