The Monad Challenges: Jump start your understanding of monads
There are still some rough edges here, and also a fair amount of content to be added. But if we waited until everything was polished before publishing, it would probably never happen. So feel free to make comments, suggestions, or contribute new content. As always, pull requests are the most desirable.

Code that will break in Python 4

Two Weeks of Rust
Disclaimer: I'm digging Rust. I lost my hunger for programming from doing too many sad commercial projects. And now it's back. You rock, Rust!

Why Would Anyone Use Perl 6?
I mean, can you get it any more WRONG?! The juvenile logo and awful color scheme of the website. The Christmas release that isn't all release-like. Version 6.c? Why not 6.0? What's with the whole "language" and "compiler" distinctions no one cares about? Why is the first stable release of the compiler not optimized to…

Elm in the Real World
Elm is a beginner friendly functional reactive programming language for building web frontend. Choosing Elm for a customer project made my job nicer than ever and helped maintain project velocity during months of development.

How to Name Clojure Functions
This is a guide on naming Clojure functions. There are exceptions to every rule. When you’re defining something based on natural language, there are more exceptions than rules. I break these rules more often than I follow them. This guide is just a starting point for thinking about how to name things.

Why I'm joining the Dart Team
UPDATE May 2018: It’s 2 years later and this article still gets hundreds of reads a month. I should note some of the things below are outdated. For example, when I say “soon, you’ll be able to …

How to C in 2016
This is a draft I wrote in early 2015 and never got around to publishing. Here’s the mostly unpolished version because it wasn’t doing anybody any good sitting in my drafts folder. The simplest change was updating year 2015 to 2016 at publication time.

Sun, Oracle, Android, Google, Mozilla and JDK Copyleft FUD
I have probably spent more time dealing with the implications and real-world scenarios of copyleft in the embedded device space than anyone. I'm one of a very few people charged with the task of enforcing the GPL for Linux, and it's been well-known for a decade that GPL violations on Linux occur most often in embedded…

New string formatting in Python
For a language that claims to focus on one right way to handle most situations, string formatting in Python is quite a buffet and it’s getting more diverse by the year. Starting with Python 3.6 we now have three ways to format strings (outside of simple concatinating things or using string.Template ):

Clojure 2015 Year in Review
Another year, another year-in-review post. To be honest, I feel like any attempt I make to summarize what happened in the Clojure world this year is largely moot. Clojure has gotten so big, so — dare I say it? — mainstream that I can’t even begin to keep up with all the interesting things that are happening. But it’s…
