Haskell is very clean and readable. The problem, however, is that its such a departure from imperative languages that you can't bring much of anything you already know over to it. You really do have to forget everything you're l

Middle managers are cannon fodder. They implement the dirty, unpopular things that upper management doesn't want to sully their hands with, and when they're not doing that, they bust out performance metrics to try to show that th

This seems similar to third-party warranty companies. They offer full coverage for low amounts, but when the time comes for them to pay up, they're impossible to deal with. Can't reach them on the phone, they need things to be f

Fortran is coming up to speed pretty quickly. The 2003 and 2008 updates to it are pretty nice. In fact, I'm in the process of porting the nanomsg sockets library over to it. You can even use GTK3 and Glade to make GUIs for it now, t
