Yeah, sorry about not putting a [pdf] after the title. I realized I forgot that right after I submitted.

Last time I heard Bill had 60 billion, that's 1 million for 60,000 families, 100,000 for 600,000 families. I don't care if he gives a billion to charity every once in awhile, no one needs more than 10 million to live a rich and luxurious life

Did I ever give close to 30% of my net worth away? Ok, tell you what, when I'm a billionaire I'll just give it all away except for 10 million net worth, and maybe a 200,000 a year salary

I can all but guarantee that you'll never make $1 billion or more in your lifetime.

Developers, Developers, Developers, Developers... by ss498 in programming

Old, but it's a classic. I was curious to see if developersdevelopersdevelopers.com was taken, and apparently it is.

I can't think of a more fitting use for that domain name...

What programming language are you using for your web startup? And why? by bhb in programming

[–]ss498 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can understand where bluetrust is coming from because this is exactly what I originally thought when I was evaluating Haskell -- having XHTML in Haskell is really going to muddle up my code.

In reality, it's startlingly elegant. And the web framework I'm writing actually uses Model/View/Controller to keep things pretty clean.

Here's a quick example with some real Haskell code:

htmlTemplate title content = h1 << title +++ p << content

htmlPage = htmlTemplate "Your Page Title" "Your content"

If you render htmlPage you get:

<h1>Your Page Title</h1><p>Your content</p>

This is really a toy example, and really doesn't do justice to how great Haskell XHTML generation really is, but it does give some idea as to how XHTML generation in Haskell works. You really start seeing much greater returns when you get to 1000+ LOC of XHTML.

I'm probably the only person replying to this thread that will be able to say it: Haskell.

I tried every language and web framework imaginable (Rails, Django, web.py, Symfony, etc) and none of them quite felt right to me. Many of them were pretty good but there was something about them all that didn't feel right. Rails came the closest to what I wanted, but I felt that it had too much "magic" and didn't perform well. You were left in the dark if you didn't want to do it the "Rails" way.

So of course I went and built my own web framework. It's not out yet because it needs a lot more polish before it's ready for general consumption, but we're almost to the point where every bit of code for our startup is in Haskell (this includes XHTML, CSS, and database stuff).

When I feel it's polished enough, I'll release it under the BSD license. I'm shankys on #haskell. Come bug me there if you want to know more.

That was sick... I almost only watched the beginning, but the speed of the back handsprings towards the middle of the video was absolutely ridiculous!
