Obsev :: Time Machine: Any investors? Predicting the future!
One of my childhood dreams was to have a time machine. A machine that can show me what will happen in the future. Thinking about it, this can be a huge opportunity of making money and fame. Bringing all the future inventions and innovations to the actuality will no doubt make you a hero.
Actually I won’t need a lot of years ahead, just enough that allows me to introduce a new concept or a new idea to a world that didn’t get to it yet. Of course there is credits and merits, but that idea did anyway have its value in its time (in the future), all what I will be doing is giving it yes more value and that is well rewarding for the idea itself.
No, I am not about science fiction here. We can almost predict the future without the need of a time machine. If we have a look at technology adoption, we can clearly see that, at least in IT, Europe is slightly behind the US. However there are countries (like my own) with a longer delay of adoption.In my opinion this is a huge opportunity of investment especially when we see with a simple observation how the technology adoption follows almost exactly the same steps, maybe with a faster rhythm, but with an considerable delay despite the wide spread of Internet and cheap communication. I guess the reason to that is that adoption should pass by the same stages of try and failure until it moves to the next level, rediscovering the wheel.
A company in the style of Y-Combinator that helps startups do shortcuts in these countries can be a good investment. Especially knowing that, in order to be integrated in the word’s economy, information should flow satisfying existing standard from the… future!
So, any investors?

Debate and more Insights on Dynamic vs. Static Languages
The transcript of Steve Yegge’s presentation on dynamic languages in Stanford University, which he posted on his blog, triggered many reactions in the blog sphere. Cedric Beust, Ted Neward, Ola Beni and Greg Young provided their viewpoints and arguments on different tradeoffs involved in dynamic vs. static debate.

Why Haskell Matters -> Abstraction :: Multi Inheritance, Interfaces, Extension Methods and Type Classes
Motivated by my recent interest in Haskell, I thought it might be a good idea to share my experience and my thoughts about the programming language. So I decided to write a series of posts that represent my personal observations about why I think that Haskell can be a good fit for enterprise applications development. I’ll try in these posts to present my ideas on different levels (enterprise, architecture and software modules). The aim is not to criticize any of the mainstream programming language but rather to do an enterprisey introduction of why Haskell is good for enterprise development.
In this post I’ll try to dive a bit into abstraction tools available in programming languages. I’ll try to observe the effect that these abstraction constructs have on the overall design and architecture.

Crosswords :: Should Architecture Rewrite be Avoided?
As it gets more and more difficult to adapt software to new demands, the temptation to rebuild it in order to update the architecture grows stronger. For this risky undertaking it is essential to choose the right strategy. Several authors provide insights into advantages and disadvantages of different possible options in terms of cost, technical complexity and potential commercial risk.
