@gnat What!?! How's that a dupe of this:

Q: I Want to control desktop application from internet

I want to control my desktop software over the internet. I'm not a web developer. I've made a few desktop projects with VB6.0 using SQL server 2000. Is there any possibility to control my desktop database software via the Internet?

@YannisRizos that's not the question I voted on, it has been very heavily edited since. Original revision is...

@gnat And how's that a duplicate of... anything?

I get that dupe closures are softer than other closures, but that one was a stretch.

@YannisRizos well, you have a point. I did stretch it a bit from NARQ of a guy who "no have any good experience for web application" to a dupe of very broad " What should every programmer know about web development?"

I think we should have connected the remote desktop question OP with the "how many programs have been written" question OP. Just to show that there's someone who keeps track of the number and types of programs they've written. :-)

@GlenH7 Even better, I'll migrate it to Politics and close it as a dupe of this:

@YannisRizos fixed it.

I need to write a real application in clojure

I've done a few in haskell incomplete but with real requirements to meet, the thing I never took time to learn of LISP/scheme was the type system; near as I can tell it eschewed typing like lambda calculus where ML's are the lambda-mu variant. I should go learn the scheme type system... I definitely don't interest in the CLOS OO type system, any more than the OCAML one; smalltalk does OO better than either of them surely so it's kind of silly to even bother using either of them for OO

LISP would actually be a great language for writing UI... we all know markup languages are good at defining UI, and LISP can function as a markup language very well, perhaps I should try and write some simple UI library in clojure..

(window '(menu '("File", "Edit", "Help"), below (textbox "Enter name" 35px "default"), rightOf (textbox "Enter age" 42 "42")))

Jimmy Hoffa

8:43 PM

or maybe I just stick with Haskell and do it there...
Window $ Menu ["File", "Edit", "Help"] >>= below (TextBox "Enter name" 35 "default") >>= rightOf (TextBox "Enter age" 42 "42")

@Undo - The price for that MBP sounds a bit high. But the hardware should be able to keep up. I'm running on a 2008 MBP with an SSD and 4GB of RAM. It moves along quite nicely.

user41796

@Undo - I'm not a big fan of a 13" display either, it's a bit too small for my tastes. However, external monitors are pretty cheap. Given that it's only a 13" MBP, $500 does seem a bit high. Might check ebay and other online auction type places for comparison price points.

@GlenH7 I've checked Ebay (made a huge spreadsheet of all the recently sold ones), price seems to be $25-50 under average - also, I know it's been well taken care of.

Also, I have another 15-ish inch external that I could use
