IMHO: * Merge Patch better reflects the practices that people are already using today. * RFC 6902 is over-engineered and less understandable. * RFC 6902 requires more space. * RFC 6902 requires another RFC[1] to work. RFC 6901 - JSON Pointe

I guess I needed to be clearer there. I meant experienced programmers in Moscow, Russia. For the most part it's either one Skype call (<= 30m) and one personal interview (1h - 1h30) or two personal interviews. There are exceptions t

I thought the legacy of Modula-3 lives in OpenJML (through ESC/Modula-3 -> ESC/Java -> ESC/Java2 -> OpenJML)? I have never heard anyone use it though.

Do you foresee an enlargement in the total number of speakers? Why? Also, if I got it correctly, Romansh is one of Switzerland's national languages, so theoretically one could move to Graubünden and acquire Swiss citizenship through Ro

It will be really funny if there is some bit of new, undiscovered physics, that went undiscovered for so long just because it's best described using some esoteric maths like complex base numbers. Highly unlikely, but fun to think about

This is rather off-topic, but I want to learn Idris or any other purely functional programming language one day to the point where I would be able to read any program, but most programs written in those languages are so terse and abstract,

I wonder if the lack of strongly statically typed embeddable languages is due to an accident or a fundamental limitation of implementations of such languages. Is the type checker code too big? Is it too complex?

In Go, one has to always write the if-else bodies in curly braces (and, the opening brace should always be on the same line). I think this is great for two reasons. Firstly, it prevents bugs where a very tired programmer needs to add someth

I see your point, although I would probably use something like mruby[1] if I wanted something embeddable and OO. [1] http://mruby.org/

Don't we have already Lua for that? It even has a state-of-the-art JIT compiler. I am all in for competition, but I can't see how both of these languages could improve over Lua.

Recently I talked with my cousin, who is also a software engineer, about dependent types, contract programming, invariants, and all that. Among other things I've told him about "type-safe printf" that you can write in Idris.

What upsets me the most is the fact that Firefox Developer Tools still have no built-in way to inspect WebSocket frames. It's one of the few reasons I use Chrome these days.

I would prefer compilers that produce compact statically linked "binaries".
