When solving problems becomes a game, coding is just the next step.“As a teenager, I spent a lot of time coding in GFA Basic on my parents’ Atari ST: games, a fractal generator, a genealogical program…I created sites and wrote Perl scripts for an association and learned C, C++, PHP along different personal projects.

One Screenful

I don’t use Perl any more but Learning Perl was the first book that made me feel like I could do useful, interesting things with a computer language. The paragraph below stuck in my head. Now it reminds of Edward Tufte’s “one eyespan” principle for visualizations. I think Paul Graham and Doug Hoyt make similar assertion about breviy in their books. I guess concise is nice! It feels good to be compact.

Perl is a very high-level lanuage. That means that the code is quite dense; a Perl program may be around 30% to 70% as long as the corresponding program in C. This makes Perl faster to write, faster to read, faster to deug, and faster to maintain. It doesn’t take much programming before you realize that, when the entire subroutine is small enough to fit onscreen (...)

WHAT IS CIRCOS?
CIRCULAR VISUALIZATION

Circos is a software package for visualizing data and information. It visualizes data in a circular layout — this makes Circos ideal for exploring relationships between objects or positions. There are other reasons why a circular layout is advantageous, not the least being the fact that it is attractive.

Circos is ideal for creating publication-quality infographics and illustrations with a high data-to-ink ratio, richly layered data and pleasant symmetries. You have fine control each element in the figure to tailor its focus points and detail to your audience.

Circos is free software, licensed under GPL.

Circos is written in Perl, can be deployed on any operating system for which Perl is available (e.g. Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and other UNIX flavours) and produces bitmap (PNG) and vector (SVG) images using plain text configuration and input files.

OpenStreetMap Moves Beyond The Streets, Starts Mapping Amazonia
from the boldly-going dept
OpenStreetMap is fast-emerging as one of the key open projects — so much so, that proprietary rivals in the world of digital maps are evidently getting worried. Just as the LAMP stack — GNU/Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl/PHP/Python — provided a robust and free foundation for a whole generation of websites a decade and a half ago, so OpenStreetMap is becoming more widely adopted as part of the mobile web, and as geodata grows in importance for a new generation of software applications aimed at users on the move.

#Markdown throwdown: what happens when #FOSS software gets #corporate backing?

Markdown is a Perl script that converts plain text into Web-ready HTML; it’s also a shorthand syntax for writing HTML tags without needing to write the actual HTML. Markdown has been around for a decade now, but it hasn’t seen an update in all that time—nearly unheard of for a piece of software. In that light, the fact that Markdown continues to work at all is somewhat amazing.

Regrettably, “works” and “works well” are not the same thing. Markdown, despite its longevity, has bugs. But here, the software has an advantage. As free and open source (FOSS) software, licensed under a BSD-style license, anyone can fork Markdown and fix those bugs.

Recently, a group of developers set out to fix some of those bugs, creating what they call a “standard” version of Markdown. From a pure code standpoint, the results are great. Yet there was no surplus of gratitude. Instead, the “standard” group found itself at the center of a much larger and very contentious debate, one that’s ultimately about who we want in control of the tools we use.

Slender Means

So what’s below is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek list of suggestions for facilitating productive and interesting discussions comparing languages. Many of them are not specific to our little R/Python/Matlab/Julia skirmishes, but apply to lots of different language wars (C++ vs. Java, Python vs. Perl, Ruby vs. Python, Clojure vs. Scala, Haskell vs., I dunno, everybody?) The last section is comprised of a couple of very general notes about civility. I’m strongly in favor everyone’s right to be a smug prick on the Internet. But, you know, you should probably try not to be a smug prick on the Internet.
