I saw this tweet on my timeline the other day.. which reminded me again to look at Elm and I’ve spend the last week or so getting myself immersed with this wonderful little language built around the idea of functional reactive programming. My first impressions of Elm so far have been very positive, there are …

Having spent some time this week with Elm I have seen plenty of things to make me like it, a more in-depth review of my experience with Elm so far is in the works but for now I want to talk about Elm’s record type and how it compares with F# record type which us …
Since I’ve been experimenting with Sentry and hacking around in Dart again lately, so what better way is there to combine these two activities than to write a Dart client for Sentry? That said, there is already a Javascript client library for Sentry, which via the dart:js library you can probably save yourself some code …
DISCLAIMER : as always, you should benchmark against your payload and use case, the benchmark numbers I have produced here is unlikely to be representative of your use cases and neither is anybody else’s benchmark numbers. You can use the simple test harness I created and see these example code to benchmark against your particular …
Here at Gamesys social team, we’re rethinking our current approach to logging in general, from both server and client’s perspective. Having looked at many different alternatives (it was a little hard to imagine how crowded a space log aggregation and visualization is..) one of the services which we have decided to experiment with is Sentry. …

Whilst Dart doesn’t have support for enum types but it turns out you can do a pretty good job of emulating it using Dart’s constant constructors (which allows you to create compile-time constants with your class, which in .Net you’re restricted to numbers, booleans, strings and null). Using the technique from this SO answer you …

Algebraic Data Type An algebraic data type is a basically a composite type that is formed by combining other types, sometimes also referred to as “sums-and-products” data structures (don’t worries if this is too abstract for you, examples are coming). A simple example would be a composite type that represents a binary tree that has: …

To help me better remember these …

In Here Be Monsters*, we have a story-driven, episodic MMORPG that has over 3500 items and 1500 quests, and with more text than the first three Harry Potter books combined – so it represented a fairly sizable challenge when we made the decision to localize the whole game! The Challenge From a technical point …
