Veit’s Blog is a long-running personal site where Veit Heller writes about the craft of programming. Rather than product announcements or news roundups, the archive collects essays and experiment logs that examine how languages, compilers, and tools actually behave when put to work.
Recurring series give the blog its structure. The Simple Sudoku Solvers sequence reimplements the same solver in many languages, from Forth and APL to Racket, SQL, and Smalltalk, making it easy to compare idioms side by side. Other posts cover a hand-written package manager, tracing np.add down the stack, a Futamura projection, and a configuration language called cfg.
Beyond language design, the blog touches on generative art, security practice, on-call work, and the economics of independent projects. This mix reflects a writer interested in the seams between theory and everyday engineering rather than in any single toolchain.
Developers who enjoy reading source-level reasoning, compiler internals, and comparisons of programming paradigms will get the most from the archive. Because posts vary in length and assume familiarity with the languages discussed, browsing by series or by topic tag is more rewarding than reading chronologically.
It works best as a slow-reading resource: pick a series, follow the links between posts, and treat the code samples as starting points for your own experiments.
