Thanks for this--I mentioned finagle to jcoglan on twitter yesterday after I read his blog post, and I don't think he was aware of the similarities. I actually didn't know about futures until I learned about scala and finagle. I watched a t

AFAIK, to use the brightbox packages on heroku you'd have to write a buildpack that either downloads all the dependencies and runs through the same build process that brightbox uses, or use something like heroku-buildpack-fakesu to create a

Unfortunately, Ruby 1.9.x is not copy-on-write friendly, mainly due to the garbage collection strategy. I would venture to guess that most Rails apps these days are running on some version of Ruby in the 1.9 series. So siong1987 is generall

Why has arithmetic become the universal example of currying and partial function application? Examples: "Currying", Section 9.3 of Programming in Scala (addition); Ruby 1.9.3 documentation for Proc#curry http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/
