It would help a bit if the article included at least roughly equivalent Go code next to the Python code. The Go code is wordier, but maybe it takes less time to write because it doesn't require as many decisions (libraries etc.) as with Pyt

Saying it that way makes it sound like a new retirement community. Why not say he would like to live on Mars? Maybe because it's a dead planet and not very livable.

If you want to be conservative about your data, it looks like Datomic is an excellent choice. It preserves the entire history of your data instead of allowing it to be modified in place.

It's not so much that folders are counter-intuitive. The problem with them is that they impose a single, arbitrary structure on files that could be organized in many different ways. For example, you could have folders like AllMyImages/ or A

This is great. Now Haskellers can not only develop in a single language on the browser and server, but it looks like this could make it possible to leverage existing Node.js code on the server side. chrisdone, is there anything more that ne

Not everyone agrees on what it means for a programming language to be proper, and that's unlikely to change.

I liked zsh a lot until I found that it would take a long time to cd into certain directories, I think they were ones with large git repositories. Maybe there's some way to shut that off but I went back to bash where I could be sure things

I bash it not because I don't know how to use it but because I see if being used so often for jobs that would be better done using other techniques.

If you try to do your entire program as pure FP then I guess that is true, but it's often possible and beneficial to do a lot of the work in a functional style. Honestly though, this misses the point. If your language forces you to use an u

If we fail to point out the harmful effects of excessive OO usage then there is a higher likelihood of encountering it as legacy code written by people who didn't know any better. This can lead to wasted time and decreased job satisfaction.

The problem is that OO thinking tends to inflate systems, spreading code all over the place even though it logically belongs in one place and adding object wrappers to things that don't need it. In my experience taking over Python code writ

It is possible in principle to implement one in terms of the other, but in practice this is not what typically happens.

I really like Clojure as a language, but the JVM implementation takes over a second to start. This lack of responsiveness makes it a poor choice for many small scripts that should run quickly. If not for this issue, I would probably use Clo
