The Hobbit Hole

In a hole there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

Scheme in Haskell

Filed under: Programming — bilbo @ 8:51 am

This too is more a note to self, and a bit of a plug for another blog.

This guy is interesting and has several good articles on programming, though I think this is my favorite so far.

Scheme in 48 hours using Haskell. Brilliant. I love Haskell, and I love Scheme. I feel like someone just figured out how to put the creme filling into the cupcake.

I haven’t gone through it yet. Way too much to do, but it’s on the short list. I’m thinking I might port it from Haskell to Clean, as Clean generates really fast code for a functional language, much faster than GHC for Haskell.

Still, that’s all in the future. The GMTL (man, I hate that name, but I don’t know what else to call it) is coming along. I’ve just about finished the generalized inversion code. Next is the special inversion code for orthonormal matrices and then the specialized conversions from euler angles and quaternions to matrices.

Reading: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. Not anywhere near finished, but the first hundred pages are really good.

  1. Hi, I got your comment to my site and decided to visit here. For some reason this site looks familiar, yet I cannot remember it ;)

    ‘How to Write an Action RPG’ sound like an interesting project…

    These kind of quotes gets your head spin: ‘It is easier to act yourself into a better way of feeling than to feel yourself into a better way of action.’ ;)

    I gotta check out that worldslargestdungeon.com RPG thingy you mentioned, but bit too busy at the moment.

    Seems like interesting stuff you got here. I’ll visit here again with better time.

    Cheers
