> I hope the next decade will be oriented around integrating stateful message-oriented (reactive?) programming into the mainstream full stack

Also known as MVC before Rails decided to redefine the term.


Java redefined the term MVC a long time after Smalltalk originally defined the term in the 70's. Rails didn't redefine the term, it much later copied the (poorly) redefined term from Java and tweaked it a little. Smalltalk MVC and Java/Rails MVC are EXTREMELY different. Java and Ruby's MVC are quite similar (and loosely based on a superficial misunderstanding Smalltalk's MVC).


No, MVC is at best orthogonal to message-passing.


Maybe? Most good ideas have been out there for decades. Getting the execution right is what’s hard.


Man, this brings back memories: I was visiting this and k10k.net daily for inspiration.


FileReader support is not fully implemented (addEventListener is not present). Just ran into this last week.

There has been an open issue for this for three years[1].

If you are looking for an on-line resource nick_dm's suggestion for http://www.learnprolognow.org/ is spot on.

If you would like a book, I cannot recommend "The Art of Prolog" by Sterling and Shapiro enough. It gives a very understandable introduction to the language and is focused on teaching you how to approach different problem spaces while "thinking" in Prolog.


What is the added value beyond what `bundle outdated` does?


For me it's the RSS feed



I would be interested in a patched version of Monaco as well.


About a year ago, they claimed they were developing a web-based editor. That is some significant focus shift.

Does anyone have information on what triggered it?


(Silk co-founder here)

We haven't changed course. As Ixiaus mentions, there are several chicken and egg problems involved around the 'semantic web'.

We're starting with specific content publishers right now that use a combination of our web-based editor (which looks like a normal editor, but allows structured content creation) and APIs to get information in to Silk. This allows them to create sites where people can play around with the structured data, create visualizations, etc.

Longer-term, we'll open up the editor to the general public. Our goal is to do to structured content what Blogger and Wordpress did to weblogs.


A much more recent and complete book on the same topic:

Regardless of XCode 4 free or paid, it would be nice to have a compiler separate from XCode. Installing the whole IDE you never use has always seemed like an overkill.


I couldn't agree more! I do all my work on a 11" MacAir with 64Gb HD and having something I never use take up 4Gb is just silly!


I agree with both of you, but at the end of the day, you can just delete all the unneeded stuff from the /Developer folder.
