https://github.com/ing-bank/baker is one such library for JVM languages. The state is kept in Cassandra or in-memory. We've been running production workloads with it for the last 2.5 years. A feature comparison with alternatives can be found here https://ing-bank.github.io/baker/sections/feature-comparison....

Just wanted to show my appreciation to the team supporting Graphviz. It's an instrumental capability of a library[0] we developed to turn Java DSL code into a diagram.

Thank you, keep it as it is, it's just great!

I'm working on a web application to help kids in the Netherlands learn basic math: https://elkedagrekenen.nl/

I'm working together with my son's teacher, who is also working at a local school. It's for kids that might not have the privilege of getting private lessons. I'm a backend developer, but I fell in love with Elm and built the site entirely with it. I host it on GCP.

I'd like to build a template system to support multiple languages, but I'm not sure the so-called calculation strategies kids in the Netherlands learn are the same for kids in other countries.

If you have kids in primary school: please give it a try and let me know what you think?

1. How to Win Friends and Influence People - I recommend because I apply every day at work and reap the results as well, somebody should have recommended this book to me ten years ago;

2. Children of Time - a science fiction book that I enjoyed, I notice that fiction, in general, helps me deal with stressful work, as I disconnect easier and put myself in an imaginary world while reading;

3. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius - this isn't a book you read cover to cover, I catch myself thinking long even after reading a single sentence;

1) and 3) I've come across on HN, but 2) was the unexpected random hit.

This is such a cool idea! Looking forward to visit a class somewhere in Europe. Good luck with your venture!

Wouldn't LISP become more popular if students started with LISP at school/university rather than C/C++, Java or Python? How can a young developer compare or choose if he/she had never been exposed to LISP?

I wonder how many developers nowadays will consider a rules engine or decision tables to implement those underwriting rules. It gets pretty complex pretty quick when you look at the rules in the financial services industry (pensions, loans, etc.). I also see the application of DSLs as well, with the same idea of being more productive with less code.

I've been using products that have a RETE implementation for a while. While learning scala/akka, I decided to give it a try and build a production rules system myself. For a basic implementation, see https://github.com/bridgeworks-nl/scala-rete
