   I'm not at all sure about it, but I wonder if you could combine multimethods with core.typed's `cf` to accomplish this.

   There's the repl, and then there's nREPL. I do like ghci, but I can't execute arbitrary chunks of Haskell directly from Vim.

   Ditto for me, although I'd also probably write it in OCaml or some other new-to-me language just for fun.

   That would be the reason, yeah. I had forgotten that Clojure tends to use Longs for everything.

   You could shave off a precious few characters using the function reader syntax: (defn euler1 [n] (reduce + (filter #(or (div-by 3 %) (div-by 5 %)))) (range n))) Or if you're into comprehensions: (defn euler1 [n] (reduce

   Ambrose pointed me at this link for documentation of core.typed's convenience type wrappers (Vec, Seq, List etc.): http://clojure.github.io/core.typed/#clojure.core.typed/Seq

    Really, the post is about Clojure; these toy problems represent the breadth of my experience with Haskell, so I'm not really qualified to go into more depth. Certainly Haskell is said to have the most powerful type system going, and I

    I find myself often using vim to write new code, and IDEs to perform routine adjustments like this one (or to do anything in Java). But, if I have to do really routine stuff, I bounce back to vim for the macro system, which truely blows a

    It's more of a scientific koan. Interesting to consider, but of little practical consequence (unless, of course, the missing positrons could be located).

    Can I be the first non-US citizen in this thread express my incredulity that anything less than universal health care is tolerated? "Barbaric" is the term that seems to strike me whenever I hear of it, hyperbolic though it may be.

    There is definitely a basic set of commands to remember, but the real power of vim is that it forms a succinct and consistent text-editing language where complex operations can very often be synthesized from what you already know about it.

    I shaved half of my hair and half of my beard so that I'd have an interesting driver's license, and posted the photos on Reddit. So I can't really complain about someone else appropriating my image. But it did get big in a wa

    I've also been sort of feeling like titles get rewritten just for the sake of being rewritten these days. I understand the need to combat sensationalism, but this sort of edit really takes away the writer's voice.

    I think it's a symptom of being a member of an in-demand profession. I don't know of many other professions that employ as many recruiters as this one. It's easy not to fear unemployment with this many unsolicited offers in y

    The animation here is worse than useless, it's confusing. Better if it just flashed instantly from one view to the next without things flying about everywhere. Edit: That said, to say something nice, the animation is technically done v

    The top languages today all existed by 2000 -- many well before that. C: 1972 C++: 1983 Objective-C: 1983 Python: 1992 PHP: 1995 JavaScript: 1995 Ruby: 1995 Java: 1995 C#: 2000 Of course, these rankings are skewed by existing codebases, but

    Actually, vice-versa. Spinning is the act of creating threads. You might have said, "You can't make a thread without spinning yarn".
