Entropic Thoughts Premium Newsletter #5

We get a hint of my latest obsession (text adventures), learn a thing or two about Haskell and the EA movement, and get a review of Code That Fits In Your Head, a book with a good premise but which falls a little flat.

Hello, premium subscribers!

Today, you get the usual link collection and a book recommendation. The book recommendation links to a draft of a future article on the problems with MVC.

I know this premium newsletter is late (by my own standards, anyway.) My excuses are two:

  1. I am about to move to a bigger apartment with my family. It's literally a five minute walk from our current place, but it still requires all the ceremonies, and they take both time and energy.

  2. I started reading 50 Years of Text Games (good book! I recommend!), and got sucked into the world of parser-based text adventures (the GO NORTH kind of game) – both playing and building them. I hope to write more about this soon.
