However, to me its a time waster, everything this guy says is either obvious, blurry, or an idea from another book. His ‘techniques’ are things that you already do subconsciously while refactoring code, and they’re really so straight forward they’re intuitive...
In the first part of the series , I examined Newton-Lagrange interpolation, using functional language idioms. So far only F# have been put to the pit, but now Ruby and C# have dropped in. Geek alert : this post might become text-intensive and boring, however looking at the code itself should be enough to get the groove. Ruby This is everyone's favorite toy . And it has a good reason to be - it has most of the idioms functional languages use (and you'll see that by comparing the F# code),...
Welcome to the Pit . In this series I'll try and explore idiomatic functional language usages with C# 3.0, F#, Ruby (IronRuby), Python (IronPython), and Scheme. I will provide a short description for each snippet just to get motivated, and will close the series with performance and numerical stability analysis. Test Subject Like any good test, there has to be a good test subject. Now, while I could do a dull iteration / manipulation of a list of ice-cream flavors, I picked something a bit more...
