There was a great interview with Bruxe Tate on the "Mostly Erlang" podcast some time last year. He discusses the decision process behind the languages that were included in the original "Seven Languages" book. From what

I was on the rust mailing list for a little while about a year ago. Around that time there was discussion of this exact subject. Most of the discussion was around exactly how to break parameters beyond a certain length and so forth, but it

Came in here to make the same comment. I used to do some work with the author around the time he was writing it. There was much talk about playing Battle Toads in their break room.

That seems like an easy mistake to make from what I remember in reading the origin of Haskell. They had issue with the licensing and cost of Miranda and struck out to build upon it. Here's the original article, "A History of Haske

I can't recommend that book enough. It's extremely well written and approaches advanced concepts in an approachable way. The book is worth the price on the basis of fizzbuzz in lambda calculus alone.

I skimmed through the article expecting to see mention of some of the notable Capcom/Marvel players. I'm still not sure why that wasn't mentioned. A number of those guys (Ricky, Arturo, Justin) were friends of mine back befor

Well balanced in street fighter terms comes down to the saturation of tiers, and how diverse top level play can be. Every fighting game has a high tier, no matter how well balanced they try to make it. The interesting part is how tiers evol

Absolutely. The lack of context prevented me from clicking on the link at all. Thanks for providing a description.

A company I consult with has done a lot of research on Glass users over the past several months. I won't, and can't, share any of those insights, but I can say this: the office still has 40 glass devices sitting in boxes because n

They support phased restart, more in line with how puma does a full reload. This is more useful IMO, provided you have multi threading enabled. With pure process concurrency you have a higher memory overhead though, as the master doesn&#x27

Much of the spec and the lib for the ruby version reads like it was written by a clojurist. That may sound funny, but it was all written by David Chelimsky, a long time rubyist who maintained RSpec. To me the most interesting aspect of the

Perhaps your comment is a reference to something that I don't know about, or a sarcastic quip. However, it is in direct conflict with the substance of the article: "Female giraffes, for example, have been found to form close frien

There was a nice interview with Will Byrd a couple episodes ago on the Cognicast (Cognitect's Podcast). He discussed MiniKanren along with a ton of other work and thoughts. Recommended listening. http://blog.cognitect.com&#x

Ruby certainly has first-class functions. Not only can you pass "functions" around as lambdas or procs, you can also detach and re-atach methods from a class or object at runtime. From the wikipedia: "Specifically, this means

There are plenty of values in a purpose built CSV parser. Several important features, depending on the CSVs you'll be working with are: 1. Sometimes you want to actually write files, in which case you'll want help escaping quoting

# Firefox Sunspider: 182.5ms +/- 4.6% Octane: 21148 # Chrome Sunspider: 206.7ms +/- 1.2% Octane: 24921 I adore Mozilla and use Firefox as my primary browser. As a web developer I hope those benchmarks get tighter.

Perhaps when ClojureScript is self hosted. Right now the compile time, project setup, and overall learning curve is a pretty big barrier.

As @dugmartin mentioned, it's really quite nice if you are using coffeescript. It ends up resembling templating in a lisp, something akin to hiccup for example. I imagine a similar effect can be had with ES6 destructuring assignment, j

It is much simpler to animate between two classes in straight CSS. That's the primary reason I favor the `className` approach.

It's inspiring to see developers willing to port non-trivial C++ projects over to Rust. The more pioneers are willing to lay critical groundwork like this the more promise I see in Rust for the immediate future.

I could have sworn there was a ClojureScript wrapper for D3 that was also called C3. Taking a quick search shows that it is actually called C2[1], from Keming Labs. [1]: http://keminglabs.com/c2/

You don't have to read all of a file into memory in Ruby. There are a number of facilities for reading only a portion of a file, readpartial[1] for example. Additionally, you have access to all of the native pipe[2] functionality as we

It's great to get some infinite stream functionality in JS, but I don't see where this is helping in the realm of concurrency. Were there any particular use cases in mind when it was written, or was it primarily an exercise to pus

Most any post, tutorial or README that includes memes as part of the content loses my respect a little. It instantly dates the content and alienates those who perhaps approach software more seriously. Imagine viewing man pages with embedded

Your hopes shan't be dashed! Destructuring assignment is part of the ES6 specification now: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:destructuring
