Functional programming is hard!

I recently got re-interested* in natural language processing, in conjunction with working on a taxonomy/ontology and reading about applications for taxonomies and ontologies.

I found a course with all materials on GitHub that looked pretty interesting: Applied Natural Language Processing, and thought I'd give the exercises a go in my free time.

But. But. From day one, the coursework emphasizes functional programming. And it's like starting from square one!

More work in coding land

A lot happening in work-land recently; hard to keep up with blogging! Some brief updates on the coding front:


I can call myself a help developer
'Cause I wrote Python code to build our help system that actually made it into the product's driver build, yay!
