Programming Language Religions

We have all experienced it: you make an innocent statement about a programming language online, and suddenly you are mired in a flamewar. You are labeled a fanboy and flamebait.Why is choice of programming language such a touchy issue? It's like once you enter into certain areas of the topic of programming languages*, you are instantly transported... (309 天前)

Writing map in Haskell

Recently, I posted an article about why I didn't like Haskell's type checker (or really, any of the other type checkers I know of) in theory. I sensed that it got a lot of flack. It was an idea I had been pinging around in my head for a while. It was not meant as a criticism against Haskell, but a statement of my preference.Someone suggested to me... (309 天前)

Nice article on small software

The Virtues of Small SoftwareNowadays we have thousands of times the processing power, memory and storage yet, from the user's perspective, software for the desktop, web and mobile seems to run slower than it should, or used to.While it does start a bit backwards-looking*, this article wraps it up with a great positive, futurist spin: mobile devices a...

A great story of lispy discovery

Not Lisp again . . .I'm always searching for a good way to explain what you can do with Lisp that you can't do with most other languages. Joe Marshall has a compelling story, from a skeptic's point of view, for what makes functional programming different. There are multiple parts that trace his way through a course at MIT and toward a love of lisp... (309 天前)

Why type systems are wrong

Type systems are wrong because the world cannot be put into a tree structure of categories*. Only a small, controlled subset of the universe can be modeled by a given tree structure. Far from making a system extensible and maintainable, type systems often lead to their own inflexibility. Upon adding type after type, a question inevitably emerges: w... (309 天前)

Rewriting

Brittle class hierarchies serve a purpose. They let you model your domain. In a sense, you are creating a language about the problem. It is brittle because you want to know when it breaks so you can fix the problem. But sometimes, if you are adding and adding classes, legitimate stuff stops fitting in so neatly. You kind of have to force it, becaus... (309 天前)

On Class Modeling

I have always favored composition over inheritance. It seems like the best way to reuse functionality. I reserve inheritance for truly polymorphic types. Code reuse when inheriting is merely a convenience. Inheritance should never be used just to reuse code.Classes are like the fixed points in your code. They define undeniable assumptions for your ...
