Episode 72

This week on Herding Code, the gang discusses Uncle Bob's self-titled blatherings about DI, IoC and Mocking, Clojure and polyglot programming, managed javascript, and recent support for Mercurial at Codeplex. The show finishes up with another K Scott Lightning Round with questions about the iPad and non-technical blog recommendations.

  • Uncle Bob recently published two articles which are a little down on DI, IoC and Mocking. Was he merely trying to get a rise out of the community or was he sending a subtle message about poor use of our tools?
  • K Scott attended Craig Andera's Clojure Presentation at a recent DC Alt.NET meet up. This sparks a discussion about Clojure Magic - functional programming, transactional memory, concurrency and multi-threaded programming.
  • The guys talk about the polyglot programmer, Scala running on the JVM and Java interop. Scott K shares his interest in getting a Clojure, Scala and F# guy in the same room and Kevin gives his thoughts about the language explosion.
  • Scott K leads a conversation about managed javascript, node.js, and IronJS.
  • The group offers their opinions on Codeplex support for Mercurial and address questions like "Why not Git?" and "Does this make Codeplex more appealing?"
  • Lightning Round Question #1: Who's going to buy an iPad?
  • Lightning Round Question #2: What non-technical blogs do you read?
