Thanks for the recommendation. I think I had tried OneNote on iPhone a few months ago and dismissed it because I didn't like how it was laid out or something. I just installed the desktop version and wow, it's really nice.! I part

I'm in a similar position. I've been using evernote for a while , and have a lot of notes in there but I find my usage tapering off recently. Thing is, I'm not sure what to replace it with. There's lots of apps that try

I suspect the Javascript-or-death crowd are a (vocal) minority of web developers. Most will jump at the chance to use whatever language they please in the browser.

I think the lesson here is to not fuck it up in the first place. When inventing the new framework "Foo", call the variable FOO_DEBUG, not FOO_ENV. As you've observed, it's not really possible to go back and fix this kind

The most interesting part of this talk was how many dead-ends they hit in the process, and how those dead-ends basically sunk many of the popular notions of how to improve programming. - Make it like Excel = doesn't pan out - Make it l

I hope so. It's pretty bare at the moment, but it shouldn't take too much to get it to where, say, Go-lang was when people started to adopt it in earnest.

What's your take on Perl6? And do you plan to update the book to cover Perl6 some time in the future?
976.
by s_kilk 11y ago
perl6 has it's own module manager called `panda`, which looks at the modules listed on modules.perl6.org for it's data source. The plan is to eventually have a perl6 CPAN, or something. They'll figure it out.

Long-time Python dev here, recently started picking up Perl (both 5 and 6). As with anything, learning another language will give you insight into how things _could_ be done, and you'll pick up a new perspective on programming. More co

I'm not surprised. The very notion of a "jury of your peers" is fundamentally flawed. Imagine how dumb the average person is. Now realise that half of them are even dumber than that. Now imagine you've got a firing-squad

In my opinion, yes. I had zero perl experience before diving into perl6. I've found it to be a great language with a fun community. As for compelling features, there was a good discussion on this a few days ago, so I'm just going

Same use as in learning any other language. We could very well have asked what was the use in learning Go in 2010, but look how that turned out. Perl6 is currently a very interesting language with a relatively weak module ecosystem. Which i

A few upsides I perceive: - optional, well-integrated gradual typing system. - perl6 is the first mainstream(ish) dynamic language to not suffer from a GIL of some kind. You can do real concurrency and parallelism in perl6. - perl6 is both

I've got to say, perl6 is really, really fun to play with. (and I say this as someone who had not used perl before) So far I've gotten the impression it's made by a bunch of smart, friendly hackers who care about quality in t
