The Golden 20s of the 20th century began with the end of WW1 and ended with the stock market crash of 1929.

TLDR; This problem has been solved for 40 years but the software development industry is still very fashion-oriented.

Ada (previously) is a time-tested, safe, secure programming software-engineering language with a 40-year record of success in mission-critical applications such as… Air Traffic Management Systems Desktop and Web Applications Commercial Aviation Banking and

The Raspberry Pi 4 is a leap forward not just for the Pi but for single-board computers across the board.

Ada is the only pragmatic language that is still growing in a healthy way that meets the Steelman language requirements (created by US DoD circa 1978).

As I’ve been spending a lot of time with Arm hardware lately as my primary desktop and server platform I missed using my secure messenger app of choice.

Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) is used widely today in Semantic Search and has many other uses in Deep Machine Learning.

Here are some initial thoughts on Rust in the almost two years since I last looked at it along with some implementations of merge and quick sort.

A few months back I took a look at Elixir.

I’ve been hearing more about Elixir lately so I thought I’d take it for a spin.

It looks like it might be coming sooner than I thought.

A Shen type-checked implementation of Quick Sort is even more elegant/terse compared with the CL version posted previously.

After watching some of Tim Roughgarden’s videos on sorting algorithms, I thought I’d post an implementation of quick sort in Common Lisp as an example of a sorting algorithm implemented in CL.

Here’s a port of the previous Qi II code to Shen.
