Recent FPish FPish discussion focused on some hacks available in F# to write code that resembles using Haskell type classes. I particularly enjoyed the comments by Gustavo Leon and Loic Denuziere. To cut the long story short, before compiling to .NET F[...]

Generic type parameters were introduced in C# 2.0, and they gave us the ability to write code that works against any type that matches a set of constraints and remove the need to create type-specific overloads, e.g.: A few years passed, and dynamic types [...]

System.Xml.Linq provides a nice, functional way of querying XML however with F# operator overloading we can create a nice mini DSL to have even cleaner code for XML querying. With this DSL we can mimic XPath and XQuery quite closely. … Continue reading →

As Clojure continues to evolve, it's a good idea to ensure your projects work with multiple versions of Clojure so that you are prepared for the future. Luckily, Leiningen makes that easy with a plugin called lein-multi which allows you to specify multipl[...]

In this article I discuss why F# Async is a good thing for writing concurrent software on .NET and show how to implement your own Async specialized for low-concurrency use. As a sample application, I look at a simple CML-style blocking channel.[...]

I recently watched this great cast from Graham Hutton on Channel 9: How to be more productive. Right at the beginning he shows us another application of the fixed-point combinator and this got me into the “Haskell/Lazy love”-mode again. So … Weiterlesen →

In this short article I want to show how to implement a simple polynomial type in F# over a generic field. For this I will use the technique introduced in this great article: Writing generic numeric code So you will … Weiterlesen →

We have Scott’s method. He uses backbone together with knockout. You might want to read the following google group posts. I like how you declare your setup on the app object. The problem with using only knockout for creating js app’s is that it only focus[...]
