Graham's epic #struggle with Scheme continues: the language that defies his sticky notes and blog titles alike. 🤦‍♂️ After years of bouncing off, you'd think he'd choose a new hobby, like knitting or underwater basket weaving. 🧶💦 But no, he prefers public self-flagellation on his quest to maybe, someday, understand #parentheses. 🎯

I keep bouncing off the Scheme language

I have a huge appreciation for the Scheme programming language. I just seem to be unable to get it to stick in my head. This seems like a huge revelation for someone who named their blog after the Scheme textbook, but there it is. This post is the public admission I need to make, to...

If someone had told me a few months ago I’d be playing with .NET again after a 15+ years hiatus I probably would have laughed at this.1 Early on in my career I played with .NET and Java, and even though .NET had done some things better than Java (as it had the opportunity to learn from some early Java mistakes), I quickly settled on Java as it was a truly portable environment. I had some C# courses in the university and I wrote my bachelor’s thesis in C#. It was a rewrite of Arch Linux’s pacman, running on Mono. This was way back in 2007. ↩
