@GLMotorSports Yea, I used ant for years and managed my own dependencies. That worked well enough for me. I can see the value of Ivy, though

@polgardy agreed. Buildr is a more general-purpose, ruby-scripted build tool. SBT is ideal for Scala.

@paytonrules Isn't there a :force option or a separate cp_rf method?

So true for me! RT @debasishg: ... 2009 has been a great learning year for me too, and Twitter has been an excellent catalyst towards that

2009 wasn't a great year for the world, but publishing a book was a long-held dream come true. Thanks for your help, @al3x!

@polgardy By the way, there are other great articles on Wadler's web site, like "Why No One Uses Functional Programming".

A major reason I want to learn Haskell is that most of the FP research papers use it. I want hang with the cool academics...

@polgardy Thanks for providing the link. It's more of an article than a book, I would say.

@polgardy I started doing those 99 exercises in Scala some months ago (but didn't finish). I should do them in Haskell.

@HotFusionMan Yes, some of those things, like Akka and Lift, are libraries, not new languages.

@psnively I would like to read those too. I have "Design Concepts in Prog. Langs." Its massive!

@debasishg I'm trying to do almost all the exercises in Scheme, Clojure and Scala. http://github.com/deanwam... Time consuming!!

@polgardy Perhaps. What do you have in mind? I was intended to work through Real World Haskell at some point.

Read Philip Wadler's "The Essence of Functional Programming" (1992) last night. It's really an explanation of monads. (Haskell warning! ;)

@pandamonial what's the value of maximizing productivity? That's why I pay the APPL tax. ;)
