The Last Vestiges Of Object Oriented Programming

Nice overview of the good uses and wrong uses for classes. We're far from the abuses of the early times now.

Nice article explaining unikernels and showing the example of MirageOS.

Interesting research, this shows opportunities to push CRDTs to the next level.

Another partial quote which led to misunderstanding. One should indeed think about performances early on.
