@psnively I thought parts of it were a little strange. eg. "more reliable is a myth". His comment on metaprogramming was right on in reply to psnively #
@psnively I believe static typing more reliable than dynamic, but there is a flexibility tradeoff. Different folks weigh them differently. in reply to psnively #
@psnively That one is beyond my knowledge sphere. But it would be interesting to find out how metaprogramming works in that context. in reply to psnively #
@psnively I assuming you were saying that in half jest, 'cos I very firmly believe thats not true. in reply to psnively #
@psnively If I could buy "fooling myself" insurance / cover. I would always buy it regardless of my position /cc @jteigen @kaleidic in reply to psnively #
@jteigen unit testing is a strange topic that always enters the typing debates – something imo isn't a central aspect to the choice. in reply to jteigen #
@jteigen I suspect most dynamic type proponents don't actually write all the unit tests it would take to provide a iron clad assurance in reply to jteigen #
@psnively Not quite. I buy life cover since the stakes are high, but rarely if ever extended warranties based on the economic tradeoffs. in reply to psnively #
@psnively A example is people externalising metadata (to XML?) when using static langs and then feeling happy about the productivity gains in reply to psnively #
@psnively I'm going to have to read up on that one. Will revert later. in reply to psnively #
@psnively Much Ruby s/w out there where people not looking 4 that insurance. I shall continue to sit on the fence n say no 1 right way in reply to psnively #
@psnively I am not convinced of all his statements eg. Reliability, Refactoring. Some say thats 'cos I haven't seen power of smalltalk tools in reply to psnively #
@psnively As a java dev I used to feel utterly jealous of python/ruby 4 their natural expression. I guess that changed after Scala @kaleidic in reply to psnively #
@kaleidic Whoa! in my experience the darling of financial sector is Java. No one. Repeat – no one comes even remotely close /cc @psnively in reply to kaleidic #
@psnively On the face of it Camlp4 is a preprocessor. I would imagine one could implement something similar 2 implement metalinguistic (1/2) in reply to psnively #
@psnively abstractions for java. But thats going to be unnatural and the preprocessed language probably is dynamically typed (2/2) in reply to psnively #
@psnively I would still imagine python/ruby/javascript/clojure provide much more natural and integrated metaprogramming capabilities in reply to psnively #
@psnively Hypothesis: Most static langs don't treat metalinguistic abstraction because they can't implement a statically typed preprocessor. in reply to psnively #
@psnively Sorry I didn't see your camlp4/metaocaml tweet before my last tweet. Am back digging into details in reply to psnively #
@psnively imo dyn typed langs allow me to "program ahead" to a type I only partially know, or doesn't exist & will get created @ runtime in reply to psnively #
@psnively If I understood metalinguistic abstractions properly, homoiconicity would be a "higher goal", but not mandatory. in reply to psnively #
@psnively my understanding of dyn languages is they allow "internal DSLs" whereas (perhaps) camlp4 allows construction of "external DSLs" ?? in reply to psnively #
@psnively afaik, type inferencing will allow binding only if to a known interface, will not allow or bind to types on the fly at runtime in reply to psnively #
@psnively you've educated me on an interesting possibility thats going to take some time to follow up on. in reply to psnively #
@vdichev count me in as one of those in reply to vdichev #
@jteigen ahh.. understood. in reply to jteigen #
@psnively Yes and in nonhomoiconic python / ruby one can invoke methods on types which are metalinguistic abstractions(?) created @ runtime in reply to psnively #
@fogus sorry, I used it just a tad loosely. But allow me to explain. In python/ruby, one can use metaclasses and build a dsl around it (1/2) in reply to fogus #
@fogus to express new type construction, and usage of such types (internal). Play framework does it thru bytecode @ startup (external) in reply to fogus #
@fogus Other examples of external would be preprocessor macros (not the lisp kind). Scala DSLs afaik will not allow new type construction in reply to fogus #
@debasishg Yes, Lisp, PlayFramework (bytecode on fly), camlp4 are different than cpp macro model, which defy clear classification @psnively in reply to debasishg #
@debasishg I take back my statement on Lisp .. thats actually clearly understood as a read cycle macro at runtime not compiletime @psnively in reply to debasishg #
@jneira what does uau and jum stand for ? in reply to jneira #
@jneira thanks .. you had me hunting all over the internet acronym finders in reply to jneira #

My first experience with tiling window managers is actually quite nice. Seems like I will stick to it. #bluetile on #ubuntu #
Google realtime search http://www.google.com/realtime is awesome. http://bit.ly/bypVnX (via @shrikant) #
Interesting to take a recent hot topic and step back in time to see its evolution on google realtime search http://www.google.com/realtime #
@offbytwo I read bluetile is based on xmonad http://is.gd/eFgub in reply to offbytwo #
@debasishg I think so. I've found either separate implementations or splitting the abstraction quite helpful in situations of leakiness. in reply to debasishg #
This "I just want to copy .. word for word .." meme is spreading virally. Google realtime search tells me it started about 7 hrs ago. #

Reduction of complexity is not the same thing as boilerplate avoidance. #
@codemonkeyism Correct. Brevity reduces one dimension of accidental complexity. That still may influence total complexity either way. (1/2) in reply to codemonkeyism #
@codemonkeyism I've been alleged to make my code too complex in situations when I've attempted to make it too brief (2/2) in reply to codemonkeyism #
@codemonkeyism Thats a great post. Wish I had seen it earlier. in reply to codemonkeyism #
A reason to use OO+Functional than only OO languages. Easier to write pluggable functions than functors for handling most corner cases. #
@mrkkrj I find so. eg. just a function reference instead of "new" of a functor, boilerplate of the functor etc. in reply to mrkkrj #
@mrkkrj If your question was is it worth changing the language used ? The answer would be no. in reply to mrkkrj #
@mrkkrj Hmm.. I was suggesting it as a reason to use one language over another, not change one already in use. in reply to mrkkrj #

@vdichev Unfamiliarity introduces learning complexity needing to be amortised over reduced coding/operational complexity in reply to vdichev #
@vdichev Yes, but sometimes library/tool authors handle far bigger feature set than users leverage which can increase complexity. eg. Maven in reply to vdichev #
@vdichev the hard part is never the actual amortisation, its selling/buying the initial fixed cost in reply to vdichev #
@jneira Python Answer (period = 4, data = list_of_vals) is
tuple((sum(data[i:i+period])/period for i in range(len(data)-period+1))) in reply to jneira #
@jneira so I'm a little confused what the fuss is all about. in reply to jneira #
@jneira The haskell solution seems to be the neatest (only if I could grok it better ) in reply to jneira #
@jneira couldn't resist playing some code golf myself http://is.gd/eDCNY in reply to jneira #

@kaleidic I myself am professionally schizophrenic. The straining to be heard alphageek engineer agrees with you and bruce in reply to kaleidic #
@kaleidic But I believe a large ecosystem eg in the enterprise s/w markets in US, especially in India is not better served by these in reply to kaleidic #
@kaleidic Apart from collaboration, its also a function of the ecosystem/mileu. My ideal team size is 1, current is 3 & in the past was 200+ in reply to kaleidic #
@kaleidic I tend to view situations both from the perspective of engineering and economics. And i believe economics is not given its due. in reply to kaleidic #
