What you say is true on the JVM. However , it is important to note that this does not need to be that way. One could imagine having the higher level loops and still debug them. Of course, if you're writing actual code, now -- what I&#

As programmers, we often confuse the means with the ends. We tend to over-emphasise the way in which code is written and we tend to forget about whether the code is doing the right thing. That being said, I love map/filter/flatMap

You're assuming that you know what 'the point' is. You don't, because it doesn't exist.

I'm watching your link now. That's sad: the oldest son stopped asking about going to school alone.

I saw the title and thought: "holy shit!". Then I saw that it's from the daily mail and knew it wouldn't be true.

That's the price journals ask to make a paper open access. Edit: oh my, three+ comments at the same time.

Almost per definition, most of the damage done is the public reaction. In that sense, the US is affected much more than countries who have been targeted much more recently.

I went back to (non-native) emacs, partially due to this problem.

These are role models that I personally very much agree with. At the same time, the industry has need for relatively few people like them. Of course, if every programmer would magically turn into them, that'd be great. But no one turns

I don't think that reading about stuff online leads to knowledge, just like repeating writing the same boring CRUD app over and over again won't make you a much better programmer. > As a field we are way behind most other field

I agree with what you say, but it seems obvious to me. On the other hand, what gets overlooked, IMO, is the "other stuff". Humanities, law, business, biology, take your pick! When faced with a problem, a programmer is always looki
