Chor, a brand new language

Yes, yet another programming language: Chor
As the name suggests Chor is a new programming language for communicating systems, based on choreographies ( I'm not talking about dance of course :P ).
There are many reasons to give it a chance.
First of all is a creature of my brother Fabrizio, then because it's very promising and has solid formal foundations.
It's still in alpha state but you can see it in action in this video:


Nice job Fabrizio!

Ansible, Azure & WSL survival guide (VS Code bonus track)

Hi all you new DevOps! This guide is meant for poor Windows' users struggling to get Ansible working on their workstations, like me few days ago :-( Scenario: you're involved in a brand new cloud project on Azure, you're trying to make things work with Ansible and your company provides you a Windows 10 ™ PC, but Ansible DO NOT RUN on Windows. In addiction you're lazy and bored to start yet another virtual machine, just to type "git pull" and "ansible-palybook" :-D (by the way your precious SSD is getting dangerously full). And you do want your memory greed Visual Studio Code, with autocompletion, syntax highlight, all-known languages modules and other silly stuff. First of all, let's install WSL (if you don't know what WSL is, google it): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 I assume you installed an Ubuntu 16.04 upon WSL. Quite simple, isn't it? Now you should install Ansible and all needed Azure modules....

Jolie micro services on Kubernetes

Jolie is a (micro) service-oriented language. Jolie's capabilities work well with Docker and you can find an example in the official documentation here . So d eploying a Jolie service in a Docker container is quite easy. Now it's time to go onboard with Kubernetes ;-) This is only a little demo on how to set up a Kubernetes environment on your PC (thanks to minikube) and build up a scalable clusterized version of Jolie's "Hello world" example. You can find Jolie examples on this GitHub project . What we are going to do now is to transform "01_getting_started" sample (which simply twices a number) into a powerful Kubernetes scalable app (doing exactly the same thing, but in a cool way). If you object that this is very unreasonable, I have to remind you that it is perfectly aligned with today's software industry standards. :-P To be honest I'm not going to explain what Kubernetes is and how it does what it does, so please go read a...

FaaS - Fuffa as a Service [Prima parte]

Immagine
Qualche tempo fa qualcuno mi ha segnalato questa pagina: http://www.massimobarbieri.it/it/Tecnichese/ In pratica si tratta di un sofisticato generatore di supercazzole in gergo tecnico, basato su solide basi teoriche  (guardate anche l'altro esempio di utilizzo di TinyGrammar, ne vale la pena). Dopo aver fatto diversi click sul pulsante "Genera altro tecnichese" ho constatato (con le lacrime agli occhi per le risate) che il tool è robusto ed affidabile :-P Il contagio si è rapidamente sparso tra i colleghi, scatenando la facile ironia di chi faceva notare quanto le frasi generate fossero praticamente indistinguibili da alcuni discorsi sentiti durante serissime riunioni di lavoro. A questo punto, siccome non so se sono più nerd o più cazzaro, mi sono accorto che Barbieri (grazie Massimo) ha pubblicato su GitHub la sua libreria  con licenza GPL e che sarebbe stato facile modificare il dizionario della grammatica per renderlo ancora più affine al mio ambito aziendale (...
