Hurray for submitting every damned article from the three years of your blog's existence. It doesn't look like an awful blog either, but dude, submit when you've recently made a good post. Stuff like this just clogs reddit.

You're almost right, actually. I dug up the INTERCAL manual at ESR's site, and this is what it has to say: > The earliest known description of the COME FROM statement in the computing literature is in [R. L. Clark, "A linguistic contribution to GOTO-less programming," Commun. ACM 27 (1984), pp. 349--350]...

WTF? My current project uses keyword arguments (as they're known in Lisp) *heavily* to write more flexable functions and avoid calls like this: (foo bar 'nil 'nil baz 'nil qux 'nil) or having to write a bunch of copy and paste functions with appropriate argument lists. Then again, PHP is full of stuff that...

I don't know what the title is on about, but the ["sequent notation" Qi uses to define types](http://www.lambdassociates.org/webbook/chap11.htm) and the [method by which it checks these types](http://www.lambdassociates.org/webbook/chap13.htm) are both pretty interesting.

The title of the submission is unfortunate, but the language itself should be awesome, if it lives up to its claims. My main fear would be that when using intensive algebraic datatypes a la ML (i.e. a happy mixture of tagged unions and tuples), the type system comes in the way. Indeed, such a programming style reall...

Well, the Microsoft argument seems to be that it doesn't make sense to use .NET in the OS because that's an application layer, not an OS layer. I saw a post on Larry Osterman's blog to that effect but can't locate it now. The problem with that sort of thinking is that it creates a dual-dogfood scenario: "We're the O...

yip, thats about right, but approximately half of that is test cases for the other half. so take it as about 10-15 methods each 5 lines long per class. We organize the classes into modules that correspond to the jars they are deployed in roughly 50 classes per jar, and about 80 jars. The rest of the code is testcases (...

Sure... no critical part of the OS is using .net... all this means is that they are listening to their own advice. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;841927 Is MS not dogfooding .net? I dont know... From the looks of visual studio, I wonder if they dogfood anything.

Gosling is defending his brain child and money tree. Having a vested interest in the success of Java/Sun, his viewpoint is likely coffee colored.

ifsetor()? Are they serious? make developers define the function themselves, it's a one liner. And don't bastardize the tertiary operator. It's in just about every C-like language, why make it work differently?

This is a pretty poorly formulated article, and most of the conclusions in it are wrong. MS is producing tons of .NET code and applications that are 100% .NET, including many things that will ship with Vista. Anyone who says different isn't actually paying attention and is starting from a biased position.

I was thinking along the lines of all the concepts that are learnt in a CS degree. Most of us won't use (most of) these on a day to day basis. However, like Joel said, abstractions do leak and that is when knowing these concepts becomes important.

A neat Steve Yegge article on abstractions was [posted to Reddit](http://programming.reddit.com/info?id=2s63) a week and a half ago. It didn't get a lot of points, though; I guess people were already sick of Steve Yegge by then.

I think it would be much better if reddit could automatically determine the file type, and add the correct [pdf]. I mean, it should be able to figure it out by following the link and checking the stream type. Why leave to humans, what machines can do for you? :)

This is great, except that IP isn't the 'unreliable' transport layer protocol. It's the fairly reliable network layer protocol. UDP is the best effort ('unreliable') transport layer protocol.
