Re: My Programming Escapades - Design patterns are bullshit!

They are not just bull shit, but cow shit, horse shit, and every possible excreta one can think of. Instead of having Managers learning buzz words on subjects they know nothing about and forcing it on us innocent programmers, they and the rest of the IT world and Academia should concentrate on writing working (and high performance) code. Renaming of the wheel (like "refactoring') does not turn incompetent programmers into geniuses. Strong worded letter to follow...:)

One of the most common experiences that a person will be able to have when they will going to go deeper into programming because those things that you have mentioned are the ones that can enhance their output.

Your caption for that image is likely a little underestimated - I'd date it as somewhere between 1983 (when Sony introduced their first CD players) and 1987 (after which they began pushing VHS rather than Betamax as the primary video format).

FP vs OO as well - dev community just falls for latest fads and buzz. And self righteous preachers preaching exactly what we should/should not do

Re: My Programming Escapades - Practical Future[Option[A]] in Scala

Very good reading, thanks for this article!

Before reading this post, I was doing things like this :


def fa : Future[Option[String]] = Future(Some("a"))
def fb(a: String) : Future[Option[String]] = Future(Some(a+"b"))

val composedAB: Future[Option[String]] = fa.flatMap{
    case Some(a) => fb(a)
    case None => Future(None)
}

Working good too but less nice and less composable!

I guess I was wrong. Thank you for this useful infomation

I mean, yes, your explanation is sufficient ;)

One more thing: It does not matter if your client is tiny or fat, multipage or single page. At the end of the day you need to pack Javascript, HTML and server code togeter to create a functional piece of a web application.

MFlow permits you to pack all these elements in a haskell widget and combine it with other pieces with safety, using haskell combinators, in single or multipage applications.

By the way. here is some Web service using REST in MFlow

Well, yes and no. It is also good for doing single page apps using AJAX on the background.

If you want an more powerful + Haskellish routing DSL without resorting to QuasiQuoting - you should take a look at https://hackage.haskell.org... - the examples are at the bottom of the doc.

There is also a way to auto-generate full documentation + test API off the routes (snap-predicates-swagger on GitHub), and a WAI compatible version in the works.

Because I have a finite amount of free time :)

I know about MFlow but didn't yet have time to try it. My impression was that MFlow is geared towards doing traditional multi page applications with lots of roundtrips. My interest currently is more in fat clients(I use angularjs) and REST APIs.
This is why I focused primarily on routing, since it's essential to my problems. As mentioned I might do a part 2 and I am open to suggestions on what else to try. And of course feel free to contribute examples.

I hope my explanation is sufficient.

Why you did not consider MFlow?

Thank you! I forgot about RSS even though I use it on daily basis. Now available at http://edofic.com/rss.xml will put an icon somewhere on the site shortly.

Could you add an RSS feed to your blog? Then it would be easy to keep track of your posts in an RSS reader. Hakyll has support for it: http://jaspervdj.be/hakyll/....
