I have heard a few people argue that when it comes to performance critical code you should prefer arrays over other collections (such as F#’s lists) as it benefits from sequential reads (which is faster than seeks) and offers better memory locality. To te[...]

We dont event know how old instruments are  The earliest type of instrument is thought to be flutes. According to wikipedia this technology could be as old as 43,400 and 67,000 years. Simple devices for making rhythm where probably made: drums, rattles. [...]

I’m proud to announce that we have released another new slot – Wealthy Whale – to JackpotJoy Slots, it is also the first All Pays slots we have implemented on our F# slots engine! In an All Pays slot, there are no ‘pay lines’, instead, any matching symbol[...]

The annual CUFP workshop is a place where people can see how others are using functional programming to solve real world problems; where practitioners meet and collaborate; where language designers and users can share ideas about the future of their favor[...]

In the last post I wrote about the PersistentVector which I ported from Clojure to .NET. It’s implemented as an immutable hash array mapped trie which optimizes the constant factors so that we can assume O(1) for count, nth, conj, assocN, peek and pop. Bu[...]

Rich Hickey created a very nice set of persistent collections for Clojure. I started to port them to FSharpx and today I want to present the PersistentVector. The basic idea is that we want to have something like an array but immutable. Vectors (IPersiste[...]

EuroClojure for me was also about community and diversity. The community aspect of EuroClojure was obvious from the start. It was a great selection of friendly and welcoming people, which has always been my experience in the clojure community. During … Co[...]
