A framework is not the place you want to do something you might need. You want to be much stricter and say, "I need this framework feature now to support my application, therefore I'm going to add it to the framework." 10/06/2003 {link:Agile Manifesto|http://agilemanifesto.org/} 19/06/2003 {link:Design Principles Behind Smalltalk|http://users.ipa.net/~dwighth/smalltalk/byte_aug81/design_principles_behind_smalltalk.html} 19/06/2003 {link:The Naming System Venture|http://www.namesys.com/whitepaper.html} 19/06/2003 {link:Good Computer Science Videos|http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee380/} 23/06/2003 Inversion-of-Control: this is the design pattern used by Core and implemented by the Context.

Disks will give you 200 accesses per second, so if you read a few kilobytes in each access, you're in the megabyte-per-second realm, and it will take a year to read a 20-terabyte disk. If you go to sequential access of larger chunks of the disk, you will get 500 times more bandwidth-you can read or write the disk in a day. So programmers have to start thinking of the disk as a sequential device rather than a random access device. </blockquote> 17/09/2003 {link:Toronto XP/Agile Users Group|http://xptoronto.com/} 18/09/2003 {link:Martin Fowler on Complexity and Flexibility|http://www.artima.com/intv/flexplex2.html} He says: "The cost of flexibility is complexity." but I would argue that complexity is usually at the expense of flexibility or to put it another way that the ultimate form of flexibility is only reached once you've reduced things to their simplest form. 19/09/2003 {link:Is It High Time To Get Rid of Classes?|http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=13347} 23/09/2003 {link:Programming Challenges|http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0387001638/ref%3Dnosim/thealgorithmrepo/002-6695101-2876031} This looks like a good book. 23/09/2003 {link:Programming Challenges|http://acm.uva.es/problemset/} ACM Problem sets. 30/09/2003 {link:MIT Open Course Ware for Computer Science|http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/index.htm} 02/10/2003 {link:Java Best Practises|http://www.javapractices.com/index.cjp} 02/10/2003 {link:The Impedance Imperative|http://www.jot.fm/issues/issue_2003_09/column1} 03/10/2003 {link:Re: Io Object system streams|http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iolanguage/message/2304} Imagine the power that would come of both keeping all our data in simple unified object structures (instead of every unix program having it's own configuration language, log format, etc) and being able to pass objects around instead of text streams. I suspect that you could do everything that unix can do in a way that was far smaller, faster and simpler. - Steve Dekorte 06/10/2003 {link:Joy After Sun|http://www.fortune.com/fortune/technology/articles/0,15114,490598-1,00.html} ...

Probably the most realistic approach is to "be the change you want to see." In other words, adopt as much of this stuff as you can personally, or in a small sub-team. Success will eventually be noticed, and others will begin to emulate you. It's a long, slow process, and the organizational antibodies (akin to white cells in the blood) will come after you at some point. But that's really a topic for a whole separate interview or article. Ultimately, it comes down to ease of expression. If I can express myself in code at a level closer to the problem domain, then I'm going to be more effective, and my code is likely to be easier to maintain and extend. Paul Graham makes a big deal out of the way Lisp helped him while building the software that became Yahoo Stores, and he's right. These languages, applied properly, are a strategic advantage. I know some companies are using them with great success. And you know - they're keeping quiet about it. 02/07/2004 {link:Multi-Stage Programming|http://www.metaocaml.org/} - Like continuous or generalized code generation built into your language 07/07/2004 {link:Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs|http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/} - Full online copy of the famous textbook which is considered by many to be the greatest textbook in computer science. 13/07/2004 {link:JGraph|http://www.jgraph.com/} - Now GPL'ed 13/07/2004 {link:Java Performance + Benchmarks|http://www.idiom.com/~zilla/Computer/javaCbenchmark.html} 16/07/2004 {link:Context Oriented Programming (in Forth)|http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:4VVIMgWz508J:dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/forth/euro/ef98/gassanenko98a.pdf+context+oriented&hl=en} 19/07/2004 {link:Lua Book Online|http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/book/} 29/07/2004 {link:Paul Graham on Great Hackers|http://www.paulgraham.com/gh.html} - Long but makes many great points. 29/07/2004 {link:Icon Programming Language|http://burks.brighton.ac.uk/burks/language/icon/} - Icon's "goal-directed evaluation" is, in a fashion, similiar to ContextPipelines, also see {link:here|http://www.nondot.org/sabre/Mirrored/AdvProgLangDesign/finkel09.pdf} 29/07/2004 {link:Rails - Ruby Framework|http://www.rubyonrails.org/show/HomePage} 03/08/2004 Cool BBQ's: {link:1|http://www.kamado.com/} {link:2|http://biggreenegg.com/bge.htm} {link:3|http://www.primogrill.com/} {link:4|http://www.grilldome.ca/} {link:5|http://www.imperialkamado.com/index.htm} 10/08/2004 {link:A Hacker's Introduction to Partial Evaluation|http://www.lisp-p.org/htdocs/peval/peval.cgi}, {link:Partial Evaluation #1|http://cliki.tunes.org/Partial%20Evaluation%20101}, {link:Partial Evaluation #2|http://compose.labri.fr/documentation/pe/}, {link:Partial Evaluation #3|http://library.readscheme.org/page10.html}, and {link:Partial Evaluation and Automatic Program Generation|http://www.dina.kvl.dk/~sestoft/pebook/} - Partial Evaluation has two applications w.r.t. the Framework: 1. It can be used to achieve the same affect as code-generation without having to program in a seperate language in a seperate style 2. It can be used to optimize Context lookups by partially evaluating code within a particular Context to avoid future lookups 10/08/2004 {link:Combined Mouse and Keyboard|http://www.alphagrip.com} - With such a device new types of computer interfaces become feasable *Update:* throw in one of {link:these|http://global.mitsubishielectric.com/company/r_and_d/innovations/inn_02.html} to go with it. 10/08/2004 Objects < Closures < Objects: {link:1|http://www.ai.mit.edu/~gregs/ll1-discuss-archive-html/msg03277.html} {link:2|http://okmij.org/ftp/Scheme/oop-in-fp.txt} {link:3|ftp://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/scheme-repository/doc/pubs/swob.txt} {link:4|http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ClosuresAndObjectsAreEquivalent} - Just as Objects and Closures are interchangeable, so to are Contexts, Objects, and Closures. But just because they are interchangeable doesn't mean that one isn't better or worse for a particular application. This sort of knowledge becomes useful in a language like Java where you want to do more dynamic things than your static class system allows. By creating Closures or Contexts (with Classes) you can then connect them dynamically to form something like dynamic Classes. Kind of like getting back to where you started but with out the language imposed static limitiations. 11/08/2004 {link:The Original 'Lambda Papers' by Guy Steele and Gerald Sussman|http://library.readscheme.org/page1.html} - And the Scheme {link:spec|http://swiss.csail.mit.edu/classes/6.001/FT98/manuals/r4rs/r4rs.pdf} in case you want to know what they're talking about.

