I was curious if anybody is trying to merge the ideas of alternative hobbyist kernels in language X or Y (for X or Y enthusiasts, like this nim one) and building a compability layer that allows you to do what I had read, maybe incorrectly,

Well, I also had a long-term relationship with a Lebanese-American person. That might have skewed it. I also studied it as a major, which helped self-select my friends. In Virginia, you meet many new immigrants. And in Bethesda area of M

So does anyone on HN use Free Pascal? How do you find it. I heard some comparisons of Nim to Pascal as its veiled resurgence. I am novice, so be gentle. I know this might seem dumb.

Gotta tell ya, Reston and NoVA is the land of A-rab opportunity. (For those not familiar with Northern Virginia, ironically the only place I speak more Arabic outside of Arab countries than anywhere else, specifically in the United States,

I see I got downvoted. I just wanted to clarify that was a joke.

As someone who meanders around the Gulf, I think you are expensive for tourists and you are just trying to reel us in.

I cannot really tell from the details re Shrivenham but you know better than me. As for the grandparents thing: it depends. I have European friends told it was not a problem, and Arab friends that have been warned before applying there wil

So, as per usual, an anecdote. In high school, as a budding Middle East geek, I was told to apply to Saint Andrews of Scotland. Ironically, beyond golf, they had a top notch group of counter-terrorism experts in their security studies (th

A user-extensible type system is closer to Haskell than Python. Again, I said not 100% accurate. I knew someone would say something like you did. No way Nim can compete with Haskell's type system.

by 616c 12y ago
Not 100% accurate answer, but I think they call Python with Haskell typing Nim (formerly Nimrod). http://nim-lang.org/

Not surprising. Was not even familiar with the library until I saw the link in these threads to the Github wiki page for ChicagoBoss mentioning features and I saw ErlyDTL, and went to evanmiller's page. I dug a little deeper because h

Hmm. Beginner developer and long-time lover of sarcasm. So I read your home page list of cool features. > Overthrow the oppressive dictatorship! > Guido rejecting your awesome syntactic proposals? He's not in charge anymore. An

Also interesting is that Evan Miller is the original developer of Chicago Boss, and he shows up a lot here. You will see it on the list of his software on the home page. http://www.evanmiller.org/ I think he has since move

Every time I read about it, I thought, it is surreal more people have not heard of this. I have considered in the last year learning Erlang 1 or 2 times just after stumbling upon it again in my history and being very impressed by feature li

Sorry for the late reply. I will take more time to play with Pharo. I read some of your stuff on Reddit and it seems compelling to use for proto-typing. I started reading about Seaside-REST, Teapot, and Amber after following your name to

I find the aversion to outside tooling hard. I know everything is an object, but I have to live completely in the land of $implementation Smalltalk's view. I understand that has power though, so I cannot knock it. GNU became interes

So I spent the beginning of my week screwing around at work with the Pharo Smalltalk environment again, for the third or fourth time in the last few years of "flirt with different programming environments." Problem is, it is just

I have tried a few times in the last year to find someone who something crazier than Yi: a Haskell program that is text editor, IDE, and integrated Webkit browser, all in Haskell. The dev was a former Emacs enthusiast. It looked really co

Fun fact, the credit bureau problem is a real thing in the GCC. So in states like Qatar, many people (I think the majority local citizens) caused enough problems the Central Bank has put many limitations on when people can take out loans.

If you are interested in other Iraqi cultural icons, I will give you two examples of how, in the height of the Baathist period in Iraq and the beginnning of its decline, Iraq was unique culturally and artistically, Arab world and at large.

And GIMP for the win! Finally a reason the GIMP is better than Photoshop. Haha. (Jokes aside, I love GIMP and just want to make clear I hate the whining of the irrational "GIMP is worse than Photoshop" family of HN posters.)
