Using Jinja2 with Django 1.2

"""
jQuery templates use constructs like:

    {{if condition}} print something{{/if}}

This, of course, completely screws up Django templates,
because Django thinks {{ and }} mean something.

Wrap {% verbatim %} and {% endverbatim %} around those
blocks of jQuery templates and this will try its best

The Elements of Programming Style

The following rules of programming style are excerpted from the book "The Elements of Programming Style" by Kernighan and Plauger, published by McGraw Hill. Here is quote from the book: "To paraphrase an observation in The Elements of Style by Strunk and White, the rules of programming style, like those of English, are sometimes broken, even by the best writers. When a rule is broken, however, you will usually find in the program some compensating merit, attained at the cost of the violation. Unless you are certain of doing as well, you will probably do best to follow the rules."

Thoughts on Swift 2 Errors

When Swift was first announced, I was gratified to see that one of the (few) philosophies that it shared with Objective-C was that exceptions should not be used for control flow, only for highlighting fatal programming errors at development time.

So it came as a surprise to me when Swift 2 brought (What appeared to be) traditional exception handling to the language.

Similarly surprised were the functional Swift programmers, who had put their faith in the Haskell-style approach to error handling, where every function returns an enum (or monad, if you like) containing either a valid result or an error. This seemed like a natural fit for Swift, so why did Apple instead opt for a solution originally designed for clumsy imperative languages?

I'm going to cover three things in this post:
