Segmenter Compiler: Benihime, 紅姫

Image
Code generation subsystem of Benihime is undergoing major refactoring with two goals: extensive use of generics in the public API and maximum amount of code reuse. With major concern about the performance of the current regex implementation in Mono (1.2.6) , I wish I already had enough time to spare today to submit a standards-compliant regex compiler replacement as a contribution. I hope Benihime to become one in the near future.

Expert F#

On a completely unrelated note, I have been reading Expert F# and I must admit that I begin to like the language. If you are someone who is going to learn his first programming language or just feel like adding a new one to your arsenal, I strongly recommend having a look at F# – with interesting mix of paradigms, terse syntax and strong type inference, it is sure to be a pure delight to work with.
