Ecto a Slick Query DSL for the Elixir Language
Elixir? What on earth is Elixir? It is a programming language that somewhat reminds me of Ruby. Here is some example Elixir code: defmodule Hello do IO.puts "Defining the function world" def world do IO.puts "Hello World" end IO.puts "Function world defined" end And it has a Stack Overflow community with around 50 tagged questions … Continue reading Ecto a Slick Query DSL for the Elixir Language
Does Java 8 Still Need LINQ? Or is it Better than LINQ?
LINQ was one of the best things that happened to the .NET software engineering ecosystem in a long time. With its introduction of lambda expressions and monads in Visual Studio 2008, it had catapulted the C# language way ahead of Java, which was at version 6 at the time, still discussing the pros and cons of … Continue reading Does Java 8 Still Need LINQ? Or is it Better than LINQ?

A preview of what you'll find there … Continue reading Java Streams Preview vs .Net LINQ
Will Java add LINQ to EL 3.0 in JSR-341?
This fact has somehow slipped by me unnoticed so far: As the JSR-341 websites claim, Java is going to add full .NET-Style LINQ support to its expression language 3.0! While the JSR-341 website doesn't explicitly mention these feature additions to the expression language, a lot of details can be seen here: http://java.net/projects/el-spec/pages/CollectionOperations This is very … Continue reading Will Java add LINQ to EL 3.0 in JSR-341?
jOOQ’s Reason for Being
The below paragraphs were taken from the jOOQ preface from the manual. It is worth thinking about why you should (or should not) use jOOQ in a given project. Specifically, you might be choosing between jOOQ and JPA, jOOQ and Hibernate, or jOOQ and SLICK (in a Scala context). here's some guidance (slightly biased towards … Continue reading jOOQ’s Reason for Being
