Anyone still remember VRML? The attempt to bring 3D graphics to web browsers in 1997? Netscape browsers supported VRML and you could actually view 3D models in it, written in XML.

A programmer views "a year late" as, makeing him do more work than he was contacted to do. House construction doesn't work that way. You hand over a detail plan diagram and the contructor develops exactly that. One doesn't break down half t

I don't know why it's happening. But even though I hear a lot on how JIT can be faster than pre-compiled apps and how hight level languages (Java) can create more efficient code than low level languages (C) ---- I still am seeing C outperfo

Yeah! I read it. It was one of my favourate series of all time. Things are exactly as how you have described. I hated the robot series. But Foundation trilogy was a classic!

Good. Only thing missing in Clojure seems OOP. But I can live without that. Hope Clojure doesn't push the FP thing too far. Pure functional languages are evil. In broad sense, pure anything in evil. Look what Java turned into trying to be a

In Lisp one has the freedom to code in Structured Programming, OOP, AOP, FP, meta programming, or create his own DSL. Does the same stand true for Clojure? I am thinking about switching. Only risk is that if it doesn't work, I can't port th

<?= isn't 'safe' This is a web app for God's sake. You have full control on what your php.ini have. Which one is more complex? Install a templating language? or ensure your short-tags=On (or whatever that is) in your php.ini. And if y

Well, here is what I would write: Smarty: {$firstName} vs PHP: <?=h($firstName)?> And, loops? Your: {loop} vs PHP's loop: <?while(loop()){?> Of course you have to define function h() and loop() somewhere. Just don't do it in

Don't want to inline code? Well don't inline code. No second templating engine can reduce complexting any more than using PHP directly as a templating language. PHP was built as a templating engine from day 1. There is a reason why php scri