The idea being to use a code generator to create many non-text-based domain specific languages. This is essentially what the Framework does with things like XMenus, ContextPipelines, SuperHomes (in the future), etc. A tree of nested beans becomes a language. This is what I have been calling a "Facade Manager" but is really a sort of extensible visual grammer or visual BNF. Developers for languages like Lisp, Forth, and Smalltalk may find this to be old-hat as it is common practise for them to first extend their languages before solving a given domain problem. 27/08/2004 {link:Blog Discussion on Statics/Globals|http://beust.com/weblog/archives/000174.html}, and {link:A Related Article|http://www.ftponline.com/javapro/2004_09/magazine/columns/proshop/} 02/09/2004 <nop>ZigZag: {link:1|http://xanadu.com/zigzag/tutorial/ZZwelcome.html}, {link:2|http://xanadu.com/zigzag/} - I don't get it, but it still looks interesting. 02/09/2004 {link:OOScheme|http://schemecookbook.org/Cookbook/IdiomObjectOrientedProgramming} {link:TinyScheme|http://tinyscheme.sourceforge.net/oo.txt} {link:Tiny CLOS|http://community.schemewiki.org/?Tiny-CLOS} {link:Tiny CLOS 2|http://www.barzilay.org/Swindle/tiny-clos-doc.html} {link:Meroon|http://www-spi.lip6.fr/~queinnec/WWW/Meroon.html} 03/09/2004 Alan Kay: The Early History of Smalltalk: {link:PDF|http://lispmeister.com/downloads/SmalltalkHistoryHOPL.pdf} {link:HTML|http://gagne.homedns.org/%7etgagne/contrib/EarlyHistoryST.html} - long but fascinating 08/09/2004 {link:Free Smalltalk Books|http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~ducasse/FreeBooks.html} 10/10/2004 {link:OO Prolog|http://www.cetus-links.org/oo_prolog.html#LogTalk} - About two years ago I realized that if you take OO to its logical conclusion, you end up no longer being strictly OO. Actually, you keep your Objects but just get rid of your Classes. But if you continue along this line and add multi-method dispatch then the notions of 'this' and 'that' become blurred. Given that you've already removed the class/object distinction you end up programming in a style of Prolog. Objects are now more of a idiom than an actual language feature. The difference between procedural, object-oriented, and context-oriented programming is just a matter of the number of binding/extra parameters you use (0, 1, and 2 respectively). Anyway, I think that if you were to combine partial-evaluation along with something like Prolog you would end up with something really great (and fast). 10/09/2004 {link:Mercury|http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/research/mercury/information/benchmarks.html} - A modern high-performance typed Prolog. 10/09/2004 {link:Clean|http://www.cs.kun.nl/~clean/} - a general purpose, higher order, pure and lazy functional programming language. 13/09/2004 {link:NewLisp|http://www.newlisp.org/} - A New Lisp which is {link:Context-Oriented|http://newlisp.org/newlisp_manual.html#contexts} ;-). 22/09/2004 Prototypes: {link:Introduction|http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Teaching/IOOM/PPT/NewProtoTypesIntro.pdf} {link:Advanced|http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Teaching/IOOM/PPT/PrototypesAdvanced.pdf} 22/09/2004 {link:Spreadsheet Languages|http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/classic/message9066.html} This paper explores the notion of spreadsheets as functional languages.
