I can't praise HtDP enough (disclaimer: I've only done through chapter 4 of the first edition). Still, what I did was sufficient to fundamentally change me as a programmer. When I first began learning how to program I started off

If you edit s-expressions as text then yes, it's horrible. If you edit s-expressions as data structures using something like paredit you'll actually code very quickly, and it'll also be impossible to have unbalanced parens. S

I haven't actually tried using both RxJS and Knockout together, but it's something I'm thinking about doing. It might seem strange to merge these two different approaches, but I'm a fan of MVVM (which KO espouses) and of

I'm quite tired so I might be mistaken here, but autorun reminds me of Knockout's computed properties. function viewModel() { this.observable = ko.observable(); this.updateWhenObsChanged = ko.computed(function() {

The bigger context is this: jamf makes software to help manage fleets of Macs, by providing abilities such as deploying a package to a group of Macs. It's quite good and IIRC Apple uses it for configuration management. If a vendor give

To ensure that the monks aren't heavily disturbed, there are various restrictions on visiting times. Things were slightly easier for me as I was not only making pilgrimage but also visiting a friend of mine who was a novice at Iveron (

This article made me recall my experience when I spent a few days at the monastery of Iveron on Mt. Athos. Briefly, Mt. Athos refers to a mountainous area on a peninsula whose northern border is made fairly inaccessible by mountains; situat

I don't support any downvotes of you, but there are many different types of Christians; this kind of thought is a bit foreign to me as an Orthodox Christian. Consider what St. Isaac of Syria says: "The humble man approaches wild a

Wow, I didn't expect to receive a reply from you! Thanks, I'll check out the Coursera course. I did start reading "Functional Programming in Scala" by Paul Chiusano and Rúnar Bjarnason, but wanted something a bit more be

This looks nice! Can anyone recommend other good resources for Scala beginners? I'm checking out Twitter's Scala School[1] but the disclaimer near the start indicates that it's based on an older Scala version. I'm also u

I'm using postal.js for pubsub in a webapp where I have components that I'd like to reuse but are sometimes used in varying contexts, such that zero, one, or more other components will be interested in that component's action

Going through Pharo By Example, and especially the similar book "Dynamic Web Development with Seaside"[0] (a smalltalk web framework), really helped me to understand many concepts in OOP. Seaside is worth checking out simply for h

I've also had a good experience using Knockout. I used it to add some interactivity to a largely static site, and then expanded its use to create a fairly complex management interface. It's easy to pick up with great interactive t

It seems that there are various interpretations of karma. Dogen, founder of the Soto Zen school, taught that karma can be experienced in this same life. I swear I've read far earlier sources discuss karma in a manner outside of rebirth

When I first started writing perl professionally, I kept trying to write things in a lispy functional style, which only made a mess. While it's true that There Is More Than One Way To Do It, there's still such a thing as "per

If you planned on using objects, you can consider using Moo for roles to allow composition, and combining it with Types::Tiny for type validation. There's also Params::Validate for plain functions. The validation is unfortunately at ru

Oh, I'm a big fan of Haskell! It's definitely a language worth learning. However, if you want a pretty nice but still "dynamic feeling" (as opposed to Java-ish) object system, Perl 6 has you covered there. I'd look

I can't seem to reply to chromatic, but my point here was to address one of the parent post's specific criticisms, that of being "modern". At least here on HN, rising languages such as Go, Scala, Elixir, and Clojure offe

I wrote the above snippet, but it was basically just one step beyond what Curtis Ovid Poe shows in his "Perl 6 For Mere Mortals" presentation. My intention wasn't to make people say "wow, I know Perl 5 but now I'll

I'm not sure about any current Perl6 vs other language benchmarks; older benchmarks aren't terribly useful because within the past year MoarVM both became the dominant P6 VM and also received substantial performance optimizations.

Modern scripting languages with... parametric polymorphism, built-in parallelism/concurrency, grammars, constraint-based multiple dispatch, etc.? Yes, it will be very important to build up a Perl 6 community and an ecosystem of librari

This talk does a good job of showing how Perl 6 lets you gradually enhance your programs using features like types, subtypes, and multimethods. Here's a functional, memoized version of fib that uses those three features: subset Non
