Partial Applications with binds in Scala and Haskell

Ruminations of a Programmer

One of the fun parts of learning a new language is the involuntary urge of pitching its features against your favorite language of the same paradigm. I have been a Scala enthusiast for quite some time now, and have been trying to learn Haskell. it's no wonder that I have been passing through many of such "oh! it's flatMap in Scala" like rants, realizations and enlightenments.

The Agile PMO: Consistent Project Gatekeepers

The Agile Manager

In the last installment we took a look at the gap between what the PMO reports out, and what's actually happening in a project team. To begin to understand the nature of this gap, we’ll first take a look at what we use for project gatekeepers. We need to make a clear distinction in an IT project between the means and the ends. We often confuse this, because what we see day in and day out is that we’re paying for the means of production, when in the end we’re really acquiring an asset.

Features, Simplicity, and the Purpose of Software

Code Simplicity

One of the best ways to keep an app simple is, of course, to limit how many features you implement. Twitter , for example, has very few features, but is enormously successful. The limited number of features of Twitter make it really easy to keep the application simple, which lets the developers focus a lot on the quality of the system, the polish of each individual feature, etc.

What is special about combinators in Joy

Ruminations of a Programmer

I am continuing my rendezvous with Joy, and this post is yet another rant about my perception of why combinators are real first class citizens in the paradigm of concatenative languages. Many of today's languages offer combinator libraries, but, with the possible exception of Haskell, none match the elegance that Joy offers. Combinators help programming at a higher level of abstraction.

Biggest Battle Yet For Social Networks: You, Your Identity And Your Data On The Open Web. Facebook continues to make major and mostly proprietary moves as the battle for Web identity heats up.

Combinators for fun and profit

Ruminations of a Programmer

Wikipedia says. "A combinator is a higher-order function which, for defining a result from its arguments, solely uses function application and earlier defined combinators." Primitive functions that do not contain any free variables. The functions take some arguments and produce a result solely based on those arguments only. No side-effects, nothing.

Ruminations of a Programmer

Programming for the sole purpose of having fun with it - How does this sound ? We have been talking about learning a different programming language every year, taking on the pill of polyglotism, learning languages that inhabit the common runtimes like the JVM or the CLR. But all this for the purpose of making ourselves a better programmer and raising our programmer value index in today's market.

Data 2.0 - more musings

Ruminations of a Programmer

Martin Fowler writes. "If you switch your integration protocol from SQL to HTTP, it now means you can change databases from being IntegrationDatabases to ApplicationDatabases. This change is profound. In the first step it supports a much simpler approach to object-relational mapping - such as the approach taken by Ruby on Rails. But furthermore it breaks the vice-like grip of the relational data model.

Guido's thoughts on Scala

Ruminations of a Programmer

Many people who have reacted to Guido's gripes with Scala have bent the post towards a static-typing-is-bad-and-dynamic-typing-is-good syndrome. I think the main point of concern that Guido expresses relates to the complexity of Scala's type system and the many exceptions to the rules for writing idiomatic Scala. While it is true that there are quite a few rough edges in Scala's syntax today, none of them look insurmountable and will surely be addressed by the language designers in the versions

(I)SAR Clarified

Code Simplicity

In my previous post , I said that there are three major parts to any computer program: Structure , Action , and Results. Also, a program has Input , which could be considered a fourth part of the program, although usually it’s not the programmer who’s creating the input, but the user. So we can either abbreviate this as SAR or ISAR , depending on whether or not we want to include “Input.” Now, some people misunderstood me and said, “Oh, SAR is just another name for
