One nuance you might have failed to capture in your characterization of the article is that a lot of the cost is high when the subject is a beginner on the technique. The point is that as you gain mastery it becomes easier, thus encouraging

I wonder if Tim Sweeney's research on lambda-aleph, a dependently typed language, is reflected on Unreal Engine somewhere. http://www.leafpetersen.com/leaf/publications/dtp2013/lambda...

I've tried that in the past. Even if modules aren't tightly coupled, deployment is, so different teams need to synchronize at deployment time. Resource isolation is also a big problem, if a module update introduces a performance b

The new value proposition is reminiscent of DabbleDB, which was a groundbreaking product that didn't seem to get enough traction to sustain a business. Is this comparison apt? Any ideas on why Eve has a better chance of succeeding?

The interview would've probably been a lot more fruitful if questions centered around what he knows about the surveillance capabilities of the agencies he was involved with, in technical detail, than asking for his opinions on technolo

Like the writing style and the detailed play-by-play traces. A small tweak that would help to make it easier to read would be to visually highlight what changed from one memory snapshot to the next.

Not often I can read an essay that leaves me at the same time so excited and so disappointed. Excited because I found myself agreeing with every point: isn't it obvious to everyone that the programming experience could be so much bette

To be fair to the original article, the author does point out isolation is helpful 'when you are focused on a task': "As for flow, it works best when there is a specific, narrowly scoped piece of code that must be written. Fo

At first glance, the intent seems quite similar to Google's Polymer project. Hopefully they will interoperate.

Pretty cool project, like a functional reinterpretation of dependency injection frameworks. The basic idea behind dependency injection is to make all dependencies for each unit explicit and externally supplied. DI frameworks then build upon

The discussion on the original article is in the context of basing Http 2 on SPDY. In other words, the very community-lead process you say does not exist.

The post starts out sending a disgruntled-employee vibe, but it improves later on. The OP conjectures about how an organization becomes more heavily political than the rest of a company are pretty interesting.

It is probably true that, even with a cross-compilation strategy, if Dart doesn't get adopted by competing browser vendors it will be a force towards fragmentation, which tends to be bad for the web. An interesting question to consider, IMO

This point might be valid in general, but it can't apply to programming languages. There is no way to do language design in a committee (one might have a shot at enhancing an existing language, but it's difficult).

I wonder why they're pursuing a proper extension of Scala. Odersky is working with a group in Stanford to make the language even more extensible, in order to enable parallel 'languages' to be implemented as domain specific languages (i.e. a

Peter Van Roy's book defines it as "an execution is called nondeterministic if there is an execution state in which there is a choice of what to do next". I believe the only thing you mention that does not conform to this definition is co-r

Your distinction appeals to physicality, to a "real world". The author comes from a purer mathematical perspective, where it does not matter whether the code runs on silicon, is emulated by another machine, or is evaluated by humans on a bl

Wondering how Knockout data binding compares to Flapjax. I find the idea of bringing FRP to the browser promising, but Flapjax' choice of either a js preprocessor or a cumbersome API put me off.
