Lambda the Ultimate

Oliver Steele:

The developer world is divided into two camps. Language mavens wax rhapsodic about the power of higher-level programming — first-class functions, staged programming, AOP, MOPs, and reflection. Tool mavens are skilled at the use of integrated build and debug tools, integrated documentation, code completion, refactoring, and code comprehension....

You can be the only one on a team to use Eclipse. If you’re the only one on your team using Haskell, something is probably wrong.

It has been awhile sine we had a good IDE war er.. discussion...

The distinction between language mavens and tool mavens rings true. It shouldn't be too hard to guess to which camp I belong... I rarely spend time thinking about IDE issues if I can only help it.
