In planning my recent vacation an email thread was started about who would be picking up the groceries. Most importantly, who would be picking up the drinks. My brother was quick to volunteer. I said in no uncertain terms I didn’t want any of drinkA [^1]. In the past my brother was known to buy large quantities of drinkA.

I’m a bit busier than I thought I would be after returning from vacation. But I had a little bit of time to play around with the implementation again today. Thanks to all the suggestions in the comments from the previous post.

The August issue of MSDN magazine will be carrying an article I wrote this spring. In it I toy around with using the deferred execution and lazy evaluation properties of LINQ to create more responsive UI code.

When learning a new language I find it very instructive to re-code certain structures from my well used libraries into the new language. It gives a great basis for comparison in terms of ease of implementation, expressiveness of the language and sheer ease of implementation. So on that note I set out today to build an ImmutableStack implementation in F#. This is based off of my C# implementation in RantPack.

Time again to learn a new language. I enjoy picking up a new language every now and again. It’s a great way to branch out your skill set and usually leads to new programming techniques in languages that are a part of professional or hobby life.
