I am currently looking into the functional programming language Standard ML (aka SML). The purpose is to refresh my functional programming skills and to learn something new too. Since I already knew a little Haskell, I could not help myself, and I also implemented the same exercises in Haskell.

 
As you will see, SML and Haskell are very similar (at least when it comes to the basics). However, the syntax of Haskell is a bit more "advanced". Haskell utilizes fewer keywords (e.g. no val, end, fun, fn ...). Haskell also allows to write down the function types explicitly. What I have been missing in SML so far is the so-called pattern guards. Although this is a very superficial comparison for now, so far, I like Haskell more than SML. Nevertheless, I thought it would be fun to demonstrate a few simple functions of both languages to show off the similarities. 

 
Haskell is also a "pure functional" programming language, whereas SML also makes explicit use of imperative concepts. I am by far not a specialist in either of these languages, but here are a few functions implemented in both SML and Haskell:

Background

 
Finally, I had time to deploy my authoritative DNS servers (master and slave) for my domains "buetow.org" and "buetow.zone". My domain name provider is Schlund Technologies. They allow their customers to edit the DNS records (BIND files) manually. And they also allow you to set your authoritative DNS servers for your domains. From now, I am making use of that option.

 Schlund Technologies

Have you reached this article already via Gemini? It requires a Gemini client; web browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc., don't support the Gemini protocol. The Gemini address of this site (or the address of this capsule as people say in Geminispace) is:

However, if you still use HTTP, you are just surfing the fallback HTML version of this capsule. In that case, I suggest reading on what this is all about :-).

When I was a Linux System Administrator, I have been programming in Perl for years. I still maintain some personal Perl programming projects (e.g. Xerl, guprecords, Loadbars). After switching jobs a couple of years ago (becoming a Site Reliability Engineer), I found Ruby (and some Python) widely used there. As I wanted to do something new, I decided to give Ruby a go.

 
You should learn or try out one new programming language once yearly anyway. If you end up not using the new language, that's not a problem. You will learn new techniques with each new programming language and this also helps you to improve your overall programming skills even for other languages. Also, having some background in a similar programming language makes it reasonably easy to get started. Besides that, learning a new programming language is kick-a** fun!

Perl (the Practical Extraction and Report Language) is a battle-tested, mature, multi-paradigm dynamic programming language. Note that it's not called PERL, neither P.E.R.L. nor Pearl. "Perl" is the name of the language and perl the name of the interpreter or the interpreter command.

 
Unfortunately (it makes me sad), Perl's popularity has been declining over the last years as Google trends shows:

"The pragmatic programmer" book notes

Published at 2023-03-15T00:55:20+02:00

+
These are my personal takeaways after reading "The Pragmatic Programmer" by David Thomas and Andrew Hunt. Note that the book contains much more knowledge and pearls of wisdom and that the following notes only contain points I personally found worth writing down. This is mainly for my use, but you might find it helpful too.

+
Think about your work while doing it - every day on every project. Have a feeling of continuous improvement. 

+
    
+
  • Be a realist.
    • 
+
  • Smell challenges.
    • 
+
  • Care about your craft.
    • 
+
  • Code can always be flawed, but it can meet the requirements.
    • 
+
  • You should be proud of your code, though.
    • 
+

+
No one writes perfect code, including you. However:

+
    
+
  • Paranoia is good thinking.
    • 
+
  • Practice defensive programming and crash early.
    • 
+
  • Crashing is often the best thing you can do. 
    • 
+
  • Changes should be reversible.
    • 
+

+
Erlang: Defensive programming is a waste of time. Let it crash. "This can never happen" - don't practise that kind of self-deception when programming. 

+
Leave assertions in the code, even in production. Only leave out the assertions causing the performance issues.

+
Take small steps, always. Get feedback, too, for each of the steps the code does. Avoid fortune telling. If you have to involve in it, then the step is too large.

+
Decouple the code (e.g. OOP or functional programming). Prefer interfaces for types and mixins for a class extension over class inheritance.

+
    
+
  • Refactor now and not later.
    • 
+
  • Later, it will be even more painful.
    • 
+

+
Don't think outside the box. Find the box. The box is more extensive than you think. Think about the hard problem at hand. Do you have to do it a certain way, or do you have to do it at all?

+
Do what works and not what's fashionable. E.g. does SCRUM make sense? The goal is to deliver deliverables and not to "become" agile.

+
Continuous learning

+
Add new tools to your repertoire every day and keep the momentum up. Learning new things is your most crucial aspect. Invest regularly in your knowledge portfolio. The learning process extends your thinking. It does not matter if you will never use it.

+
    
+
  • Learn a new programming language every year.
    • 
+
  • Read a technical book every month.
    • 
+
  • Take courses.
    • 
+

+
Think critically about everything you learn. Use paper for your notes. There is something special about it.

+
Stay connected

+
It's your life, and you own it. Bruce Lee once said: 

+
"I am not on the world to life after your expectations, neither are you to life after mine."

+
    
+
  • Go to meet-ups and actively engage.
    • 
+
  • Stay current.
    • 
+
  • Dealing with computers is hard. Dealing with people is harder. 
    • 
+

+
It's your life. Share it, celebrate it, be proud and have fun.

