(no) class (on) LaborDay extends Weekend
Sep. 7th, 2004 12:24 amThis weekend was a non-uniform mixture of doing work, not doing work, and contemplation of each. Followed, of course, by barbecue today.
My social circle seems to have stopped expanding for the moment. Hopefully it will start growing again soon as I become more comfortable here. Which is weird, because I was very comfortable a couple of weeks ago just before classes started, so much so that Dr. Priebe (who is in charge of the 398T immigration-esque course) thought that I was either not a first-year, or that I had been an undergrad at UT, since I already seemed so well-adjusted. And then I kind of lost that.
For any of you PL-interested people: If you would like to explore a new language, try Scala. You have my testimony as a PL weenie that this language is T3H H0TT. It has the most powerful static type system I've seen to date; it beats {SML, OCaml, Haskell} like redheaded stepchildren.
