[Lift] Re: A Critique On Lift

All,

the _ name is also used frequently in C++ for template-based lambdas.  At
least it is in many of the Boost libraries.

   I think this is a bit of a running joke in the scala comunity right

   think this will be changed in some future Scala release.
 
   Your also forgetting:

[Lift] Re: is there a name for this pattern?

Eric,

I believe that something like that, in C++ at least, is referred to as the
curiously recurring template pattern.

 The basic trick where a superclass has its subclass as a type parameter,

 class User extends MegaProtoUser[User]

 I've run into this before, I remember struggling to get it, then
 getting it, but I can't recall the epiphany.  But obviously this is a
 relatively common technique, so something to google is much appreciated.

 Thanks,

Viktor,

Interesting.  I'm starting the very initial development on a little
commercial product and I'm thinking about using Neo4J as the back end.  I'll
need to eyeball their license again to make sure that it's compatible with
what I want to do.

 It takes some serious training to think compositionally.


No doubt it is extremely tough to think compositionally, and it's all too
easy to fall back on non-compositional ways of thinking.  In a similar vein
it's all too easy to fall into procedural patterns when learning or working
with functional programming in a multi-paradigm language.  But what are good
ways for programmers to learn to think compositionally and, more
importantly, practice?  Do you know of any books or online references that
might help make the transition for anyone who is interested?

[Lift] Re: Wolfram Alpha integration for Lift

2009-06-11 Thread Jeremy Day
I haven't played much with WolframAlpha, but I get the impression that it
does better with quantitative results.  For instance, if you were inclined
to compare the number of people in Chicago to the number of people in Alaska
you might create a query like this:

http://www33.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=population+of+chicago+%2F+population+of+alaska

 Hey Greg,

 Im not sure that drawing comparisons to google is right? IMO, they
 dont do the same job...? I see why one would see similarities, but
 isnt google's purpose to find the sources of information, where as
 wolfram's aim is to provide an objective set of answers based on
 human input;

   Hey Ty,
 
   Essentially the wolfram API is a REST / XMLRPC hybrid, so my plan is
   to model a scala abstraction around Apache HTTP (similar to the paypal
   integration) - speaking of which, i might actually abstract some of
   the common factories out of lift-paypal into lift-util if applicable.
 
   The interesting challenge will be that with wolfram, it can return a
   whole bunch of things, they could be graphs, text, sound - so i'll
   need some abstract way of making that presentable - perhaps some
   decoupled thing with a core communication group, then some lift
   specific abstractions for hooking into bind() or something...
 
   I've not figured it out yet in my head, so any thoughts are most
   welcome.
