Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak with Anders Hejlsberg, father
of both Turbo Pascal and C#. Of course I had to scratch my dynamic
language itch, so we talked some about that. The upshot is that Anders
believes compile-time type checking is valuable, but also thinks we
can (and probably should) use type inferencing to make static type
checking feel more dynamic.

Backporting from Python 2.3 to Python

Backporting from Python 2.3 to Python
2.2
06/08/2004 11:18 PMWe have a home-grown templating system at work, which I
intend to dedicate an entry to some time in the future. We originally
wrote it in Python 2.2, but upgraded to Python 2.3 a while ago and
have since been evolving our code in that environment. Today I found a
need to load the most recent version of our templating system on to a
small, long neglected application that had been running the original
version ever since it had enough features to be usable.
Unfortunately, this application was running on a server
that only had Python 2.2. Installing Python 2.3 would have been
somewhat more painful here than on other servers we run for reasons I
won't go in to, so I decided to have a go at getting our current code
to run under the older Python version.
In the end, I only had to make three minor changes, all at
the top of the file in question.
I added from __future__ import
generators as the very first line of the file. We use
generators (with the yield statement) in a
few places - this feature was only properly added in Python 2.3, but
was made available in Python 2.2 as a "future enhancement" through the
aforementioned obscure import.
I added True, False = 1,
0 on the next line down. Surprisingly, Python 2.2 had no
support for a boolean type and instead used a test for non-zero
instead. The above line defines constants that behave enough like
Python 2.3's True and False to avoid any problems.
I defined an enumerate
function, which was introduced for real in Python 2.3. Here's the code
I used:
def enumerate(obj):
for i, item in zip(range(len(obj)), obj):
yield i, item
All in all it only took around ten minutes to put the
above together, after which the script worked just fine. It was
interesting to see how our code had grown to rely on Python 2.3
features without us realising it.

Trying To Answer The What's Next
Question
Trying To Answer The What's Next
Question
05/07/2004 02:58 PMCNET's News.com has been publishing their well done series of articles
on offshoring this week, and have concluded with two that are worth
reading. The first isn't really a part of the series, but goes well
with it, explaining (again!) why
protectionist
plans don't work. This has been explained over and over again,
and there are countless examples of how protectionist policies cause
many more problems than they solve, but apparently, it needs to be
reviewed once more. The second piece is much more interesting. The
question that anti-offshoring people always bring up is "what other
jobs are there?" They're afraid that all jobs will be offshored and
then there will be nothing left (except, the example they love,
flipping burgers). Of course, history has shown that's not what
happens at all. The US was an agricultural economy for a long time,
and we shifted and it certainly made life very difficult for a lot of
people - but we innovated and created new jobs and a higher standard
of living. We've done so again and again and again. So News.com is
looking at
what
might be next. The problem, of course, is that it's difficult to
predict what really is next. So often disruptive advancements seem to
come from unexpected places. Researchers working on one thing
serendipitously discover a completely different breakthrough that
leads to an entire new industry. Of course, to put that all together
though, we need to support better education and push for more research
and development (which often isn't helped when companies only think in
the short term thanks to Wall Street). However, to prepare for
"what's next" we need to create a culture that involves constant
learning and education focused on useful areas of expertise - and not
so much on specific tactical expertise. Understanding how to make a
horse and buggy isn't useful - but understanding the basic concepts
concerning transportation is still useful no matter what mode of
transportation is used. Having that base of knowledge, with constant
additional training, let's someone work on buggies, automobiles,
trains, planes and whatever else comes next.
