Thanks. I think for this lang the pitch is pretty clear, it looks like fennel is lisp for Lua libs (like clojure is lisp for Java) in a nutshell.

Who knows? But could you point exactly to where it says why I should care about this language? Let's say I want to convince a cto to adopt it, what would be the edge one could/would gain? Maybe it has some exceptional libraries? O

I disagree. 'Think Lua' is not an good explanation. I mean if I want Lua, I use Lua.

So what is it good for? Edit:maybe my comment was too short, but for me it is important to know what problem a new language solves (better). And I seriously think the landing page does not explain it well/at all. I mean like: D is C++

Looks like somebody learned the wrong lesson from lisp.

Would 'even at old age' be a more accurate title than 'even into old age'?

Well Bezos donated 12 billion already, and who knows how much more he will donate. He probably couldn't donate every year that amount, so if you say in 20 years it is 150$/20=7.50per year which is less than a dollar per month (adm

Everybody can choose to donate, nobody should donate (otherwise it is also not really a donation if you should). Singling out rich guys to donate who do not donate could actually be counterproductive (since people just feel the responsibili

How much do you donate annually? 10 Million people donating 100$ per year is substantially more than he could ever donate.

Looks to me only good for academics who can discover new things from old texts. Not sure how it help Stem research.

Too many steps. What about 3 steps?

Currently conscientiousness is considered part of the big 5 which seem to be stable through your life. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits I couldn't find if it can be trained during bringi

Tried understanding Zettelkasten for a while, searched the internet, bought one/some books. But it was always too light on examples. I need full beefed out examples (like a 100 pages Zettelkasten) or let's say 10 pages. Of course

What is also confusing that for physics to be a tensor/vector only the transformation behavior under the orthogonal group is considered, so acceleration is a vector. Math and GR (ok, this is also physics) then uses the coordinate trans

Probably he had to think it through which first words were appropriate.

I believe it is also an evolutionary advantage. Let's assume with all information available it looks like the rational best decision to do something. Then unexpectedly that thing kills you. There is only a species left if not everybody

Yes, I read it and I agree with your text. My point was just that goto is not evil, sometimes it is your best option (like in the parent if loops do not have break). On a side one could argue that early returns, while often used, are not st

It is a prejudice. Knuth and Torvalds think goto is valuable. See https://pic.plover.com/knuth-GOTO.pdf https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8760518 (Somewhere on the internet is a discussion when somebody

Having the solar cells on the side looks like a wrong design. But let's assume there is some on the roof. 1sqm of panel in Sri Lanka shd generate 150 Watts during clear day, according to one source you need 6.8kwh (which sounds too hig

You could even then go one step further back: the root cause is that animals developed in a way that they need vitamin C. (ok, now it is getting silly)

With imminent apocalypse do you mean things like acid rain/tree dying, energy (oil) crisis, next ice age coming, nuclear destruction of the planet, nuclear hazard of power plants, Ozon layer depletion?
