This is a list of blog-ish websites where I found insightful stuff
that I would like not to forget.
# LispCast
Eric Normand's musings on programming paradigms and their application,
with a soft spot for functional programming.
[Programming Paradigms and the Procedural Paradox] (2017)
: A discussion on our tendency to conflate *paradigms* with their
*features*; for example, when trying to answer "can this language
express that paradigm?", we often reduce the question to "does
this language possess those features?".
Normand wonders whether we do this because the procedural
paradigm's metaphor (a series of steps that each may contain any
number of sub-tasks) maps so well to its features (sequential
statements, subroutines) that it trained us to mix those up.
