   I'm going to have to go with no. I'm not going to kneel before some spectre of Actors on the Outside (ooooOOOOooohhh). We live in perhaps the finest times of this specie's history, and it's foolish to limit and harm ours

   Yep. Erlang/Elixir is actually kind of a joy to work in for math stuff. Shoot me an email if you'd like to chat about that.

   How the hell did a bank end up with MUMPS? It's a disease primarily limited to the healthcare system, in my experience.

   That's a correct change--I chose the implementation that I did so that it was very obvious how the things remap to a "functional" approach. :) You see the point I'm driving at, though? (and thanks for prodding me into wr

   Okay, sure, let's look at it in Javascript. The task? Take a list of numbers, and produce a list containing only the squares of those numbers--and only those squares falling between 10 and 50. var inList = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10];

   So, I see what you're saying, but I maintain that without first-order functions, you can't do anything useful with code organization. If you wanted to simulate that, imagine writing in C or C++ or Javascript using only functions,

   Eh, I think that leaving out first-class functions is unforgivable. The complete spirit of functional programming can be neatly summed up as: "Functional programming is the creation of useful programs using only functions mapping input

   So, maybe that's an interesting thing you've got there, right? Time-dependent type systems--and that kind of makes me think of state machines. Not sure if there's anything there, but maybe there is. Maybe we can prove that ty

    So, how did you guys end up jumping on the Elixir train? New shiny, or practical reasons? :)

    An Elixir startup? Which one was this?

    Absolutely brilliant video. One of the best parts was when Pike brings up Erlang, and everyone just kind of mutters and looks down. I also like the part where Pike was like "Yeah, we statically verified the Plan 9 kernel somewhere, but

    Not really, as the article is covering a project near 20 years old. Who gives a shit when it was written?

    Had HPD stack up on an apartment I used to live at while I was gone...knocked once, roommate came out, and he managed to talk them out of raiding us. They really wanted the apartment down from us, which had been the alleged source of a bunc

    I was under the impression that fork() basically set up copy-on-write pages for the child process, and thus if it exec()'ed it would lose all those pages anyways and start fresh. Are those VM settings changing that behavior?

    What is the BSD answer to the OOM killer? Doesn't have one, right?

    Correct. For a more OOP model, I'd look at microservice architectures or something like the Erlang VM.

    This is really cool, but I'm kind of wondering when Microsoft will cancel the project. Because, you know, that's what they do.

    Hey, did those end up being any good? I wanted to buy some to develop on, but they didn't really seem to have their act together.

    It's important to recognize the flip side of the coin (based on my own experience): If you aren't articulating your vision well, then of course early employees won't be doing what you expect--and if you don't document wh
