Impossibrah

I respect _why heaps. He has managed to influence the world with his creativity and programming skillz. I hope our humble abode will be able to influence the world like he did.

Today, I looked at Camping - the micro framework. The magic involved is simply astounding. I haven't looked at its source code yet, but who does this? I mean, look at this magic:

Camping.goes :awry

Even dhh and his Rails baby can't accomplish this feat. Even Sinatra can't! (It's a Ruby implementation of web.py. Even I can see that. But all the hype is that it's a DSL. Maybe it is, but at first glance it reminds of me of web.py [Note to self: web.rb?!])

We as programmers have to implement more of this magic in our code. Just like git, the best software is the software that just works. Though our code may get more complicated (pray it's not spaghetti, man), it benefits others around us, surely it's worth it? Git has already thousands of code, as well as >= 15 c headers, yet it has made thousands of coders' lives easier.

In a not-so-recent post, Malfox has highlighted why Haskell sucks. I'm still pushing him, but he's decided to take a break for a bit. Personally, Haskell didn't strike me until my third time. Before that I was using mostly using Java, C and C#. So I was used to writing my own stuff in a pretty logical/illogical way.Then I heard of Haskell.

When I first tried it, I felt like I was in cold turkey. WHY DOESN'T THIS WORK? I abandoned Haskell for a bit, before plunging myself for the second time. Needless to say, I was still burning after the attempt.

Currently, at Impossibrah, we are launching some awesome stuff (soon to be released). Even at this early stage, I discussed with the others what our philosophy is and what we are aiming to do at Impossibrah.

Thus, our philosophy stands as:

Be your own bitch The act of creating your software for your needs. Don't be a wimp and rely on others. Sure, we stand on the shoulders of giants, but we need to harness that extra tall-ness feeling. If that code is not yours, make it yours.[1]

Code wins arguments Sure, Mark Z and his famous hacker company already stole this one (no pun intended), but we think it's important for anybody and any group out there. Even if we are bicker about what's for dinner, the main winner in the argument is code. We can argue forever about Haskell vs Ruby, but the main question is: does it do the job quicker?

Sure, our philosophy currently seems kinda lame, but I'm hoping in the future that we will so many outlines that we have to engrave some kind of statue or monument. Anyways, look out for our hot cross codes to be released very soon.

Ok, ok. Calm down. I see Jon programming in the corner. Going crazy with Haskell. He told me to try it out this weekend and I did. Jon's such a werido. How is anybody supposed to get Haskell? I can finally understand why people find Haskell so hard. ARRGGHH functions. I am so used to defining my own. I'm looking at this section that Jon showed me and half the time I had to re-read the function declarations. lines. Wtf is lines? How come it makes legit sense? ARRGWSBjbaskjfbckmansd adasdsd...

Welcome aboard. You're riding Haskell on Hooves! Your HoH app is currently hosted on localhost:1337/ Check out the stats below to see how your app's going To get started on your own app, delete index.html and get started!

Yeah, I really want to have one of those. Welcome, I am Jon. I don't say much, I'm just here to notify you of our github repo. We're (Malfox and I) are currently sharing emails. Just for a bit.

Also, I'd like to introduce freddigbjk to our team. Our first employee! Wow. He's a bit of a Python guy, so he likes to script a lot.
