- Is “fail” and “#fail” the most avoidable / regrettable term in twitter vocabulary ? #
- Requesting references for scala web frameworks (lift is the only one I am aware of). #
- The reason I suggested that #fail is avoidable was that it often ends up being used as a blanket judgement – baby with the bathwater. #
- Found a great use for operator overloading – overloading “>>” for a monad bind equivalent results in a sweetly readable pipeline. #
- Interesting (likely u’ve already seen it): Will it play in App Engine (ie. will the lang / lib/ spec play in GAE)? http://tinyurl.com/cq2ygg #
- @codemonkeyism Shouldn’t ‘C’ be the most productive lang per ur suggested order ? in reply to codemonkeyism #
- @codemonkeyism I always thought C libraries were superb for what they got to build upon. If C had gc, reflection n metaprogramming ..contd.. in reply to codemonkeyism #
- @codemonkeyism C on rails would’ve been written a decade earlier. Langs enable platfms which enable tools n libs. ergo prod comes from langs in reply to codemonkeyism #
- @codemonkeyism imo what makes us think otherwise is often the time lag between a language and a platform / libraries that leverage it well. in reply to codemonkeyism #
- @apostlion I did mention if it had reflection and metaprogramming support. Thats a tough one I admit to imagine for C. in reply to apostlion #
- @apostlion My statement was second (look at my earlier tweet) in a context you might have to step through to discover. (in-reply-to) in reply to apostlion #
- @codemonkeyism in many ways yes, but it doesn’t allow conversion of a dsl into code constructs (keeps them data). hence no c on rails
in reply to codemonkeyism # - Why has the actor model not succeeded (May 1997) No longer as relevant, useful read nevertheless. http://tinyurl.com/ce4sc6 #
