If you're in trouble and cannot find an answer to a question which goes beyond Stack Overflow...

If you have a not-so-usual solution for your problems but need to justify it to your boss...

If you like to think on your own rather than blindly follow "common wisdom" and "profound truth"...

...then 'No Bugs' Hare on Soft.ware might be the right place for you.

Your mileage may vary. Batteries not included

For most of us, programming (or more generally – software development) is all the life is about.

IT Hares are not different. And they have more than just quite a few bits to share about programming…

Programming Languages As a Social Network

posted January 28, 2019 by "No Bugs" Hare

The Idea Recently, I was thinking about visualizing relations among different programming languages, and a thought has crossed my mind: Methodology I took quite a few more-or-less popular programming languages (33 to be exact); however, I explicitly restricted myself to more-or-less general-purpose programming languages. This eliminated DSLs such as R, as well as all dialects […]
