D’s Garbage Collector Problem
One of the biggest issues with Higgs, the JIT compiler I’m working on, is that the compilation times are too slow. The performance of the compiled machine code that Higgs produces is now fair…

Formal Methods in Building Robust Distributed Systems
We all know that when designing and operating applications at scale, it is persistent state management that brings the most difficult challenges. Delivering state-free applications has always been (fairly) easy. But most interesting commercial and consumer applications need to manage persistent state. Advertising…

Don't Learn to Code, Learn to Program – But Come Back in 10 Years
I want to discuss why programming and coding are not the same, and why I can no longer support the Learn to Code movement. I can no longer tell my friends to learn coding. Although I’m passionate about it, it’s too arcane and insular for mainstream practice.

Clojure 2013 Year in Review
This is my third Clojure year-in-review post. In 2011 I was excited about Clojure 1.3, ClojureScript, and the second Clojure/conj. By 2012 I was blown away by four Clojure conferences, two O’Reilly books, reducers, Datomic, Immutant, and a partridge in a pear tree.

The Colors of Chemistry
This notebook documents my exploration of color theory and its applications to photochemistry. It also shows off the functionality of several Julia packages: Color.jl for color theory and colorimetry, SIUnits.jl for unitful computations, and Gadfly.jl for graph plotting.

Mixins, Forwarding, and Delegation in JavaScript
This essay discusses how to separate JavaScript domain properties from object behaviour, without prototypes . This is deliberate. By examining four basic ways to have one object define the behaviour of other objects, we gain insight into what we’re trying to accomplish at a very basic level.

Typographic Programming Language
Allow me to present a simple thought experiment. Suppose we didn’t need to store our code as ASCII text on disk. Could we change the way we write – and more importantly read – symbolic code? Let’s assume we have a magic code editor which can read, edit, and write anything we can imagine. Furthermore, assume we have a…

Interactively Programming Flappy Bird in ClojureScript
I have been doing interactive programming in ClojureScript recently. After having spent some time with it, I can easily say that when I return to projects that don’t have an interactive workflow I feel like I am in the stone ages.
