This was one of my largest barriers in learning Scala. It seems that one needs to learn Java first because you're going to have to understand how it and Scala interact at some point.

Promises (which aren't limited to JS) are about far more than pretty syntax. Promises and promise combinators give you guarantees about your code, such as "no promise will ever execute both its success and failure callbacks"

I mostly play acoustic instruments now, but I discovered what you were talking about when I used to make electronic music. I'd naively use some heavy compression for loudness, but as I added more parts things would get quite muddled. I

Yeah, I should have read the wikipedia article in full before commenting. I'm glad the war is over!

Reading "compression" as both a programmer and audio-minded person made that first sentence difficult to parse at first. :) But yeah, it's obvious when I have my car stereo nearly on max to listen to classical or jazz, and th

I think that your tone will turn a lot of people off, which is why you've been downvoted (by others), but I think that what you said needs to be heard, especially re: IoT. It's a nightmare waiting to happen.

It's really nice to see a tool like this come out for a statically typed language. When I started learning programming 2 years ago, tools like Light Table and the live editing capabilities of Seaside for Smalltalk were not only a huge

I'd also like to see this comparison. Last year I came close to using React, but picked Knockout because React was fairly immature at the time. I'd like something a bit more "right-weight" and am interested to see what A

Specifically for Node.js, I found NodeSchool to be an amazing resource: http://nodeschool.io/ If you want something specifically about functional programming techniques in JS, this is good: https://leanpub.com&#x

I'm familiar with 12-factor apps, but there are some use cases (usually involving existing / 3rd party software) where it's not really feasible. One thing I like about plain LXC is that you can keep state if you want to. Of c

> Additionally, regarding the observer pattern in my experience that leads to tightly coupled code where you can't always easily trace the line of execution or separate it out later when you need to. That's definitely a danger.

I'm not trying to be pedantic, but the phrase is "passes muster." https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pass_muster But "passes mustard" did give me a pretty funny visual image. :)

Even if generics never come to Go, my hope is that at least common pipelining tasks like merge() will become part of the stdlib and have magical generic support... but I haven't heard anything to indicate that such a thing will happen.

While Go does provide channels, I'd argue that they are not dead simple. I'm not saying this to bash Go, and I have willingly used it to solve problems. But I think it needs to be made more clear that this often-praised aspect of

Yes, when I first read about Flux (which was after I learned RxJS) I kept thinking that you are essentially writing by hand things that could be generated automatically. It's like going from nested callbacks in early Node.js to Go. :)

I think the point being made is that it's not straightforward to synthesize a plausible set of causes and remedies, despite the survey of 21 sources, and that economics as a science needs a bit of self-reflection in the light of this r

I'd agree that the JVM itself isn't so bad in terms of startup time. However, the last time I compared Clojure and Scala, Clojure took significantly longer to start up (even though what I was doing in Clojure was nothing compared

I actually like Clojure quite a bit and used Racket (with How to Design Programs) when I first began my foray into becoming a programmer. Here are a few reasons why I'm more excited about Perl 6 now than I am about Clojure (although I

Here's something that's normally not too fun to deal with in Python and Ruby: asynchronous operations. Perl 6 has promises, C#-style async/await, Go-style channels, and Reactive Extensions-style Supplies built in as first-cla
