Yet another language battle. This time, it’s R vs. Python. Or was that Python vs. R?
A Huge Debate: R vs. Python for Data Science

I don’t know R, so I cannot comment on this one.
Interesting article from Chris Done about speeding up development with Haskell.
Mastering Time-to-Market with Haskell
https://www.fpcomplete.com/blog/2016/11/mastering-time-to-market-haskell
However, I wonder what the author thinks are Haskells “competitors”. I don’t like this competition.
If it hurts when you type, try this advice from Itamar Turner-Trauring: warm clothes.
How I stopped the RSI pain that almost destroyed my programming career

Interesting. You should definitely try this before all those pills.
Itamar Turner-Trauring has written an interesting piece about Software Engineers Work/Life Balance.
Work/Life Balance Will Make You a Better Software Engineer
https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/11/10/work-life-balance-software-engineer/
Interesting advice. Hard to follow.
Interesting article by Dan Ghica about usability of programming languages and programming paradigms.
What else are we getting wrong?

As long as humans do the programming, there will always be religious wars, I think.
Just found this Python 3 implementation for micro controllers.

Maybe this is just happy coincidence, but I continue stumbling over articles about old programmers. John Wheeler even created an online job search for old programmers.
Old Geek Jobs

Looks like there’s some demand.
Dennis Felsing has written a nice tutorial about Haskell.
A Taste of Haskell

Let’s see, if I can make use of this.
Christian Maioli Mackeprang writes about software estimation.
Project delays: why good software estimates are impossible
http://chrismm.com/blog/project-delays-why-software-estimates/
He talks about the problem of estimating the implementation. But I think the bigger problem are missing requirements. How to estimate if people have no idea what they want?
Recently, I read an article by Ben Northrop. About old programmers. Meaning over 40. Now I came across an article of this topic by Neil McAllister on InfoWorld.
Where do all the old programmers go?
http://www.infoworld.com/article/2617093/it-careers/it-careers-where-do-all-the-old-programmers-go.html
Interestingly, he too uses the age limit of 40.
Interesting work from J.P. Lewis, Stanford University, about software estimation.
Mathematical Limits to Software Estimation: Supplementary Material

No, it’s not simple.
Fortran wird 60. Und ist in guter Verfassung.
1957 betrat die erste höhere Programmiersprache die öffentliche Bühne, im Oktober 1956 jedoch wurde schon eine erste Beschreibung von Fortran veröffentlicht, die nun demnach ihr 60-jähriges Jubiläum feiert.
Auf die nächsten 60 Jahre! 🙂