+
The story of stone soup

+
How to motivate others to contribute something (e.g. ideas to a startup):

+
A kindly, old stranger was walking through the land when he came upon a village. As he entered, the villagers moved towards their homes, locking doors and windows. The stranger smiled and asked, why are you all so frightened. I am a simple traveler, looking for a soft place to stay for the night and a warm place for a meal. "There's not a bite to eat in the whole province," he was told. "We are weak and our children are starving. Better keep moving on." "Oh, I have everything I need," he said. "In fact, I was thinking of making some stone soup to share with all of you." He pulled an iron cauldron from his cloak, filled it with water, and began to build a fire under it. Then, with great ceremony, he drew an ordinary-looking stone from a silken bag and dropped it into the water. By now, hearing the rumor of food, most of the villagers had come out of their homes or watched from their windows. As the stranger sniffed the "broth" and licked his lips in anticipation, hunger began to overcome their fear. "Ahh," the stranger said to himself rather loudly, "I do like a tasty stone soup. Of course, stone soup with cabbage -- that's hard to beat." Soon a villager approached hesitantly, holding a small cabbage he'd retrieved from its hiding place, and added it to the pot. "Wonderful!!" cried the stranger. "You know, I once had stone soup with cabbage and a bit of salt beef as well, and it was fit for a king." The village butcher managed to find some salt beef . . .  And so it went, through potatoes, onions, carrots, mushrooms, and so on, until there was indeed a delicious meal for everyone in the village to share. The village elder offered the stranger a great deal of money for the magic stone, but he refused to sell it and traveled on the next day. As he left, the stranger came upon a group of village children standing near the road. He gave the silken bag containing the stone to the youngest child, whispering to a group, "It was not the stone, but the villagers that had performed the magic." 

+
By working together, everyone contributes what they can, achieving a greater good together.

+
Think about your work while doing it - every day on every project. Have a feeling of continuous improvement. 

+
    
+
  • Be a realist.
    • 
+
  • Smell challenges.
    • 
+
  • Care about your craft.
    • 
+
  • Code can always be flawed, but it can meet the requirements.
    • 
+
  • You should be proud of your code, though.
    • 
+

+
No one writes perfect code, including you. However:

+
    
+
  • Paranoia is good thinking.
    • 
+
  • Practice defensive programming and crash early.
    • 
+
  • Crashing is often the best thing you can do. 
    • 
+
  • Changes should be reversible.
    • 
+

+
Erlang: Defensive programming is a waste of time. Let it crash. "This can never happen" - don't practise that kind of self-deception when programming. 

+
Leave assertions in the code, even in production. Only leave out the assertions causing the performance issues.

+
Take small steps, always. Get feedback, too, for each of the steps the code does. Avoid fortune telling. If you have to involve in it, then the step is too large.

+
Decouple the code (e.g. OOP or functional programming). Prefer interfaces for types and mixins for a class extension over class inheritance.

+
    
+
  • Refactor now and not later.
    • 
+
  • Later, it will be even more painful.
    • 
+

+
Don't think outside the box. Find the box. The box is more extensive than you think. Think about the hard problem at hand. Do you have to do it a certain way, or do you have to do it at all?

+
Do what works and not what's fashionable. E.g. does SCRUM make sense? The goal is to deliver deliverables and not to "become" agile.

+
Continuous learning

+
Add new tools to your repertoire every day and keep the momentum up. Learning new things is your most crucial aspect. Invest regularly in your knowledge portfolio. The learning process extends your thinking. It does not matter if you will never use it.

+
    
+
  • Learn a new programming language every year.
    • 
+
  • Read a technical book every month.
    • 
+
  • Take courses.
    • 
+

+
Think critically about everything you learn. Use paper for your notes. There is something special about it.

+
Stay connected

+
It's your life, and you own it. Bruce Lee once said: 

+
"I am not on the world to life after your expectations, neither are you to life after mine."

+
    
+
  • Go to meet-ups and actively engage.
    • 
+
  • Stay current.
    • 
+
  • Dealing with computers is hard. Dealing with people is harder. 
    • 
+

+
It's your life. Share it, celebrate it, be proud and have fun.

+
The story of stone soup

+
How to motivate others to contribute something (e.g. ideas to a startup):

+
A kindly, old stranger was walking through the land when he came upon a village. As he entered, the villagers moved towards their homes, locking doors and windows. The stranger smiled and asked, why are you all so frightened. I am a simple traveler, looking for a soft place to stay for the night and a warm place for a meal. "There's not a bite to eat in the whole province," he was told. "We are weak and our children are starving. Better keep moving on." "Oh, I have everything I need," he said. "In fact, I was thinking of making some stone soup to share with all of you." He pulled an iron cauldron from his cloak, filled it with water, and began to build a fire under it. Then, with great ceremony, he drew an ordinary-looking stone from a silken bag and dropped it into the water. By now, hearing the rumor of food, most of the villagers had come out of their homes or watched from their windows. As the stranger sniffed the "broth" and licked his lips in anticipation, hunger began to overcome their fear. "Ahh," the stranger said to himself rather loudly, "I do like a tasty stone soup. Of course, stone soup with cabbage -- that's hard to beat." Soon a villager approached hesitantly, holding a small cabbage he'd retrieved from its hiding place, and added it to the pot. "Wonderful!!" cried the stranger. "You know, I once had stone soup with cabbage and a bit of salt beef as well, and it was fit for a king." The village butcher managed to find some salt beef . . .  And so it went, through potatoes, onions, carrots, mushrooms, and so on, until there was indeed a delicious meal for everyone in the village to share. The village elder offered the stranger a great deal of money for the magic stone, but he refused to sell it and traveled on the next day. As he left, the stranger came upon a group of village children standing near the road. He gave the silken bag containing the stone to the youngest child, whispering to a group, "It was not the stone, but the villagers that had performed the magic." 

+
By working together, everyone contributes what they can, achieving a greater good together.

Evil mode allows Vi(m) key bindings (so to speak, it's emulating Vim within Emacs), and I am pretty sure I won't be ready to give up all the muscle memory I have built over more than a decade.. .....to read on please visit my site.
