  • Lifting Moose.Key
    Lifting Moose Shawn M Moore @sartak Behavior State Identity Object-oriented programming is about behavior, state, and identity. Behavior as in message passing, method calls. State as in attributes, properties. Identity as in two objects with the same values for their properties are distinct. Every object-oriented programming language provides these core principles. But then there’s the details. Ohh the details. Class vs prototype “final” or open Behavior Dynamic or static State Generic methods Identity Traits / Roles Operator overload Rebless Every programming language provides a unique take on object-oriented programming. For example, some languages provide inheritance via classes, others via prototype. Some have “final” declarations, some have dynamic dispatch, some generic methods, etc. etc. It’s almost like you could pick any mix of features that make sense together and there’d be a language there. Some exist even where their list of features don’t really make sense together. Object-oriented Programming C# Java CLOS C++ PHP Lua Elk JS Perl Py Ruby Smalltalk We could even treat languages as points on a plane, where position is determined by the set of OOP tradeoffs that language has made. Perl is here. Obviously. And then there’s a bunch of other languages that are more or less different from other languages. By the way, don’t take this chart too literally; it’s merely demonstrative. PHP Lua Perl Python Ruby Smalltalk Let’s zoom in around Perl. All the usual suspects are here. None of these languages provide exactly the same OOP. For example Ruby lets you subclass builtin types like string and array.

  • A Retrospective on Pugs ☺
    ☺ A retrospective on Pugs ☺ Ingo Blechschmidt <[email protected]> Augsburg.pm (April 13th, 2015) Pugs, an experimental Perl 6 platform: a retrospective 1 / 37 April 13th, 2015 Abstract. “Hi. Today I have started working on specifying and implementing Feath- erweight Perl 6 (FP6), a side-effect-free subset of Perl 6.” Audrey Tang used these words to unveil the Pugs project in February of 2005. Initially conceived as an imple- mentation of a small subset of Perl 6 in Haskell, the project quickly grew to contain a full-fledged compiler and interpreter for Perl 6 and aracted a large and diverse community. e talk will give a subjective survey of the history of Pugs. We will pay particular aention to the special manner with which Audrey led the project and what the phi- losophy “-Ofun” meant to the developers. We’ll also discuss which parts of Pugs were absorbed into other implementations of Perl 6 and which influence Pugs had on the Perl and Haskell communities. About me. I contributed to Pugs as a school student in 2005, at first by porting modules and writing tests, then gradually also by writing Haskell code and later by implement- ing a JavaScript backend. Audrey and the unique spirit in the Pugs community had a strong and lasting influence on me (exposing me to Haskell, category theory, and a beautiful way of tending communities); I look back on very exciting and fun days. Warning. e account is mostly from memory and not properly researched. Try not to trust it! Also note that the timeline covers only the year 2005 and that the code excerpts are edited for legibility, i.

  • Trails As Facilitators for Collaboration Among Stakeholders
    sustainability Article Negotiating Improved Multifunctional Landscape Use: Trails as Facilitators for Collaboration Among Stakeholders Kristin Godtman Kling 1,* , Annika Dahlberg 2 and Sandra Wall-Reinius 1 1 Department of Economics, Geography, Law and Tourism, Mid-Sweden University, Kunskapens väg 1, S-831 25 Östersund, Sweden 2 Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm University, S-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +4610-142-7851 Received: 15 May 2019; Accepted: 24 June 2019; Published: 26 June 2019 Abstract: Trails are significant features in landscapes, and many ancient pathways have developed into routes of great importance for recreation and tourism in contemporary societies. Nevertheless, international research on recreational trails has hitherto mainly focused on managerial and environmental aspects of trails and less on trails from a social science perspective, such as conflict management. This study explores the role of recreational trails as a potential tool for managing conflicts in a multifunctional landscape. The findings originate from a case study of the southern Jämtland mountain region in Sweden, an area where land-use conflicts exist and where tourism is a major concern. The study examines the recreational trail as an applied example where actors in the mountain landscape “negotiate” and collaborate. through the recreational trail, dialogue and discussions are made possible among stakeholders. Findings show that trails can function as facilitators for communication and can thus enhance the possibilities of building trust and promoting collaboration between actors. This research contributes to the existing literature on handling multiple land-use interests and adds to previous knowledge by taking on a rather new approach, where the recreational trail becomes a facilitator for communication.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
