Interactive debugging is not "relatively easy to hack into the language". In fact, it's impossible since Clojure lacks the Common Lisp condition system. When an exception is thrown in Java, the stack unwinds meaning all sta

You either are not paying attention to what he wrote or, alternatively, "fully devoted" doesn't mean the same to you as it does to him (and me). BTW: Everything is fundamentally mechanical, you should check out Norbert Wiener

Think of it as an early warning system. You immediately know who the idiots are, so you don't need to waste any time finding that out for yourself. I put Clojure in the same category, if we examine it outside the Java ecosystem, a lang

Not sure what you mean by pretty serious about the web, infrastructure and platforms. To me this reads as an oxymoron because Python is not a pretty serious language. It's a toy at best. There is not a single feature that Python introd

Amen brother. If you make one mistake in your thinking, it's treating Python as more than a christmas hack (which it started out as). It's not a serious language, it has no design behind it and is decades behind the state of the a

This is like the cripple making fun of the blind man. When your competition is NodeJS there is nothing really left to say.

It's unique to Python in that most other languages used for more than just scripting have true concurrency via OS preemptive threads with no GIL. Python is really decades behind in this area and no async hack is going to improve matter

FreeBSD is fine for a single-user system with no expectations of security. Given the number of trivially exploitable kernel issues it has, it's absolutely terrible for a server, shared hosting or any kind of multi-user environment. Mor

He is also stone cold paranoid, hard to reason with, charges extra full amount for different OSes when the codebase is the same (he is using QT for fucks sake), extra for x64 (the PRO version), and has kept a stranglehold on the entire reve

100% agree. OSX is not an OS one should be running if one cares about security (but then neither is unhardened Linux). Guides such as these are meaningless at best and can give people the illusion of security or worse, you can't build

Ah Spender. Always the drama queen. The real problem here is not companies abusing the GPL (good luck with that), but grsecurity not being integrated with mainline after more than a decade. You see, if Spender really cared about security he
