I have time to experiment with different programming languages and while I'm a big fan of functional or functional style programming, my recent obsession is with #Go
It is a tremendously simple language, without surprises or elaborate mechanisms, procedural and totally boring.. and I love it.
Most satisfying thing is life reload with air and it's usually already compiled and…

How to Take the Inverse of a Type (ECOOP 2022 - Research Papers) - ECOOP 2022
ECOOP is Europe’s longest-standing annual Programming Languages (PL) conference, and welcomes high quality research papers relating to the PL field in a broad sense. This year the conference will feature dedicated paper categories for reproduction studies, experience reports, reflective “pearls”, and forward-thinking “new idea” papers. We are also pleased to have two Journal First routes for submission to ECOOP, with the ACM TOPLAS and Science of Computer Programming journals.

People keep claiming that modern OOP languages aren’t “really OOP” because they don’t follow Alan Kay’s definition of “OOP”. I can see the logic here, even if I disagree the conclusion. More recently I’ve seen people start claiming that Kay invented objects entirely. This is factually incorrect. Alan Kay did not invent objects. They come from Simula, which the Smalltalk-72 manual cites as a major inspiration (pg 117). The famous 1981 Byte magazine issue that popularized Smalltal…

Startup CTO, writer and coach Dr. Milan Milanović shares a love letter to C# in 2025, and why its adherents believe it's such a good choice. He discusses, amongst other topics:
1. Language Features
2. The .NET Ecosystem
3. Tooling
4. Libraries and NuGet
5. Documentation
6. Community
7. Popularity
8. C# vs Other Languages, and
9. The Future of C#
He also shares a brief history of the language.
"Why C#?"

Why C#?
I might have been skeptical if someone had told me years ago that C# would become my programming language of choice for most projects.
