Sure thing. My point is that, if I want to check whether an argument is a keyword list, I have to do extra mental work to guess whether the correct function to use is `is_keyword` or `keyword?`. There also doesn't seem to be a consiste

While true, I think the larger problem is that it is not intuitive (at least to me) when I can expect a function to be of the `is_` vs `?` form. It's a leaky abstraction.

Cliff! I've had a plan to buy a bottle from you for a long time. Do you still have any left?

In Elixir that is a called a comprehension, just like the blog post is discussing.

There is no on-going work to support Metal apart from the work done by Miles. There's an old issue about it: https://github.com/diku-dk/futhark/issues/853#issuecomment-5...

We actually have a long-standing issue regarding WebGPU[0]. Long story short, we want to support it, and Athas did some exploratory work a couple of years ago and decided that WebGPU wasn't mature enough yet. We already have a WebAssem

Great to hear that you liked the language! Regarding the performance, I'd be interested to hear more about your experiences. Because we compile to CUDA or OpenCL in the end, we cannot claim to be faster than what you could (in principl

Shameless plug for Futhark[0], which you can use to write your computational kernels. The idea is to use functional constructs like map and reduce to express parallel code and let the compiler handle the generation of low-level OpenCL or C

Shameless plug, but after reading this blog post the last time it was posted, I tried to implement some of the same dithering methods in Futhark[0]. You can see the results here, if you're interested: https://munksgaard.gith

Really appreciate this response. Looking at your first link, there's a link to this page which currently resolves to a 404: https://supabase.com/docs/guides/platform/docs/guides/platfo...

Thank you! Yeah, at some point it would be nice to do a little library of sound effects, and there we should definitely have some filters like that. To be clear, we're not doing anything in the browser (yet). Futhark literate takes a .

It has similarities, at least on the ultimate goals (creating efficient parallel code), but the approach is different: We start from already fully parallelized code and are just trying to recoup some of the performance loss of high-level pr

That sounds like a pretty run-of-the-mill balanced binary tree? Rust has a BTreeMap: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.BTreeMap.ht...

I... don't think that's true of Sourcehut? Drew has certainly argued for the fact that websites should be usable without Javascript, so it would surprise me if Sourcehut didn't follow the same standards.

SML can run in every major browser: http://www.smlserver.org/smltojs/ Interestingly, SMLtoJs predates Elm and PureScript, but never really caught on.

I'm not terribly familiar with Go, but surely the comparison here must be with Rusts Reference[0]? It is a bit shorter than the Rust Book (a simple print-to-pdf says 435 pages vs. 664 pages, and 104 pages for the Go spec). 0: https:&#

In Clojure, `[1 2 3]` is a vector, which is a distinct data type from a list, which looks like `(1 2 3)`. A vector in Common Lisp is written using `#(1 2 3)`. Using vectors for function arguments is unique to Clojure, and I'm not entir

Why is this (almost) at the top of HN? Nothing really stood out for me after a quick skim of the wiki page. Is there some additional context that I'm not aware of, or is this just a case of "huh, cool"?

This is great! Forth is such an interesting language. Does anyone know of uses in industry?
