The language should poll all the time since it has great numbers (performance). Event based is for liberals.

One thing I like about Elm over the plethora of Javascript converters is that it is its own language devoted to one runtime (js) and a very different language than most (syntax wise). The same goes for Coffeescript as well.. for the most pa

I never really gave it that much thought but I guess we use extensive category theory as well in our code base via RxJava and our own functional abstractions. IMO modern Java both code and design really has been going in that direction for

I think you understand this but its more than just handling large datasets memory friendly. True streaming would allow you to keep your connection pool happy. If you stream a large dataset you have to keep the connection open (lets say for

Well with out extensively using your library I can only guess a couples of things must be true for not needing maintenance: * Your library has a very limited set of capabilities * Your library is not extensively tested on all supported data

I too wrote my own crappy (anti)ORM-like library a few years back as well https://github.com/agentgt/jirm . The most notably difference from other libraries was focusing on immutable objects and embracing real SQL (not

They are not the same and probably many modern ORM's share more in common with jOOQ than Torgue has in common with jOOQ. An example would be schema generation. jOOQ is reverse schema based. You make your schema with whatever schema evo

I'm almost positive we have worked together (your handle stuck out... percussion?)... I agree the extension/validation parts of XML are not well understood (DTD, entity references, namespaces) but in general rarely used or needed.

Its funny (and ironic to me given the topic) you mention Netscape and Apache. One of my first jobs out of college was rewriting an old LiveWire application (yes ... the original server side Javascript) to a JSP Tomcat application.

I didn't mean for that to be an interpretation of trashing YAML. The YAML format is more complex to parse and there are less parsers available. It is an easier to read format for sure but that comes at a cost. There are lots of good th

While I think we are on the same page (I did say XML has strength and weaknesses) I think XML is undervalued for a configuration language particularly if the configuration language is to be modified by another application or script. The rea

A couple of things I don't like about clothing startups is that they don't go after my demographic that has a problem, the cost of the products are way too high and they have an assumption that people have fashion sense. For examp

I don't disagree it was a bad idea to do the rewrite but rather the company (Netscape) was on a downward spiral regardless (it didn't help but I don't think it was the sole reason).

I agree but XML the language with out namespaces or schemas is still useful. Schema like technology are surprisingly hard to implement and very similar to writing a type checker. Most human readable formats do not support any sort of valida

Now in 2015 we have XML prejudice and aversion where people trash XML as the worse possible format. As with many things it has its strength and weaknesses a couple of them being that a parser exists for almost all programming languages and

Yes but that is because you are a mathematician (or at least appear to be so). Private math can be done in so many places. I'm not criticizing as I would do the same with coding (and is how I started my own company). However I would sa

Sort of joking but what do you think happens in the private world with banks, hedge funds and other large financial institution/collectors. It seems wherever there is a lot of power/money there is a good ole boys club.

WURFL did a very similar thing as well and it felt pretty disingenuous. Consequently we ended up switching to 51Degrees. I personally don't like the OSS bait and switch tactic either. I prefer when companies offer other products, exten
