Really low-key, really smart-Erlang conference record grassland (add three points)

As soon as we arrived at the Erlang venue, Jin Yu rushed to greet me with enthusiasm. And immediately pointed to a brother in front of me and said: this is a big cool man, you must know. The ox is the grassland.

 

At the Erlang seminar in Shanghai, he chatted with the grassland and learned how powerful he was. He wrote ide to both Erlang and Scala, during which he also showed me the demo, including aiotrade, an open-source software he developed three years ago (with 30 thousand downloads ).

 

During the meeting, we talked about reading books as usual.Programming Language. The grassland said that he has never read a book because he has learned a language. He will certainly write something by hand. When writing something, he will find that the book is right. Therefore, when he learns a language, he often does not remember some language details, but he can use this language as something. He also talked about those from Silicon ValleyProgramLike a clerk, he hates low-level repeated patching. He is willing to work on building a relatively complete tool. If he does not have such a tool, he will write one by himself. Erlang and Scala IDE are written in this way. He gave me a wry smile and said, writing IDE is very bitter and hard-thinking. If it wasn't for me, I wouldn't write it myself. He doesn't want to be a professional writing ide. Rao is so. He still writes three ides.

 

He lives in Canada and is currently single in Beijing to help his friends with projects. He said that some foreigners who made IDE for Ruby and Python once chatted and talked about him, saying they didn't know where the person actually lives, because foreigners thought that the grassland submittedCodeThere is no time rule. Speaking of this, the grassland looked like Lu Xun's beard and laughed: "They may think I live in the Arctic ." I asked him about his daily schedule. He told me that he could not go to bed for six hours every day. Grassland said that reading is only done on the toilet, or writing code. He showed me the demo program on his white Mac notebook, and I was able to feel as happy as it was when a musician showed his music.

 

The grassland once again answered a few friends' arguments about programming languages, saying that he was never addicted to programming languages, and he was always a pragmenter.

 

I showed his blog on my mobile phone. He immediately asked me to read his latest article.ArticleProfessor Martin's latest message said that he laughed like a child when talking about the mouth lawsuit between Martin and another group of people.

 

Later, aimin came over, and the topic suddenly moved to philosophy. I spoke a few philosophies with the grassland, and they agreed with each other. He quietly told me: I have been in Tsinghua for three years. He still has some legends.

 

I made an appointment with him, and he told me exactly when to start planning.

 

On the blog bus, I couldn't help mentioning him with Che Dong, and opened his blog to Che Dong, saying that this is a very low-key person. Che Dong said, look at the picture, you will be able to keep a low profile. Hey, what I want to say is that the profile picture looks like him. It's really low-key, really smart!

 

"Adds three points:

 

1. Technical Exchange is not enough.

 

The grassland and I said that the discussion at the Erlang conference was very good. The grassland nodded and said: not enough, not enough. There is such a discussion in Silicon Valley every day;

 

2. Don't be afraid to communicate with foreigners. Foreigners will also be exposed.

 

The grassland said that we should encourage everyone to directly communicate with foreign experts, so don't care about face-to-face, and don't worry about foreigners saying, "Ha, so naive, you can also ask such simple questions ." As he said, He glared at his eyes and said proudly, a foreigner once asked him a question. He sighed in his mind, "wow, this cool man, this simple question, he asked me so naive!" -- I remember talking to me during the Spring Festival last year, and I also mentioned this.

 

3. Mixed Programming is a trend, but do not go to extremes.

 

We talked about mixed programming. The grassland shows an example of a commercial project that he is working on. Due to its complicated application, six languages were used during development: java, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, Erlang, and Perl. He frowned: Ruby programmers and Erlang programmers are like two planets and it is difficult to communicate. Mixed Programming in six languages at the same time. If we wanted to improve the development efficiency, the results would be counterproductive. We can see that at any time, we cannot handle things with an ideal attitude and see the aspect of things, it ignores the other side of the thing. I asked, is it more reliable to use two or three programming languages for mixed programming? He nodded.
