- #code2009 (langs I wrote code in in 2009) python, php, scala, java, ruby My wish for #code2010 python, clojure, scala #
- I shall look back at 2009 as the year I got convinced OOP wasn't the single effective way of tackling all problems. #
- In 2009 I also learnt to value multiparadigm languages more eg. python, scala (OOP/FP). Mixing the 2 may annoy purists but gets ur job done #
- @codemonkeyism I am most certainly not there. Yet. Maybe #2010 might do it
in reply to codemonkeyism # - @codemonkeyism I have this suspicion we often swing from one extreme to other losing sight of the earlier strengths eg. FP/OOP, SQL/NOSQL in reply to codemonkeyism #
- @_navin is this due to static/dynamic typing or JEE infrastructure or something else in reply to _navin #
- @sbidwai Yes, I agree. I sometimes apply pts 1 & 2 from http://is.gd/5HqVy in programming debates in reply to sbidwai #
- @_navin here's another way to type safety without writing tests http://bit.ly/6SL79e Hmm.. thats worthy of a blog post
/cc @IamSB in reply to _navin # - @_navin Other ways to manage the same through a. metaprogramming and b. decorators instead of testing alone (eg. last tweet) /cc @IamSB in reply to _navin #
- @_navin (corrected tweet) Do get out of Java at the earliest, except for plumbing & infra needs its going 2b v. expensive. Use scala. @IamSB in reply to _navin #
- #code2009 max_enjoyable Python, max_promise Scala, max_exciting Clojure, max_disappointing_growth Ruby, max_relegated_to_infra_needs Java #
- An explicit type checking decorator #python #runtime_type_checking #sample_code http://ideone.com/a4q1Gs16 when production=True – no impact. #
