I downloaded moe via the GNU project’s FTP server and installed it. The compilation was insanely fast, I think it took less than 10 seconds to get it all built and installed.

Misconstrued Language Similarity Considered Harmful

Ruminations of a Programmer

Very frequently I come across posts of the form Language X for Language Y programmers. It's not that there is anything wrong with them, but, more often than not, the underlying tone of such posts is to highlight some apparent (and often misconstrued) similarities between the two languages. Objects in Java and processes in Erlang have some similarity in the sense that both of them abstract some state of your application.

The Programmer's Paradox

Lately, I've been feeling undecided. There are so many great things I want to write about, but I fear that there are fewer and fewer people who want to read them. I'm split between not caring and just doing my own thing, or trying harder to pick more accessible topics to gain acceptance. We're drifting farther and farther away from wanting to know -- really know -- about stuff, and getting more into just having quick but meaningless details at our finger tips.
