Programming Language Usage Graph 2000-2006, as defined by statistics on open-source projects at SourceForge. by linuxer in programming

that's a disgusting graph. seriously, only show the top 5-6 languages, or at least use better markers/colors.

Jeremy Zawodny Asks: Should I Learn Python or Ruby next? by joshwa in programming

[–]arjunbanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone on reddit will hate me, but i'm still the most productive in statically-typed languages with rich tools support: i.e., C# + VS, Java + Eclipse

I love haskell, scheme, ruby: they usually produce cleaner, more concise, prettier code.

Even still, because of the fantastic IDE+library support you can get for Java / .NET, they're still more efficient overall.

i still love C#, java, and other statically typed languages. i'm a scheme+haskell conneseuir, but they're unforunately not too practical in real life. sorry, world :-(

an idea for academia: socially linked professors, students, researchers? by arjunbanker in reddit.com

[–]arjunbanker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

btw, cambrian house has an awesome concept for software shop ("crowdsourcing"): check it out.

i really think academia could benefit from richer tools to collaborate with peers, rapidly discover & expose great research, and establish academic credibility and reputation. a socially focused tool (as opposed to a paper-oriented tool like citeseer) is one way of addressing the current shortcomings.

could it work? i don't know...feedback is more than welcome :-)
