The idea is that as you start to find patterns in your application, you can encode them in a little language—this language would then allow you to express these patterns in a more compact manner than would be possible by other means of abstraction. Not only could this buck the trend of ever-growing applications, it would actually allow the code base to shrink during the course of development!
Since my brain injury (which I’ve since learned can be called an “ABI” or “acquired brain injury”) I’ve noticed that I have trouble focusing on programming tasks; I’m able to do what I need to do for work and family but, when it comes time for hobby projects I’m just gloop. Totally oozy.
Because of that I’ve been drawn to do more reading and game playing, but also still wanna code…I’ve found that it is easier to use more “batteries included” kinda languages, namely scheme, over what I’d normally gravitate towards, like Forth.
This has lead me to some interesting thoughts of the “accessibility” of programming languages.
I’ve been reading a lot. As of today, I’m 34 books deep into this year. I’m really pleased with my choice to revive my reading habit. I’ve read a smattering of fiction, new-to-me, and re-reads, as well as a number of nonfiction books — mostly programming books.
Maybe I’ll do a round up post at the end of the year? In the meantime some standouts include:
My VPS suffered a wonderfully catastrophic failure during an upgrade, you may notice some of my web presence is currently down while I re-configure some things over the next few…weeks?
…probably months.
Blog will keep trucking, though!
