We need languages and systems that are less powerful, not more powerful, and easy ways to create and use such languages.

Why I think we need the context of a language to have meaningful debate about language features.

Some ideas about solving translation problems with computer generated text.

An example of why dynamic typing in a statically typed language can be painful

Based on my recent Haskell experience, I highlight some cases where I think static type checks provide a better testing mechanism than unit tests or other automated tests.

I finally finished a non-trivial Haskell project!

The title is ironic...

This is my suggestion about what needs to go into the Haskell Platform...

Is this a bizarre GHC bug? Or a bug in me?

I need some help! I did someone a good deed on a blog the other day, so I'm swallowing my pride and asking for a random kind deed from someone who knows something...

Haskell API documentation is very lacking for newbies. For instance, I want to understand how to do create and use regexes...

Haskell Regex replace, anyone?

I am really stubborn, so I never completely gave up on my little pet project of re-writing my blog as a Haskell CGI app. I also didn't give up on using my budget host. (Partly because I have even less money than before). So, the saga continues...

Where I give up...

I'm going to demonstrate using functions to build dictionaries in Haskell, requiring only normal functions and the 'Maybe' data type...

Struggles with database...

Got DB access working

I've decided I want to rewrite my current blog software in Haskell...

Help! The old 'HaWiki' Haskell wiki has disappeared...

I'm trying to use Haskell for a database app, and, as usual for Haskell, I'm finding the lack of decent documentation a real pain...

My results on the O'Reilly's code quiz...

Why Haskell's 'Maybe' totally pwns Python's 'None' and null pointers.

A rant about how annoying programming in C# is, really.
