I agree -- there's a draw to making things as idiomatic and terse as possible, which only detracts from a language like F# expect for seasoned FP devs. I'll ping you when I publish the article on writing a web server from scratch, but with an F# implementation, and see what you think.

Sounds great. I am interested to see it. Thanks for including me.

Obviously it's because F# is just G... And G is a stupid name for a language. At least C# = D-flat, which looks a little like Db, so it's a great language for database stuff.
See? Completely logical (In no way whatsoever).

Hm, am I the C# evangelist then, as I use C# at my job, together with DB work and at home playing guitar in C# ?
Well one of them, the other one is Drop D, which is DD and has a different meaning

E# is F, but F# is G flat not G. (Sorry )

Bleh... That's what I get for trying to be clever today... Got woken up at 3am, so running on less sleep than usual...
But G-flat is still a stupid name for a language

As more and more users store their data on the Internet, does the need for local hard drives diminish? No, says just about everyone one else

You will never get my C: from me, or my D drive for that matter.
I horde them.

If they knew their data was going to the cloud then they may put a stop to it.

Local data isn't going to die anytime soon. I won't store my personal data in the cloud for MSFT, GOOG, AMZN, IBM or anyone else so they can query and mine my data. Heck, I don't even store my work in the cloud, it's all in TFS.

The Government will never take my guns. And the cloud will never take my hard drives.

Absolutely they will. Because everyone knows there is zero latency accessing files stored on the cloud, so why would I need a local copy of that multi-gigabyte file that I'm working on?

The problem with the term “cloud computing” is that it has been stretched, molded and tortured to mean almost anything and has been applied to cover decades-old hosted solutions. So, they've joined the rest of us?

It's amusing when a word becomes so over-used while most of the technologies that the term professes to enhance our lives with don't even exist, or at least not with any degree of maturity. I guess I'll have to coin a new phrase - "vapor-term"

Faulty foundations, AWOL contractors, bugs piling up -- here’s what to do before taking a sledgehammer to a faltering pile of code. "How do you heal a broken heart, that feels like it will never beat this much again?"

I would have expected to see at least one "wrecking crew" participant from Obamacare.

With a stent[^] - and as an analogy you fix faulty software in a similar way...carefully, with minimal invasiveness and preferably with experts and support in place
1) Add as much monitoring as you can first before you do anything (unit tests etc.)
2) Get everyone you need together in one place and explain exactly what is to be done
3) Only do what heals the problem - resist the urge to do some additional cosmetic surgery "just because the patient is already on the table"
4) Make lifestyle changes to prevent the problem recurring

Brilliant analogy, and I think we need to get you a trademark on "Software Stent"

..and because people keep neglecting step #4 there will always be a market.

The unspoken reality is that the U.S. patent system faces an even bigger problem: a market so constricted by high transaction costs and legal risks that it excludes the vast majority of small and mid-sized businesses and prevents literally 95 percent of all patented discoveries from ever being put to use to create new products and services, new jobs, and new economic growth.

As far as there are still ways to make money with the current ones, why bring something out that can kill the current golden eggs chicken, better wait and replace it first after its death
