Cocoa bridge for Erlang

Who wants a Cocoa bridge for Erlang?

Now, who is willing to pay 50 EUR for a license?

Just wondering...

Job trends: Erlang, Lisp and Haskell

Erlang took off like a rocket at the end of 2007.

Why did it drop off the cliff just a few months later?

AlgoScript: A Lisp by any other name would smell as sweet?

I'm on my third iteration of a translator from EasyLanguage. The first two versions were written in Haskell and OCaml and I'm using Lisp now. My goal is to produce code for a trading engine that runs in a shared library or DLL and can be embedded in other products such as NinjaTrader or TradeStation.

Awesome examples of code box styling with CSS

I'm trying to tweak my TypePad blog to make code examples stand out. I searched for "CSS code box styling" but didn't like anything found.

What styling tips of examples would you suggest?

Lisp for the win!

I'm well into rewriting my EasyLanguage to C# translator in Lisp and need to decide what my C# abstract syntax tree (AST) will look like. The first iteration of the translator was written in Haskell, the next one in OCaml and the reason I'm rewriting in Lisp is because my existing syntax trees look butt-ugly!

C# abstract syntax trees, pretty printing and quasiquoting

Suppose I'm working in C#.

How do I generate C# abstract syntax trees and pretty print them?

Poker tournaments

Another OpenPoker sale since last post. Some interest in buying the whole thing outright but still no serious takers.

Mnesia Unlimited

Mnesia is the Erlang embbedded distributed DBMS, that supports high scalability and fault tolerance through replication. Mnesia has been used to great success in all kinds of applications but it's not without limitations. The limitations mainly stem from the underlying ETS and DETS mechanisms used to implement Mnesia tables.
