Patterns have been known as “Solutions to Recurring Problems in a Context.” However, they are really more than just that. In fact, Christopher Alexander, the inspirer of design patterns in general and the author of this quote later says at the end …
Current multicore systems are nondeterministic. Each time they execute a multithreaded application, even if supplied with the same input, they can produce a different output. This frustrates debugging, limits the ability to properly test multithreaded code and hinders fault-tolerant scenarios. Moreover, data-races often lead to surprising behavior and complicate …
C++ Concepts got a lot of bad press and were dropped from C++0x. They were considered too complex with too few benefits. And yet their equivalent in Haskell, type classes, are considered simple and powerful. I will talk about both languages, explaining some Haskell and C++ concept syntax …

Modern IDEs and compilers generate a wealth of information, and you can’t have any of it. Tools in the compiler family — even the best IDEs — tend to be monolithic, language-specific, generally non-scalable …
There are many mainstream programming paradigms — imperative, object oriented, meta, functional, etc. Each has their proponents and languages oriented around it. But larger applications tend to not fit easily into any particular paradigm.
In extreme cases, developers will resort to using multiple languages with an uneasy interface between them …
