Yeah, what kind of steak sandwich would only have 459 calories? I wouldn't expect any reasonably sized and palatable steak sandwich to pack less than 800!

The author holds up Yesod's low adoption rates (compared to what? Ruby on Rails? Ruby was arguably Flub a few years ago, and Yesod is much younger than Rails) as an example of how powerful programming languages aren't making as bi

But if anyone was wondering "Can I do Actor Model / Microservices in Haskell" the answer is yes.

What drives me crazy is spreadsheets as a reporting / BI tool. Just because Excel does graphs and charts, and everyone knows how to use Excel, the result is that everyone only knows how to make graphs and charts in Excel.

If they already learned imperative language concepts, sure it's discouraging because people who know things don't like to go back to being beginners again. But if they're completely starting from scratch, I'm not convinc

Of course the problem is, if you're passing a pointer to a data structure to a function, the function doesn't know the size of the data structure unless you pass that as another argument.

POJO just means a class that doesn't extend a framework class or have framework annotations. The opposite of a POJO would be something like an Enterprise Java Bean or a Persistence Entity--which are configured via XML to subvert the ty

Because they're false signals. These are low status males faking high status, and you just can't fake your way through a long term relationship.

The nice thing about JavaScript is that you have first-class functions that are closures, so you don't have to do OOP at all if you don't want to. And your objects don't have to define methods because you can just define func

Functional languages support this view, with powerful features like Haskell's typeclasses and Clojure's protocols and multimethods. It really boils down to the expression problem. If you imagine a grid of implementations where row

One of my favorite long-form blog posts about OOP[1] explains why data type inheritance is generally quite useful, but the entire concept of inheritance has been unfairly maligned because in OOP languages, inheritance of data types is tied

LastPass's Chrome (and Firefox and IE) extension is a big part of their product and they definitely have some revenue.

Angular is helpful because it promotes things like loose-coupling, dependency injection, modularity, re-use and the factory pattern. Modularity and code re-use are like apple pie and motherhood. The real question is, do you need dependenc

Lately I've been helping to maintain a sizeable open source app that someone else wrote in Mithril with MSX: https://github.com/ScienceCommons/www and I have to agree that the learning curve has been very gentle.

ng-if, ng-switch, ng-repeat? There's already a language in the browser that does these things, it's called JavaScript. Why do you even need dependency injection and singleton services and factories in a dynamic language with closu

Exactly, recruiters are not cool, so when they are asking for a particular framework that is the strongest sign that the framework isn't cool anymore. It's just like when your parents start listening to your (former) favorite musi

Only if you feel that Angular itself was a mistake. I do, primarily because it's yet another attempt in a long history of misguided attempts to bestow Turing completeness on XML.

Oh ok, well then I guess it's just Google's fault.

by kyllo 11y ago
The problem is, it's our fault that recruiters are now asking for Angular, because we sold our employers on Angular and built their apps in Angular. Now that Angular is mainstream and has fallen out of fashion, they need to hire mo

Agreed. I am a supervisor at work, so I do hiring. I would not be turned off to a candidate because of a blog post like this, I would see it as a sign of maturity rather. But I also work at a company where 40 hour weeks are the norm.

It's up to the programmer to decide what code/data is trusted and untrusted. So you wouldn't `eval` any S-expressions that could be submitted by a user. It's really no different in terms of security implications than any

As a counterexample, Yesod (A Rails-like web framework for Haskell) uses (very appropriate IMO) external DSLs for defining URL routing and the data model. These are not runtime config, they are parsed into Haskell code, typechecked and com

Is there some .NET platform / interop issue that requires F# to have null references? SML and OCaml have Option types and Haskell has the Maybe Monad. It seems weird that F#, being an ML-family language, requires checking for reference

Standardized processes defined by committee like CMMI-ACQ and ISO12207 are pretty much the exact opposite of Agile, so, yeah.

You don't tell them better ways to do their jobs, you tell them what they want to hear and provide political cover for them to do what they wanted to do anyway. If you're a CEO and you want to make a change, consultants will sell

Purity is also not the same as immutability. Clojure has immutable data and impure functions, and it also offers good, safe concurrency features. Purity helps with other things as the parent comment mentioned, but it's not necessarily
