I was reading the paper and got stuck somewhere when I saw this:

> With Mio, realistic HTTP servers in Haskell scale to 20 CPU cores, achieving peak performance up to factor of 6.5x compared to the same servers using previous versions of GHC. The latency of Haskell servers is also improved: <snip> under a moderate load, reduces expected response time by 5.7x when compared with previous versions of GHC

> Available with GHC 7.8.1

Nice job.

agreed

I think You are assuming that the learner here is already a (imperative or OOP categorized) programmer who is willing to learn these two languages.

For ruby still there would be some topics you need to know about before trying to learn language itself, if you are just starting out.

Now, It's "New Haskell developers" vs "New Ruby/RoR developers". Isn't it?

I guess that's why he is calling it js engineering?

Why there's no updated book out there (in the cold!) ?

cool :)

I may have found a (kinda) bug; At the last page i was trying to flip to the next page but it grabbed the previous page.

I don't like it but that's my opinion ;)

Debian stable + KDE apps and Awesome as my WM.

No template constraints yet?

At least C++(11) is a (better) statically typed language :) Although, This isn't even half of it! thanks god the girl didn't know anything about templates.

I wonder how's salary comparing to other programming languages?

lol yeah But she is a C programmer you know ? ;)

The thing is in ruby you are already in main method so there's no need to declare main function as an entry point. The main reason that the c++ version the code is longer has some historical/performance related issues! In c++11 it could've been with smaller standard library at design but that could break the old codes! Although obviously, "Little code =! Better code". What you want to achieve is actually more important. Btw, C++ as a scripting language? at first you might think that way but truly that's a big lie :)

Also, he's mostly passing by value.

unhandled exception, maybe :P

I just wonder why nobody hasn't mentioned C++11 yet :) ( so i'd be the one :P ) Btw, Compilers (almost all of them e.g: clang, gcc) completed all the standard.

"Those companies" referring to google and MS.

Obscure? You may think so but sometimes these things buy you lots of time.

Agreed :) This one has them ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/gnu/gcc/releases/gcc-4.8.0/

Yes. http://gcc.gnu.org/ News

Yupe. :|

That's fun. Cause I remember this "x+++y;" as a question in one of my university entrance exams!

You think so but no :)

Yes. and it sucks even more when the city your living is a crowded one.

The reason of not deprecating ugly features of c++ in new c++11 standard was the production codes in industry which still want to live.

costs of performance?

+1 for video.

Yes, Indeed.

While projects like linux(kernel) or gcc compiler still use c98 as their default standard. why would it? Also M$ in its IDE doesn't care that much about c99.
