Deca is a language designed to provide the advanced features of sophisticated, high-level programming languages while still programming as close as possible to the bare metal. It brings in the functional, object-oriented, and generic programming paradigms without requiring a garbage collector or a threading system, so programmers really only pay in performance for the features they use.

I have come full circle with my development. Eleven or twelve years ago when I started with PHP, all SQL was hand written (chock full of SQL-injection attacks, I’m sure) and executed with the PHP mysql library. Then came the Frameworkapoloza and suddenly I was using objects to describe records in a database. After reflecting on this for a while, I determined it is just not for me. Using an ORM feels clunky, slow, vendor-locked, and difficult to debug. Additionally, with any system of size, you are going to have to write some large SQL queries. I feel mixing ORM code and hand-written SQL is ugly. Writing SQL might tie you into specific database software, but using an ORM ties you closely to that ORM software, which is most likely not as stable as the underlying database software. I trust the future of PostgreSQL much more than I do Doctrine or Propel, for example.

Ever have a brilliant idea and then walk into another room only to find your idea vanished (poof!)? A new study suggests it’s not just you: Walking through a doorway makes it harder to remember thoughts from the previous room.
In two studies, researchers found that participants’ memory performance was poorer after they walked through a doorway than if they stayed put in a room. The researchers theorize that the doorway serves as an event boundary where new memory episodes are created, thus hampering recall of prior memories.

If you think you’re wasting your time, you probably are.
If you think it looks to complicated, it probably is.
If you’re the only one who can work on it because maintenance requires too much context, you’re doing it wrong.
If you think there might be an easier way to do it, there probably is.
If you’re writing code for a feature you don’t know if anyone’s going to use, stop. (premature optimization)

We often start out with the best of intentions and then, at some point down the road, we take a step back from what we’re doing and we think, “What the hell is going on here?” We started out trying to solve what looked like a relatively simple problem and things have escalated and exploded into a mountain of code, plumbing, infrastructure, and a potential maintenance nightmare.
