Since Brian and I are both busy and distracted, I thought I would share with you some of my favorite blog posts in the past. Some of them are from me, some of them are for Brian — check the byline to figure out which. There’s definitely a lot of them, but that’s just because [...]

One of the things that has always fascinated me about dynamic languages is how you go about testing them. See, the trick is that when I write a closed implementation of some sort — whether it be a closed class or module — I’ve got some concept of the boundaries that my object’s state could [...]

I’ve decided to change a bit of direction with JConch‘s CacheMap. Due to difficulties with Generics (which have caused some people to really hate on them), I’ve decided to offer two kinds of CacheMap: the standard CacheMap, and the new Generics-free ObjectCacheMap. For the record: the standard CacheMap uses a new typed transformer functor, whereas [...]

I’ve posted some CacheMap examples over on the JConch pages. Go, take a look, and let me know what your comments are. Hopefully this makes things a bit more obvious. I’ve also updated the CacheMap implementation so that it doesn’t spin when the transformer generates null values, and you can put null values into the [...]
