I had to deal with it, when I hadto parse Transac-SQL code, and it's not handy. Very difficult to have a single executable file containing everything, it needs a whole subtree. OCa…

For normalization, for instance : Select stddev(col1)/avg(col1), stddev(col2)/avg(col2),... from mytable group by key. One line.

I use to write complex SQL query very usually, and I can say that it's far more concise than imperative code. Compared to it's own semantics, SQL is actually verbose, but its seman…

I think most of the problems come from insufficient semantic power of actual language. Most programming language, even the most advanced don't manage time, don't manage locality, a…

15 years ago I had the lighnight idea to interview my grandfather who join the french resistance during the WWII. I interviewed him about the life before the war, in the country an…

* The text research feature : it highlight what you search for and you can switch to a regexp. It works well with1G+ log data * You can set a color for each tab, so you instantaneo…

There's an interesting language strongly influenced by Self : Lisaac ( http://www.lisaac.org ). Lisaac is a purely prototype language extending the Self's prototype paradigm with e…

Using MagnetoHydroDynamic, you can. You just have to use parietal Engine invented by Jean-Pierre Petit in 1975[1]. With this technology you can fly at Mach 8, easily.. [1] https://…

Every programmers should know something about memory, because software are becoming bloat [1] [2] because of a new generation of programmers who doesn't optimize their code. So, of…

Same. MPB 2012/FF65 Not the first time I notice that macOS has a lot of troubles with big IOs (disk, network, and now GPU)

Some years ago, I had to write program that extract a foot pressure platform for an orthopedist, and I had to do it with a closed-source Delphi API. Delphi was already old at that …

AgensGraph is a graph database built on top of PostgreSQL. The ability of PostgreSQL to handle with graph drive the AgensGraph's Team to develop a special index type to manage edge…

I wonder if this very clever approach is interesting in the energy consumption perspective. In this work ( http://hpc.pnl.gov/modsim/2014/Presentations/Kestor.pdf ) the author show…

Using PostgreSql, I tend now to directly generate query result in json. It implies an architecture model where you put the business logic and type safety in the RDBMS. It reduces t…

I think all experiments of languages that resembled natural languages will never work until one will try to ascend to a more high-level paradigm. Actuals programming language are b…

Good point : there's no parser inside the lexer, like PHP ;-)

What we would dream about OCaml

Several possibilities : - A very clever and complete type analysis. The compiler can thus optimize at best the code without runtime type-checking code. - If possible, a flow analys…
