  1. I'm chuffed. Built a non-trivial system, refactored the foundations & it still works solid months later. No unit tests, yet no regression.
  2. Interesting: immutant.org - Clojure on JBoss AS 7 - worth having a look at, at least for ideas.
  3. #clojure is ridiculously rewarding to work with. It's tough thinking, but it forces you to refine your idea of simplicity.
  4. I've grown so used to cmd+tab, hover w/mouse to switch apps - anybody know of something like that for chrome?
  5. Wow, AirDisplay has just gotten quite significantly faster. I like it. :)
  6. I converted a synchronous function call to an asynchronous one today just by passing a function instead of calling it. That was awesome.
  7. Really want to try out clojure-refactorings github.com/joodie/clojure…, need to do custom instal though :/ I use Slime/Swank, not clojure-jack-in
  8. Lisp and Brain Neurochemistry - Programming jamesabbottdd.com/programming/li…
  9. Higher order functions make my day :D
  10. Curious-Haskell has a lot devoted to getting rid of parens.. Parens must be much harder than associativity and more symbols?
  11. "A class is a collection of related methods that operate on the state of an object".. Complecting namespaces, functions and value!
  12. An cool thing happens when you stop seeing the database as a bunch of entities (ORM style), but rather simply as the data that it is.
  13. "} catch (Exception $e) {" - why is this a PHP construct? no wait.. I don't think I want to know.
  14. It's the second exam I've ever done that I'm determined to do well in.. the other was my SCJP.
  15. Itching to get into Erlang dev.. It has to wait for the end of this algorithms course though! Exam next weekend!
  16. Haha, brilliant - PHP: a fractal of bad design: me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/0…
