This strikes a nerve. I had the good fortune to be able to work with xBase languages (predominantly CA-Clipper) when I began programming. I made software for retail outlets: pos, inventory, accounts, all the jazz. The most memorable thing t

HTML & CSS is a commodity skill, and most of its mundane parts are going to be automated away soon. Either through a design-to-code workflow like what I'm working on now ( https://protoship.io ), or with integrated tools

Yes you're right. I thought Javascript had become the most popular language out there, but TIOBE claims otherwise.

https://pl-rants.net/posts/go-and-ocaml-scalability/ has an interesting take where they found multi-process OCaml performing better than goroutines. I don't know how to interpret those measurements correctly,

The killer app for OCaml is front-end webdev with Reason. Most new large-scale Javascript projects are using gradual typing with TypeScript, and the experience is not the same as having types natively. It gives you the safety and rigidity o

My cursory experience with C# was very pleasant too, and Erik Meijer managed to put in some monads into the language thru LINQ when no one was looking ( https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2024658 ) Java 8 was a joy to work w

From my biased perspective, it could be OCaml thru Reason. The .NET/Microsoft ecosystem is a no-go for a lot of people, and F# doesn't have functors. Being a statically typed language, you don't have something like Ruby'

I for one can't wait for Typed FP to become mainstream as soon as possible. I think the prevalence of scripting languages in large systems today is a quirk of history. In early 2000s, as the web was growing to be an application deliver

That'll be a great addition to the book. Can I also recommend Yaron Minsky's talk on OCaml, specifically the part where he talks about "making invalid states impossible": https://youtu.be/-J8YyfrSwTk?t=10
