A “Smart Disorganized” Tech Blog

Very interesting. Recently my “ProgrammingInWiki” page on WardsWiki seems to have come back to life. Along with a companion WikiIDE. A WikiDE is, of course, something I’ve been working on in the background for some time. But I’m far from having anything to show yet. So if these guys get there first, good luck to…

Damien Katz has more interesting comments about Erlang’s “ugliness”. (hat-tip @Folknology)

I’ve been wondering what Ward Cunningham’s been up to at Eclipse. Jon Udell is on the case : Interesting tools for software developers. Apparently’s Ward’s now at a wiki-startup. (Mark Dilley seems to be involved too.)

I’m way too busy now … but I’m having some kicking ideas about my own grandiose bid to improve programming … … think GeekWeaver in an SdiDesk-alike editor (obviously). Then imagine that *everything* is a template. That’s the way that GeekWeaver is already going. Everything is a template (ie. has named slots that can be…

Somehow I feel I should be exploring WikidBase Looks clever … and in Python.

Here’s a question … why is Erlang so ugly? I don’t mean that in a pejorative way (not much, anyway). I mean, I really love what it does. I’m totally impressed with Erlang’s power and simplicity. I’m writing simulations which are about a quarter of the size of the Python equivalent. So this is not…

And I thought I was ambitious, trying to write a programming language! My friend Oli has decided to reinvent programming as we know it. Details are still trickling out via his web-site : Semantic Programming. And I’m in frenzied skype conversation with him, trying to figure out what it’s all about. In outline, it starts…

Paul Graham’s Arc Challenge . Examples in Lisp, Smalltalk Seaside, Ruby, Perl and Python (using generators instead of continuations) And an Erlang response.

@adrianh suggests looking more at Parrot Compiler Toolkit … which is very cool. I’m finding that language design is hard. Not just the implementation part (although that’s hard too) … but just figuring out how to make a syntax that allows all the things you’d expect to be done in an elegant way. I’m starting…
Got any book recommendations?
