I started programming when I was 7 while sitting on my father's lap, typing BASIC into a TRS-80 CoCo as he read out the instructions from magazines.Currently working at Cactus Commerce on the Commerce Server product team.

Rx is now Open Source
Nov 07, 2012 at 9:32 AMThis is great for everyone, because there's so much Rx can do for any language and platform ... like LINQ, the general pattern is useful everywhere ... I'm very happy to hear this news. I hope to find time to contribute as well.

Sep 14, 2012 at 4:20 PMRich Hickey - The Database as a Value
Sep 09, 2012 at 8:08 AMVery good talk, love the poor bear (EDIT: I mean monkey! ).
It's really great to have Erik and Rich tackling what is and what can be - bringing theory to bear on broad practical problems and making it understandable to Mort's like me.
Datomic looks great, and I wonder how ideas like the Timewarp OS would look if recast with Datomic in the mix.
The documentation for Datomic looks really complete and well written so far. Very nice. The logo is also very nice!
Erik Meijer - Functional Programming From First Principles
Sep 08, 2012 at 7:25 AMAt first Erik sounds controversial, like he's given up on functional programming ... but the bridge of imperative and functional ... that's what I thought LINQ and Rx were all about all along. Strive for purity, but we also have to make side-effects explicit and controllable.
Tying Task and Lazy into the picture in the way you have, Erik, seems really good. Does this mean Task<T> can be implemented through ManySelect?
I'm not sure if I believe reality is actually truly imperative, once you add time into the mix, but I get the point. We can't time travel, so we are stuck for now.
Expert to Expert: Erik Meijer and Rich Hickey - Clojure and Datomic
Aug 31, 2012 at 5:23 PMVery interesting ... along with the InfoQ talk on values etc... which Rich did recently, I'm really going to have to try Clojure ... hard to understand why I haven't yet. Datomic sounds great as well and I'll have to do some research on that as well. I am not sure if "continuations are the goto of functional programming", but now I'll have to think about that too. Great E2E, thanks to all!
