Martin Fowler talked about Event Sourcing. Greg Young mentioned about using Event Sourcing in algorithmic trading applications. Very recently Jonas Boner hacked up Martin's example using asynchronous Scala actors. That's heck of a precedence to conclude that there is enough meat in this lunch. Let me summarize my thoughts on Event Sourcing using Scala actors, and how it can be used to perform retroactive monitoring and diagnostics in an environment that supports code hot-swapping.

In the last installment we took a look at the project management information we get from results-based organization and execution, and how that provides an unambiguous status assessment. But project status data doesn't give us the complete picture: we also need to know that a team is delivering solutions in accordance with all of our expectations, such as quality and maintainability.

Lately I’ve been talking to a lot of customers and prospects about how to proactively approach risk mitigation with identity-related technologies.

I have nothing against numbers. I believe in the bottom line as much as the next business person. (And, fundamentally, that’s what I am–a business person. Except maybe without the silly, stereotypical baggage). But these days, when numbers–like profits, for example–are harder to hit, we’re tempted to focus on them even more.

Haskell supports lazy evaluation and recursive let. Both of these can be used very elegantly to implement recursive data structures. Consider this snippet. repeat :: a -> [ a ] repeat x = let xs = x : xs in xs In the above function, the result is named 'xs', which is again used inside the recursive let. Hence there is a circular loop, where the result in one stage of the evaluation gets fed back into the input.
