A different view on Functional Programming
If you have never heard about functional programming before, I’ll have the honor to instill in you my view on it. If you have, you might know that it’s usually defined by some of …

Why I love Go
Many years ago, I've been waiting for a language like Go. Back then, I was primarily working with C (for microcontrollers), and C++/Java/Python/etc (for bigger machines). These are great tools, but still I was longing for compiled, statically typed, memory-safe (and garbage collected) language, which compiles for the…

Type-safe GraphQL with OCaml
In July 2016, I spent some time writing a GraphQL endpoint for an existing application in Go. I chose to implement the endpoint in Go based on prior experience, good concurrency support and the desire to have static type system. The GraphQL library for Go, graphql-go , worked pretty well, and I was able to build the…

The Joy of Erlang; Or, How to Ride a Toruk (2011)
In the movie Avatar , there’s this big badass bird-brained pterodactyl thing called a Toruk that the main character must learn to ride in order to regain the trust of the blue people. As a general rule, Toruks do not like to be ridden, but if you fight one, subdue it, and then link your Blue Man ponytail to the…

Clojure Design Patterns
Disclaimer: Most patterns are easy to implement because we use dynamic typing, functional programming and, of course, Clojure. Some of them look wrong and ugly. It’s okay. All characters are fake, coincidences are accidental.

Sick of Ruby, dynamic typing, side effects, and object-orientation (2014)
This has been a long time coming. I had meant to write this post around the New Year, before the wave of death of Ruby stuff and before DHH’s “ TDD is dead ” ruckus:

Render Multimedia in Pure C
In a previous article I demonstrated video filtering with C and a unix pipeline . Thanks to the ubiquitous support for the ridiculously simple Netpbm formats — specifically the “Portable PixMap” ( .ppm , P6 ) binary format — it’s trivial to parse and produce image data in any language without image libraries. Video…
