And even that wasn't a deal-breaker before. The real problem seems to be that: The new JVM is 64-bit Intel-only You can't mix...

Thanks to Eric and Brian and other champions of test first development, I've been profitably writing unit tests and functional tests in various projects for more than seven years. Nowadays I wouldn't dare delivering anything without having thoroughly tested it. For me, the tests serves three purposes: To ensure that the...

Ted Neward calls out DSL and functional programming as being the hypes du-jour: Interoperability Happens: Domain-specific languages are the new phrase of the moment, and its emotional context is being built as we speak. Functional languages will be there sometime next year or the year after. For both, the euphoria is growing, and for each, in...
