]]> Comment on C++ is the spawn of satan by Keith http://meat.net/2007/09/cplusplus-is-the-spawn-of-satan/#comment-4986 Keith Fri, 21 Sep 2007 20:11:00 +0000 http://meat.net/2007/09/cplusplus-is-the-spawn-of-satan/#comment-4986 In the discussion between you and I that spawned this, its not even C++ being evil that is the problem. Its the craptastic C API I'm programming against that has a generic void* argument that can be a pointer sometimes and an integer other times. Maybe 15 years ago that seemed like a good idea, but, dammit, just make two function calls or something. Oh wait, no function overloading in C. Its C that is satan...which I guess, you're right, make C++ the span of Satan. In the discussion between you and I that spawned this, its not even C++ being evil that is the problem.

What I'm hoping for is a standard way of factoring out the differences between efcgi, httpd, pico or anything else, and just have a simple API that handles web requests that anyone can implement to and deploy in different scenarios.

Also, the erlang socket driver has built in fcgi framing if you want to roll your own (fcgi packets are very easy to parse with erlang's binary matching) While not wsgi, there is a fcgi binding at http://code.google.com/p/efcgi/ thats very easy to connect to apache or whatever frontend you may prefer.

]]> Comment on for loops in erlang by David Terrell http://meat.net/2007/08/for-loops-in-erlang/#comment-4975 David Terrell Sun, 05 Aug 2007 17:30:12 +0000 http://meat.net/2007/08/for-loops-in-erlang/#comment-4975 Yep. You always want to add stuff to (or operate on) the head of the list, because that's the fastest operation to perform on a list, then reverse it when you're done. Even reversal is easy to do in a tail-recursive method. list_reverse([], Acc) -> Acc; list_reverse([H|T], Acc) -> list_reverse(T, [H|Acc]). The other thing is that any recursive call should always be the last call in a function. There's a standard optimization for that in languages that encourage recursion to prevent the stack from growing. But when you need to perform an operation on the return of a recursive call, that optimization can't be performed. Yep.
