Kitten http://t.co/1hYgxy5Dme is an interesting concatenative language. It's statically typed, which is very valuable in a stack-based lang.

Wow, sqlite has been compiled with Emscripten to run in the browser! https://github.com/kripken/sql.js (the load time is amazingly quick!)
New version of Kawa Scheme, 1.9 is out! http://t.co/UuupnRzlqx It's an impressive and underrated project.
The Emacs Commune: http://t.co/cWRxuELVJl
Also learnt that Microsoft does usability tests with all new C# features, which is very impressive.
Heard an extremely interesting talk by Andreas Stefik on empirically measured language usability. http://t.co/gr0sT2TfEA
Code Generation Is a Design Smell: http://t.co/DRTZmzzpGo -- interesting perspectives.
I'll be attending Code Mesh 2014! Excited to hear about a range of less mainstream languages.
Great language design retrospective from a Forth developer: https://github.com/jckarter/zissou/blob/master/talk-notes.txt

... and ten minutes after setting up collectd monitoring, I've spotted an issue!
Woohoo! I've successfully configured a collectd + statsd + graphite + nginx stack pretty painlessly with Docker!
Tried a Python IDE and I discovered how much I was missing! anaconda-mode fills that gap with jump-to-def and eldoc! http://t.co/qXV9EnELNc
Argh. Turns out that GNU netcat and OpenBSD netcat behave differently with the same flags. Much confusion ensued.
I'm developing a dislike for PID files. There are too many failure cases. Supervisord, runit and others have more robust solutions.
I'm considering throwing out a pile of Ansible scripts in favour of just taking off-the-shelf Docker containers.
It's tricky to replay handlers in an Ansible script after a failed run: http://t.co/K1k1I5U989
It's easy to implement, but I'm still surprised Emacs doesn't ship with an indent-buffer command. I use it often.
Yet another nice UI feature in magit: when interactively rebasing (press `E`), `C-k` on a line crosses it out. http://t.co/L4jBE6ykGY
Turns out that `C-u M-x magit-status` will prompt you for the path! I've been navigating to project roots all this time, pointlessly...
