Structured haskell mode is extremely cool. It's also the best Emacs mode readme that I've seen in a while:
miniblog.
Julia 0.3 is out! https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/NEWS.md#julia-v030-release-notes Still immature, but shaping up into a great language.
Superb comparison of different Emacs themes: http://t.co/SeRd0QsjZt (missing tangotango, but still a great resource)
Filed my first Python bug! http://t.co/fRrYf563c8
What's the programming equivalent of 'not trusting a slim chef'?
Too many tech discussions go the route of "I'd like X" "you don't really need X". Judging others' needs is rarely productive.
"I never metaprogram I didn't like."
Apparently almost no-one discusses Objective-C, they'd rather chat about Haskell https://github.com/Dobiasd/programming-language-subreddits-and-their-choice-of-words (fascinating numbers!)
Terrifyingly subtle bugs due to undefined behaviour in C: http://t.co/tLc1bg5ksx
I've started benchmarking a few programming language implementations: https://github.com/Wilfred/the_end_times I was surprised to see MRI beat JRuby!
If bad code is spaghetti, is good code lasagna?
The Varnish author comparing Doxygen, LaTeX and literate programming: https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/phk/sphinx.html (may require flame retardant trousers)
The great debate between 'function' and 'fun' (or similar abbreviations): http://t.co/EwAPPWBhGb

Julia has strings that allow newlines and supports Ruby-ish string interpolation. Wonderful!
