To be fair, you can do this in java by adding to Header and MIMEHeader " implements emailHeader ". Structuring typing seems simpler. Are there any downsides? (apart from two types having an identical method signature by coincidence)

Legislation has some similarities to source commits, in that many Acts amend other Acts. Something like: section 3: amend section 4(i) of the so-and-so Act 1958, replacing each occurrence of word A with word B. It would be nice to store t

I now use bash instead of ant. It's really fast, makes sense, does whatever I want. But it has the lisp problem (and now ruby problem) of everyone making their own tooling, without standardisation. (where a "standard" is procrustean: it doe

I think dynamic typing is better for explorative programming, for getting something working quickly, and then you iterate. Static typing requires a little more upfront design - i.e. understanding what you're doing before you start. I've th
