F# Observations

I’m feeling all mad-scientistic tonight, sipping coke, with 30 tabs open in Opera :)

On my journey into the weird world of functional programming on the .NET CLR, I continue to stumble upon interesting stuff. Papers, articles, interviews, each worthy of hours of dedication. Alas, my day still has only 24 hours (I need to work around that somehow), so at the time being I can’t do much more than glance over everything. more…

Hey Hey OCaml

Wie’s aussieht hat sich auch Steve Yegge schon damit beschäftigt:

OCaml has threads, exceptions, call-with-continuation, calling conventions to and from C, a rich standard library with collections, networking, I/O, graphics, a complete interface to the Unix programming API, and a powerful module system that blows Java’s packages away. It has interfaces and bindings for Oracle, MySQL, postgres, berkeley DBs, CORBA, COM, xml-rpc, SOAP, XML, perl-compatible regular expressions… the list goes on. You name it, it’s there.

OCaml has the potential to make me happy as a programmer, finally.

Mjamm :) more…
