This makes a lot of sense in combination with Chrome OS. Once we have an OS that's just a browser, we can still run high-performance apps. If I would switch to Chrome OS today, there's quite some things that I'd be missing, and NC can help

La vita è bella (or in English: Life is beautiful). The main character and his son are taken to a concentration camp and still manage to have fun. It shows how we can use our mind to make even the worst situations a little less worse, very

Do you really need him? If not, ditch the guy: it's already hard enough making good decisions with the two of you. It sounds like there's quite a lot of negative energy going on: I would focus that energy on building your product, not on de

I think this is great news for "real" iPhone developers. The good thing about being an ObjC iPhone-developer is that there aren't that many iPhone developers. So if you're producing decent stuff (or better, of course), you'll be in high de

A book that really helped me is Flow by Csikszentmihalyi. You probably can recall a moment (for example, when programming) where you were in a state of flow, you were solving difficult problems (but not too difficult) and everything just we

I've only read Pierce, and it's good. As an alternative, you could look at dependent types if you want to know more about types. Dependent types are like GADTs on steroids. A good place to start is Agda ( http://wiki.portal.chalmers.se/agda

I would be really interested in what he thinks of Haskell once he has written a large program in it. I seriously think he would like it even more.

Coders At Work is a book about a lot of high-profile programmers (Crockford, Knuth, Peyton Jones, Thompson, among others). It's not a biography on any of these people, but it was very inspiring to me.

Are they really using the macid system? I don't believe that. Happstack is nice, but I wouldn't trust my data with Happstack's storage system.

Haskell and the Cocoa Touch framework (sadly, not yet in conjunction). Haskell isn't really new, but it still is the best programming language I've worked with (yes, "best" is personal in this case). I don't think any other language allows

By the way, I would be really interested in Arc's solution to the second program I've shown.

Yes. A lot of the meta-programming is actually programming over the structure. For example, given a Java class, you could generate database code. In Java, this relies heavily on introspection, but you if you're interested in doing this in a

I, as a Haskeller, envy Lispers as well. Metaprogramming is so incredibly easy in Lisp. Oftentimes I can find good solutions in Haskell for things that people would normally do using metaprogramming, but still. And almost always the types r

Yes, we have a lot of English words that aren't really English. Also, we don't have iced tea but we have icetea. In Dutch, it's common to give a product an English name to make it sound more interesting. Also, there's quite some racism/poli

HEMA is Dutch, IKEA is Swedish. Although they share a similar clean design and they both provide quality products for low prices, I don't think they're related at all.

I like The Lawnmower Man a lot too. Stunning graphics and it really captures the spirit of a computer enabling you to do much more cooler things than Real Life.

Whatever language you choose: write a lot of (small?) shell scripts. This is very unix-y and also easy. The composing of those scripts using unix-pipes also will give him a little bit experience with things like modularity. Also, I'd choose

Agda, a dependently typed language. The syntax looks like Haskell, but the types are a lot more sophisticated.
