There's also Leksah http://leksah.org/ . I used this a bit a few years ago. It does on-the-fly recompiles, reports errors, and shows type signatures.

There's an interesting post on the Haskell Cafe list from a while ago wherein Jason Dagit wonders if Git and Darcs aren't dual to one another. http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/hask…

I could make it that way, it's still pretty small at the moment. Here's the current list: Theraputic refactoring - Katrina Owen, The Future of Programming - Bret Victor, Simplicity…

That's exactly what I've started doing at my office. We watch a talk per week and discuss it after. Rich Hickey occupies several rows of the spreadsheet!

Totally agree. Demand better. Have your metaprogramming and be able to know where 'getPosition' was dynamically generated.

Acme is the part that I use even under OS X. The regexes are cool (they are recursive), it is easy to process a selection through a shell command, and the compiler integration is b…

Love it. There are elements of this that remind me of Plan 9's Acme and the Plan 9 shell. Contrary to many people's opinion, using the mouse in concert with the terminal is a reall…

Thanks! I'll add this.

Nope, this article is the real deal. I was at this conference and the take on the community rings true to me. It was a no-holds-barred hug fest (and a fine conference, of course). …

I like how Joe points out that rebasing raises the same issues as time travel, namely paradoxes. If you have rebased commits that others have pulled, then you've created a situatio…

I know it is probably gauche, but here's a tl;dr: The "regexp" in your programming language isn't "regular expression" from language theory. Adding extra bells and whistles (like b…

My two complaints are that the keyboard isn't the sort that I like, it's of the chiclet variety, and they only offer shortscreens (16:9 rather than 4:3). On the first complaint, th…

Haha, take it just a bit farther. When you get hooked on a tiling window manager, all this twisting in the wind over what KDE/GNOME 3.0/Unity will do next really evaporates. The "s…

I think companies (yes companies) like System76 are the only real way forward for Linux On The Desktop but I think that they tend to get ignored in this discussion. Linux already h…

Also useful is WPKG: http://wpkg.org/ Though it isn't exactly the same idea (more related to multiple workstations).

This is what I thought. I wasn't going to pay attention until they specified the client protocol (Wave needs an Emacs mode). Most of the complaints I've heard about Wave stemmed fr…

I think there's at least one clojure plug-in for each of the main Java IDEs: Enclojure (NetBeans) Counterclockwise (Eclipse) La Clojure (JetBrains) The other thing that has really …

There was a long post on the topic of 'regex-vs-parser' for email on reddit a while back. I hope I'm pointing to the correct person, but he wrote a parser in Haskell that validates…
