OTOH you can measure the technical limitation and then go around it in hours. That's a lot easier than struggling against social limitation for years (as w/ CL).

Smart conclusions. I'd add to the Lisp-vs-release-management problem: The "I live inside the image" approach discourages delivering stable tested code changes, as it's quite hard to isolate them. I agree using a REPL is great for prototypin

Last time I checked Weblocks it had an outdated documentation (as the original author left the project) and new developers were adding new super-cool stuff in such way that using it actually involved becoming a dev on the project. Few years

The tool is quite old still it's delightful to use when you must do something in SQL, esp. on multiple sessions. Cool feature is that it has database dump command which outputs data sexps.

Yeah of course decent amount of good quality libs is crucial for learning, because you can see how idiomatic code is written. For me, Clojure has enough. YMMV.

I'd say something a bit different that most responses, well I guess it's worth taking your time. Choose language which seems most natural to think in. It's really important. For example, many people just don't have that wires in brain whi

Your last thought is quite opinionated. The other approach is to write the actual code (in whatever you want) instead of blogging ;P

Yeah I considered it but Selenium uses Firefox, does it? And I needed a self-contained script without such dependencies.

One niche for Perl is it's omnipresence in most commercial Unices, even if as ancient as 5.0005. I recall many cases at work when we had to use what's on the box and we were restricted by some funny policies to not to install/use any third-

Mechanize for Perl & Ruby is quite cool. However, it's not able to execute JavaScript. The only lib I found which does so with a reasonable subset of JS is HttpUnit, in Java. Though it has kind of ugly interface IMO, I use it with a suc

If Go people succeeded with taking over some C area, that would be the direction right enough, don't you think? Simply because Go seems a bit better than C. I'd love to see some modern SML or Haskell taking over the area of code compiled to

Erm, do people want to use VB for programming libraries and core system tools? (I thought we're talking about such case, as Go authors clearly stated that's their target). Go competes rather with C/C++ than with VB or any Lisp. C'mon guys,

You are missing the point. Replace vi & grep with your most used dlls.

OTOH the Go authors made it clear that it's intended to replace C for the basic system programs & libs. I think that's step in the right direction. I started to earn money using Erlang & Clojure, so looks like I'm not only fan of ne

You are right with the notepad near the bed. Slight modification: I practice a certain kind of meditation. It has side effect that many things, including hacking solutions, come to mind during a session. I use a notepad to quickly scratch o

Emacs. Kudos to an univ professor who made jokes of anyone who was not using it. He used to say we'll be using emacs for decades if we really invest some time learning it. He was right. A REPL for any language used atm. Cool if coupled with

I understand your concerns as I did a 'big quit' last year. Now I'd like to have a following point, assuming you live in the US: You are very lucky as your country makes it very easy to grow your own business. I live in the EU in some post-
