So first he says we're getting rid of the tech monoculture, which would imply I can use whatever software on whatever platform/os I want. But then he notes that the "Microsoft Shop" is an endangered species. And then notes how he can now do pretty much everything "everywhere" but "everywhere" happens to be "linux vms".
So, where just trading one perceived "monoculture" for another real "monoculture".

"But then he notes that the "Microsoft Shop" is an endangered species."
I just took that to mean somewhere where all the software is developed on MS-specific platforms, not that people would stop using MS platforms, just that they would happily mix and match. He's right too - many of us have been doing this for years.

Sure, I can see that, but then he goes on to say "linux, linux, linux"

Windows 7 Pro and 8.1 Pro users joined to an Active Directory domain are about to be pummeled by nagware, and the arcane blocking process is a long way from what we were promised. "They're coming to get you, Barbara!"

You know, I'm beginning to wonder -- does Microsoft know something about W7 - 8.1 that they're very afraid of and want us all to upgrade to 10? There's something fishy here.

Yesssssssss: it's $$$$$$$$$$$$ Through reduction of cost of support... and easier targeting of applications...

My hope is I'll be rid of the nagging window when the free upgrade period is up. But I'm slowly starting to fear Microsoft will extend the free upgrade period when nearing one year..

That's good, because I still can't figure it out myself.

Functional Programming is the great paradigm shift that is sweeping through software development. Prepare yourself for the cutting edge!
Especially for those who loved the "Programming Trends" item

 and why did he write like that?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I assumed it was a joke about the way many functional languages order their syntax.

Because it's not a serious article, it's a comical put-down of the FP paradigm by someone who clearly doesn't understand it.

There is a series of articles on learning Haskell called "Learn You a Haskell for Great Good". I presumed he was riffing on that theme.

This article isn't actually about Functional Programming at all, it's a comical put down of the FP paradigm by someone that clearly doesn't understand it.

It's certainly funny. They ought to write some CP articles. A few light-hearted articles might be a good idea

Quote: "a monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem?"
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
--Zachris Topelius

Despite all these resources at our fingertips (or perhaps because of this abundance), it may not be obvious where industry trends are leading us. I'm guessing "semi-colons, braces, and parentheses" will continue to be popular.
