While the modern programming language Haxe is well-known in some circles, many developers have never heard of it. Yet since it first appeared in 2005, it's been battle-tested by its loyal---if rather quiet---following. It boasts a pragmatic and mature combination of features for development in business, gaming, and even academic contexts.
My earlier posts about using Vim were well received and it’s about time for an update. I’ve been doing a lot more work with Vim lately and have spent some time configuring my workflow for peak efficiency, so here’s a snapshot of my current state.

The good news about Erlang can be summed up at this: Erlang is the culmination of twenty-five years of correct design decisions in the language and platform. Whenever I've wondered about how something in Erlang works, I have never been disappointed in the answer. I almost always leave with the impression that the designers did the “right thing”. I suppose this is in contrast to Java, which does the pedantic thing, Perl, which does the kludgy thing, Ruby, which has two independent implementations of the wrong thing, and C, which doesn't do anything.
I was working on an university project with some course mates when I had this conversation. My course mate said: “I don’t understand this design with APIs; why don’t we just make life easier for them…

I have a major pet peeve that I need to confess. I go insane when I hear programmers talking about statistics like they know shit when it’s clearly obvious they do not. I’ve been studying it for years and years and still don’t think I know anything. This article is my call for all programmers…
