I would like to have a set of tax codes for free lancing and maybe a bit less rate for how unstable free lancing is. edit: I end up do...

There is a common understanding of how programming works. UML is really specific about a lot of details that are not entirely necessary for a lot of projects. For example, in doing a class diagram, there's formatting rules about public/private, how attributes are denoted differently than methods, and the line connecti...

Yes, but it's damned hard to walk away from a full-featured framework like Python or .NET and start playing with an academic language where you constantly finding yourself without a library you need or with libraries that obviously weren't finished or were designed with vastly different paradigms in mind.

The main strong points of AppCode are better code analysis, code completion/generation and refactoring support. Just as a single example, AppCode verifies that your code uses reference counting correctly, and can detect many cases of memory leaks automatically.

Yeah, once you pick up some idioms about how to express time and interleaving, you can do surprisingly powerful stuff, given that it's first-order logic. The use of what amount to "singleton sets" to express individuals, and using a common notation for everything, helps keep models nice and slim, too.

Not about Lisp as such, but his paper on Elephant was pretty interesting. A thing you may miss, coming from a modern perspective, is that [most modern programming languages are dialects of Lisp](http://www.paulgraham.com/icad.html), from the perspective of 1959 when McCarthy came up with the first Lisp. Of the key poi...

I think that it's great that a Lisp dialect is at the forefront of tackling concurrency issues. It's certainly got great, modern, tooling support courtesy of the JVM and its ecosystem.

Contrasting viewpoint: When you write software for yourself, you skimp out on interfaces because you don't need them. So when you get a better job offer and skip town, it leaves your replacement without any means of running or maintaining the software.

The reason was cultural: the programmers involved were used to the (standard) practice of comparing objects with equals(), which wasn't really the correct choice here.

Even Perl 5 is a terrible language to teach students programming with. It's an excellent language for self-taught exploration of programming and a joy to use day-to-day. But all the same reasons make it ill-suited for herding a group of uninspired and barely capable students towards understanding.

C is obviously fully supported; Objective-C is a superset of C. C++ support is there, but a bit less well-tested; bug reports are very much welcome. The debugger is a front-end around gdb. I don't think anyone on this planet could develop a _more_ advanced debugger than gdb. :)
