What makes an effective tech strategy? “Decomposable: It should be possible to understand at a very high abstraction level by non techies, and then be able to decompose in steps down to the individual products and modules.”

Pragmatic Functional Java is a modern, very concise yet readable Java coding style based on Functional Programming concepts.

My Functional Programming journey was filled with dead ends, false starts, failed attempts and frustration. And I suspect that I’m not alone in this struggle. So why is this a common problem and what…

Koka: a Functional Language with Effects Koka v2 is a research language that currently under heavy development with the new C backend Latest release: v2.1.9, 2021-06-23 (Install). Koka is a strongly typed functional-style language with effect types and handlers. The core of Koka consists of a small set of well-studied language features, like first-class functions, a polymorphic type- and effect system, algebraic data types, and effect handlers. Each of these is composable and avoid the addition...

William Byrd explains the ideas behind logic programming languages (like Prolog) and relational programming. Also: miniKanren and core.logic, program synthesis, and much more.

Functional programming is an increasing popular programming paradigm with many languages building or already supporting it. Go already supports some of these features such as first-class and higher order functions and enabling functional programming. One key feature that’s been missing from Go is generics. Without this feature, functional Go libraries and applications are forced down one of two paths: type safe + use-case specific or type-unsafe + use-case agnostic. With the upcoming release ...

A little context: I got introduced to UML in around 2008, at an employer who had a site licence for Enterprise Architect. I was sent on a training course run by a company that no longer exists called Sun Microsystems: every day for a week I would get on a coach to Marble Arch, then take the central line over to Shoreditch (they were very much ahead of their time, Sun Microsystems) and learn how to decompose systems into objects and represent the static and dynamic properties of these objects on...
