   I just wanted to say thanks for posting the link to Terra. I hadn't heard about it before. I'm a big fan of Lua so it looks really interesting.

   I think there was an episode of Numb3rs that was based on this. Maybe Season 1 episode 4 (Structural Corruption)? It was fun to see the premise turn up in the show and go, oh, I think I know where they got this idea from.

   Even though I found the Ruby/OOP part of the course less interesting than the ML/Scheme parts, I feel like it gave me a much better understanding of OOP. Actually the optional piece where he went through a derivation of OOP at the

    I'd actually enjoy that :) However, I first really understood objects from learning how to create them from closures in Scheme. And I'm not sure how many object systems built from array reference hacks in Tcl I've looked at.

    I posted this article. I believe that the author, Matt Might is a professor specializing in programming language theory at the University of Utah. My understanding of this article was that it was less of a tutorial and more of an analysis o

    I think that it's stable, testing and unstable in order of stability to instability. Stable is guaranteed long term support. Testing generally has had a week of testing to ensure no obvious catastrophic errors, and unstable is basica

    I think this is a fairly insightful analysis. Haskell seems to be semantically very dense - each symbol or function packs a lot of meaning. Reading Haskell for me is like when I had to do math proofs in Real Analysis or Abstract Algebra - i

    This is probably the game that had the most impact on my interest in computers as a kid. I think all we had access to were cracked versions in Juneau, Alaska where I grew up (I remember it as a "Black Bag Crack"), so I don't

    Perl has always been in the bundle - at least as long as I've been using it. I used to use it as an easy way to get a Perl installation on windows that didn't need to use the registry. I remember one of the Apache Friends guys hel

    I find Hal Abelson's book Turtle Geometry [1] fascinating. It describes a dialect of Logo (the graphical routines could probably be implemented relatively easily in Python/Tkinter or Tcl/Tk or something like Processing). Once the basics are

    My sense from looking at this same question before (although not doing anything, so this is just impression not experience) is that Gambit is being used more for embedded uses like what you are describing. I've been interested in Gambit bec

    I'm not sure if he's trolling or not either. But since he wrote the original "Apple Writer", (see http://www.arachnoid.com/administration/index.html ) It seems likely that he knows something about the tools of a professional programmer.
