Shocked that I'm first to post this "morning"

yogidevbear20:12:18

Ha! Morning 😄

agile_geek20:12:41

Was talking to a friend (an infrastructure guy rather than a developer although he has a background in AI) about @krisajenkins and I having a disagreement of approaches around modelling. Kris favouring data modelling first and me favouring behaviour modelling first. Was talking about Kris's idea to write a book on Data modelling in FP and me write a counter about Behaviour modelling in FP and my friend suggested we do one of those adventure books that used to be around when I was a kid which had two books back to back one published upside down to the other with two front covers. We could pick animals for covers that are enemies!

yogidevbear20:12:33

That's a really funny idea. I might buy a book like that

rickmoynihan23:12:15

agile_geek: Sounds like an interesting idea/holy-war… What reasons are there to prefer doing one before the other?

rickmoynihan23:12:37

Of course - it’s a classic!

yogidevbear23:12:40

Saw it mentioned in this post. Really good article

rickmoynihan23:12:02

yogidevbear: It’s also available free online along with the original classic Sussman/Abelson lecture series.

rickmoynihan23:12:15

I highly recommend all of it

yogidevbear23:12:18

Yeah I found that too

yogidevbear23:12:38

Will have to read it after I finish Living Clojure

The stuff on the metacircular evaluator is perhaps amongst some of the greatest lectures & chapters in computer science

rickmoynihan23:12:53

as introductory materials on the theory of computation goes anyway

rickmoynihan23:12:52

Lecture 7A at about 4 minutes in is pure class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m6hoOelZH8
