I'm not disputing that Clojure's data structures right now are more performant than Scala's or that your project was worthless. I even apologized in case my original post was badly worded. What I wanted to confer was that, you _might_ hav

Why do you think it is a bad idea to differentiate clearly (.com vs. .org) between the business and community aspects of Clojure? I understand biz talk is a bit of a turnoff when primarily interested in the community aspects but I would exp

Is it unreasonable to expect that Scala's persistent collections will work comparably to Closure's when 2.8 final is released?

I did not have the intention of backhanding you or your friend. If my post had the appearance of doing so, I apologize. I just wanted to point out the (for me at least) non obvious fact that the mind behind the theory of Clojure's persisten

scala.collection.immutable is/will not be stable, proven and reviewed?

Yes, 'a lot' is quite relative. :-) From my point of view 200 LoC giving me something I already have is a lot. From the point of view of your friend 200 LoC might be a very small price to pay for a good learning experience.

In my experience it was rare to do more than wrap Java collections to or from an Iterable[] Could you give me a simple example how say filtering and mapping a collection received by a java library and pushing it back to a method expecting

e.g. is SomeCollection<String> a subtype of SomeCollection<Object> (using Java like Syntax)? For some type of collections in some kind of circumstance this might be sensible (e.g. when your collections are immutable), someti

Your friend might be wasting a lot of effort (apart from his personal learning experience), as Phil Bagwell is working on Scala's collection library.

Using implicits is really nice to clean up the interface to some Java APIs (especially for APIs making heavy usage of anonymous inner objects) but I experienced more ugly boilerplate than I would like when having to use Java collection clas

Thats awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'll give Mono/F# another spin in the next week and will report problems as suggested by you. Again thanks.

Note that there is a good open source implementation of the .NET framework, Mono, so you can develop in C# and F# and target Linux, MacOS and other platforms. Is Mono actually usable with F#? The last time I checked (2 months ago) the F#

Ruby is something people learn because they think programming is cool. In my experience this is a myth or a at least a stereotype more prevalent in the marketing of Rails than reality. I had the strong impression during my stint in the Ra

I've been coding in Ruby/Rails for 3 years now, and been active in the community, and I haven't yet done that or encountered anyone who had done that. Than you seem to have had much more luck than I did.

So, why aren’t more people crashing and burning? because: a) You're awesome, as long as you're using Ruby no matter how ridiculous you look when seen without rainbow colored glasses - http://www.infoq.com/presentations/ford-large-rails

Hard to imagine anybody treating developers worse than Apple :-) I only catch glimpses of the MS world when I have to use common libraries originally developed by our Windows experts, whose design decisions often leave me puzzled. I am curi

You see, MS is chock full of shitty architecture. And MS devs learn from MS. Do you have an idea why this is the case? Or the other way around why the architecture of OSS projects seems to be saner? disclaimer: I have no exposure to the M

No, I am not a mental trainer. I am a software developer. It's just that I once studied sports science and I am still very interested in anything coming from that field... especially considering that it is sometimes surprisingly applicable
