Grossly unfair, unreliable, biased, and pretty much delusional rants and ravings on Lisp from a simple working application programmer. Saturday, October 31, 2009. The King is Dead! Long live. Scala? Whoa, why wasn't I told Java is closing its doors. I guess I have been out of touch, word seems to be everywhere. I had to go here. Blog of the guy who created Groovy. To find out. James is whooping it up over Scala. As Java's successor. Yes, the guy who invented Groovy prefers Scala. Quite a bit:. No, it is ...

Martin C. Martin. Inspiring Lunatics, Tainting Meats. What I’ve Learned From Programming In Lisp. Should you pursue your PhD? Where are the fast dynamic languages? April 3, 2008. But I also knew, and forgot, Hoare’s dictum that premature optimization is the root of all evil in programming. 8212; Donald Knuth. Something bizarre happened on the Groovy-dev mailing list the other day. Alex Tkachman made what I thought was a simple suggestion:. I suggested the checks could work like assertions:. Even though i...

Notes from a Wayward Monkey. GraphQL beyond the Web. Is (from their site):. Query responses are decided by the client rather than the server. A GraphQL query returns exactly what a client asks for and no more. A GraphQL query itself is a hierarchical set of fields. The query is shaped just like the data it returns. It is a natural way for product engineers to describe data requirements. Website has a lot of additional information, documentation, and some initial implementations. Read more ». Much like my...

networking - Notes from a Wayward Monkey

Notes from a Wayward Monkey. Looking at Packet Capture and Dissection. For the project that I am working on (not yet disclosed), I was thinking that it would be interesting to be able to integrate a view of what is happening on the network, much like Wireshark. And other tools can provide. The view would be more targeted towards what the user was doing, but the overall idea would be the same: capture network traffic and perform some basic analysis on it to display it visually.

Initial Thoughts on Polymer - Notes from a Wayward Monkey
http://waywardmonkeys.org/2014/10/02/initial-thoughts-on-polymer
Notes from a Wayward Monkey. Initial Thoughts on Polymer. By Bruce Mitchener, Jr. Thu 02 October 2014. There wasn't any clearly right answer and given the lack of an over-arching framework, anything would've involved even more work, and it wasn't going to be of direct benefit to my client, so I didn't have the time to do it.

http://waywardmonkeys.org/tag/swig.html
Notes from a Wayward Monkey. SWIG and JavaScript - Part One. I experiment with a lot of ideas for projects and see which ideas stick, which seem interesting, which require something that I can't provide, etc. A project that I'm working on now may well be interesting and within my capabilities and the resources that I can muster, but I don't want to identify it specifically yet. Version 3.0 of SWIG. For now, I have hacked the SWIG interface files from the C library to wrap Python-specific portions in.

Notes from a Wayward Monkey. By Bruce Mitchener, Jr. Fri 10 October 2014. In our case, we're interested in enhancing the interaction between a user and a specific tool. We'll take a look here at some of the ideas that have come before to get an idea of what people have already done to inform what we do for ourselves. Some of the things discussed here are old, some are new. Some are long lost and forgotten (one link below is to archive.org) while others are actively being worked on today. Textual represen...
