I'm Sadek Drobi. I'm here at Erlang Factory with Simon Peyton Jones and Joe Armstrong. Can you please tell us about yourselves and what you've been busy with lately?

JA: I'm Joe Armstrong and I'm at Erlang Factory. I've just been to a very nice talk where Simon has told us about the birth of Haskell and Erlang and how they point along parallel routes solving the same problems. I think we can talk a bit about that, because in your lecture you said things about "We tried that

InfoQ have recently published a video of a very interesting interview with Rich Hickey, creator of the Clojure programming language. Conveniently, they also offer a transcript of the entire interview, but as is costumary with their transcripts, it is placed inside a very small text field, making for very awkward reading. Here's a copy of that transcript, extracted from http://www.infoq.com/interviews/hickey-clojure       

Q: We are here at QCon London 2009, with Rich Hickey. Rich, who are you?

A: I'm the author of Clojure. I'm an independent developer, contractor, consultant and,
basically, a practitioner. I'm not a researcher.

Q: What brought you to create a Lisp? Do you go out in the morning and say "Hey, I'm bored!
Let's create the Lisp!"? What's the intention behind it?

A propósito da polémica que envolve a nomeação dos três novos juízes para o Tribunal Constitucional, o líder do grupo parlamentar do PSD Luís Montenegro considera que "muita coisa pode ser revista".

17:22 Quinta feira, 21 de junho de 2012

Na sequência da polémica com o PS, por causa da escolha dos candidatos a juízes para o Tribunal Constitucional, o líder do grupo parlamentar do PSD admite a extinção deste orgão. Em entrevista à Rádio Renascença, Luís Montenegro diz que muita coisa pode ser revista no futuro, até a existência do próprio Tribunal Constitucional.

"O PSD já teve um líder que o defendeu e eu também, a título meramente pessoal, dou abertura para a hipótese de (...) passarmos a ter uma secção constitucional no Supremo Tribunal de Justiça, com isso recolocando em cima da mesa não só o método de eleição e de recrutamento dos juíze
