quickly and in parallel.

if you're looking for perl jobs in Sydney, drop me a line at mwotton@gmail.com. I have a few friends who are constantly looking for good perl devs.

Would you use it for Python? It probably wouldn't be that hard to port.

a typematrix keyboard and dvorak helped me.

yep, that was the idea. (Well, that, and I'm hoping that once Ruby hackers try Haskell, they'll be forever corrupted by the Functional side of the force.)

So, estimated release date for 6.14?

(I kid, I kid. This is great. and dynamic linking is wonderful indeed. old-gregg - it's not too hard to hack it in, I'm doing it in Hubris.)

there's a certain delicious irony there, n'est ce pas?

I use this all the time - my favourite is to promise to give a talk about something I haven't actually written yet. Powerfully motivating.

The code's pretty simple and there's still a lot to do in terms of making it easily installable, but hopefully it's useful to some people.

Twenty bucks, same as in town.

I predicted 21 and got 22 with gcc on mac. This is why I hack Haskell :)

enlightenment on the down-low! Sneaky.

observation without judgment seems very similar to the idea of mindfulness explored in vipassana meditation.

I used to be pretty slack about it, but then started working in a non-startup environment where it's the only possible way to protect your code from random external breakages. I wouldn't code without unit testing even on my own stuff now, and ideally I'd have continuous integration if I'm working with even one other person.

With the current primitives, it'd be pretty hard to do. You can get a list of your friends, but you can't do get a list of their friends - the best you can do is ask if two people are connected. you'd basically have to keep an offline list of the facebook web of connections.
