Just as much so as սուրճ or コーヒー or קפה.

I can't think of a better format for what they are trying to do with the ArrayCast. It's not teaching people array programming, just a conversation between people who are proficient in it.
What do you think makes podcasts inaccessible? For example, I often recommend https://soundcloud.com/lambda-cast https://soundcloud.com/lambda-cast to developers looking to understand functional programming. The conversational approach works well because some of the panelists are being taught these concepts for the first time and they ask great questions. There are plenty of books and articles on the subject, but conversational audio is a wonderful supplement.

That's the point. > What do you think makes podcasts inaccessible? Lack of visible, searchable structure and the requirement of audio (in those that don't have transcripts, which is a lot of them) to get the information.
- bobterryo 4y agoAll episodes of the Arraycast have both transcripts and extensive show notes for background information for those who may not be array programmers. The challenge of delivering knowledge via an audio format is real, but use of transcripts makes it much more accessible.
- gjulianm 4y agoIndeed, this podcast seems to do a decent job. It was more an off topic remark about how inaccesible podcasts usually are for actually finding information.
