- AstralStorm 7y agoIsabelle - everything is proven. (Is a proof.)
- kazinator 7y agoEverything isa belle, surely.
- intothemild 7y agoJavaScript - everything is a hack.
- onion2k 7y agoJavaScript - everything is a hack, except when it's not a hack. Therefore "hack === hack // false"
- ak39 7y agothis
- morgancmartin 7y agoYou saw your chance and you took it. And for that, I respect you.
- jannes 7y agoChecks out. NaN === NaN // false
- byte1918 7y agoNaN is 'not a number' A string is not a number A function is not a number If 'not a number' === 'not a number' then any string === any function This is a joke...

- kazinator 7y agoRules around NaN aren't Javascripts fault; it's IEEE floating-point idiocy that a given NaN doesn't compare equal to itself. That is a corruption. It should never be the case that a thing is not itself.

- dang 7y agoPlease don't post unsubstantive comments here. We don't want programming language flamewars on HN.
- hoseja 7y agoTangent: anybody knows what happened to C2?
- zmix 7y agoI just navigated to the link directly, and everything seems fine. http://wiki.c2.com/?EverythingIsa http://wiki.c2.com/?EverythingIsa
- tabtab 7y agoIt's all read-only now. Changes are no longer allowed, at least not as seen there.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoThey took a perfectly good website and rewritten it as an SPA.
- tabtab 7y agoA jerk who was pissed about the editing rules started vandalizing content en mass. It seems Ward got tired of battling him/her/it and switched on some kind of serverless or distributed version of the wiki that he had been working on as an alleged alternative. Most find it baffling and/or unusable. That effectively killed the wiki, at least to new authoring. Maybe after Ward realizes it's a flop, he'll go back to something more familiar. (It might have other uses, just not as a public wiki or discussion board.) Ward Cunningham is considered the inventor of wikis, by the way.
- rtpg 7y agoPython’s “everything is a writable, string-indexed dictionary“ is clearly meant for Javascript. Python’s dictionaries are extremely non-string-indexed! Given how descriptors work I feel like “everything is a proxy wrapper for a dictionary” encapsulates everything in Python a bit better
- est 7y ago> PythonLanguage: everything is a writable, string-indexed dictionary. What do you mean? Unicode or Bytes? Or Both?
- ChrisSD 7y agoIn python a dictionary key can be any `hashable` object. In practice this means almost any immutable type can be used (e.g. unicode strings, bytes, tuples, etc). However, unicode strings are by far the most common dictionary key and the core language uses them extensively.
- yellowapple 7y agoShouldn't Erlang be "Everything is a process"? And Elixir would be "Everything is a process, but in Ruby".
- kazinator 7y ago"Everything" is a type; "everything" is a variable.
