ECMAScript Harmony, ES 3.1 and 4 join forces and try to get rid of bloat. “This means that classes will be a part of the new language but they will be defined as simply being syntactic sugar for a series of plain methods or conventions (such as using closures and Object.freeze to create a Class-like experience).” Yes!

The Paxos Register, by Harry C. Li, Allen Clement, Amitanand S. Aiyer, and Lorenzo Alvisi. “The Paxos register is a write-once register that exposes two important abstractions for reaching consensus: (i) read and write operations that capture how processes in Paxos protocols propose and decide values and (ii) tokens that capture how these protocols guarantee agreement despite partial failures.”
littleBits is an opensource library of discrete electronic components pre-assembled in tiny circuit boards. Just as Legos allow you to create complex structures with very little engineering knowledge, littleBits are simple, intuitive, space-sensitive blocks that make prototyping with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together.

Intuitionistic mathematics for physics, by Andrej Bauer. “I have little, if anything, original to say, so this seems like an excellent opportunity for a blog post. So let me explain why I think intuitionistic mathematics is good for physics.”
Dolt provides a drop-in replacement for libtool that significantly decreases compile times on the platforms it supports. Rather than the libtool approach of running a large script for every compile that repeatedly figures out how to build libraries on the platform, dolt figures out those details at configure time and writes out a minimal doltcompile script containing only the commands needed to build a library on the current platform.
