AJAX Frameworks
March 18, 2006

I'd like to find a good AJAX framework to play with -- websites like Gmail and Digg are inspiring and it would be fun to try to add some functionality like this to my own website. I read up on CGI::Ajax a bit on Friday and it looks like a good place to start for Perl.


Language design 101
March 16, 2006

This year I discovered that the subject of computer language design is far more fascinating and accessible than I thought. I've been in a position of using languages, but had never really stepped back and thought, if I were to have designed this, how would I have structured the syntax and what sorts of features would I have built into the language.

I have yet to spend much time on it, but I would like to try creating some domain-specific languages for some things and then perhaps work my way to designing a C-like language.
