   I can definitely recommend using org-mode for tech blogging. With the #+BEGIN_SRC tag you can automatically get an export of code set by the emacs-mode for that language, in addition to markup for other text.

   Bacon/Rx allows you to work with an event stream abstraction, which assigns responsibility quite differently. Bacon is more like excel in the sense that a cell defines /itself/ in terms of other cells A1 = B1 + C1 or in Bacon

   The SQL database (a brilliant, wonderful thing despite the hatred it gets) is an example. When you write a query, you don't tell it which indexes to hit and how to micromanage details. You send a declarative query to this "black box" that,

    It definitely still happens in Visual Studio on Windows 7, not sure about other places. Resharper might change this behaviour, not sure as I don't currently use it. Nothing beats accidentally creating a new class instead of adding an existi

    Also, the definition of an infinite list of ones ones = 1 : ones is a non-function value, but is recursively applied to itself. Might help illustrate why this is a useful notion in Haskell.
