Mark Jason Dominus is blogging
For those who don’t know who MJD is, he is:
The author of the Higher-Order Perl book.
The speaker behind the Strong Typing and Perl talk (subtitle:
Strong Typing Doesn’t Have to Suck
) and many other talks.The author of such timeless gems as Why I Hate Advocacy and Critique of the Perl 6 RFC Process.
And of insightful ones like as POD is not Literate Programming and Perl Meets COBOL.
As well as a heap of excellent Perl modules.
And some very clever, very obfuscated code.
Not to mention his file of good programming advice.
And now he’s blogging. Run, don’t walk, to subscribe.
Even if you don’t write any Perl. To quote Mark Jason:
I don’t think of myself as a Perl Programmer. I program in maybe half a dozen languages regularly, whatever’s convenient. I’ve been a programmer since about 1978. When folks call me a Perl Programmer, it never seems to occur to them that ten years ago they would have thought I was “C Programmer” and twenty years ago I would have been a “Fortran Programmer.”
He has a lot to say on all manner of fields that relate to computer science or logic in general; and you should listen.
