I'm not disputing that Clojure's data structures right now are more performant than Scala's or that your project was worthless. I even apologized in case my original post was badly…

Why do you think it is a bad idea to differentiate clearly (.com vs. .org) between the business and community aspects of Clojure? I understand biz talk is a bit of a turnoff when p…

Arc's problem is that it is not the only tortoise in the race.

Is it unreasonable to expect that Scala's persistent collections will work comparably to Closure's when 2.8 final is released?

I did not have the intention of backhanding you or your friend. If my post had the appearance of doing so, I apologize. I just wanted to point out the (for me at least) non obvious…

scala.collection.immutable is/will not be stable, proven and reviewed?

Yes, 'a lot' is quite relative. :-) From my point of view 200 LoC giving me something I already have is a lot. From the point of view of your friend 200 LoC might be a very small p…

yes thats about what I meant, and more concise than my own explanation :-)

In my experience it was rare to do more than wrap Java collections to or from an Iterable[] Could you give me a simple example how say filtering and mapping a collection received b…

e.g. is SomeCollection a subtype of SomeCollection (using Java like Syntax)? For some type of collections in some kind of circumstance this might be sensible (e.g. when your collec…

Your friend might be wasting a lot of effort (apart from his personal learning experience), as Phil Bagwell is working on Scala's collection library.

Using implicits is really nice to clean up the interface to some Java APIs (especially for APIs making heavy usage of anonymous inner objects) but I experienced more ugly boilerpla…

Thats awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'll give Mono/F# another spin in the next week and will report problems as suggested by you. Again thanks.

Note that there is a good open source implementation of the .NET framework, Mono, so you can develop in C# and F# and target Linux, MacOS and other platforms. Is Mono actually usab…

Ruby is something people learn because they think programming is cool. In my experience this is a myth or a at least a stereotype more prevalent in the marketing of Rails than real…

Thanks!

I've been coding in Ruby/Rails for 3 years now, and been active in the community, and I haven't yet done that or encountered anyone who had done that. Than you seem to have had muc…

So, why aren’t more people crashing and burning? because: a) You're awesome, as long as you're using Ruby no matter how ridiculous you look when seen without rainbow colored glasse…

Hard to imagine anybody treating developers worse than Apple :-) I only catch glimpses of the MS world when I have to use common libraries originally developed by our Windows exper…

Because he wants business models for his startups which don't require (too much) miracles?

You see, MS is chock full of shitty architecture. And MS devs learn from MS. Do you have an idea why this is the case? Or the other way around why the architecture of OSS projects …

Being somewhat problematic for long running process is not only a function of memory leaks. Even with the better runtimes now available, suggesting that they come close to the stab…

I find it hard to imagine that there is any web framework still around that could be more screwed up than Struts. After having had some major exposure to the various members of the…

No, I am not a mental trainer. I am a software developer. It's just that I once studied sports science and I am still very interested in anything coming from that field... especial…

Coming from the I mental preparation for athletes area I found the book "In Pursuit of Excellence" ( http://books.google.com/books?id=VtzYIGXuo-gC&lpg=PP1&#3... ) very good. "The M…
