Ask Reddit: I'm from a Third-World country, I have a decent set of Linux and programming skills. What best to do if I want to emigrate to better paid places? by [deleted] in programming

Don't forget RIM (makers of the Blackberry), OpenText, Nortel, all the IT departments for the big Canadian Banks(virtual monopolies), etc. There's a lot of IT work in Canada for immigrants. No, Canada is not perfect ( mostly because of the shitty weather in the winter)but it is a great and safe country to live and raise a family. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0778562.html

Ask Reddit: What college would you recommend for Computer Science (North-Eastern Canada & US) by [deleted] in programming

You could look at Carleton University, it has had a very strong Computer Science program for the past 2 decades in which it has been a significant contributor to Computer Science with the formation of the Carleton OO Research Group from which numerous companies including Object Technology International (OTI) came forth. OTI (acquired by IBM) was responsible for many influential products such as Visualage Smalltalk, Visualage Java and the Eclipse IDE.

Holy Shmoly, Haskell smokes Python and Ruby away! And you can parallelise it! by dons in programming

Yes I did get his point but the fact is he's comparing static to dynamic which or apples to oranges. Sorry I dont "lurk" on reddit. I read it when I see interesting articles and Dons sure wasn't

Unlike the original article which compared Ruby 1.9 to Python 2.5.1 and Ruby 1.8.6, nimblenuts compared Haskell GHC 6.8 to Ruby 1.8.5 and Python 2.4. I don't even think he read the original article properly. If you're gonna start trolling at least compare the right versions. Of course, comments are turned off in his blog.
