That is why Macros and creating your own DSL is so powerful :)

He mentioned that they have them it is that they are just not updated or standardized since there are one person developing the library.

For DSL (DOmain Specific Languages) I use R for my data work. For general computing I use to be a Python and Lua person but now I use Racket, because I can create my own DSL for what I am doing. https://beautifulracket.com/

FORTRAN is still in much of the R Core. Fortran is faster than C++ and I actually feel that many people are starting to realize why we still have FORTRAN around. Though there are many using Python + Numpy R still have a larger piece of user

Dragonfly was certainly my favorite BSD, but not enough for me to leave Linux and OpenSUSE.

I currently use Boost and I like it, but I miss the old PIMs of the early 00s. I keep wanting to make my own old school pim as a pet project but that always stays in the back. It would be ncurses based :) I started with old wikis and then a

Also head and tail in Pandas is 1 based! That drove me crazy. print(users[users.age > 25].head(3)) Returns 3 elements and not 4!

I have zero understanding about this rant? 0 based is due to programming iteration. I don't use pandas because it is 0 based and it was a mistake. Domain Specific Languages for Statistics and "Math" have traditionally been 1

Alexis King has become a paid Haskell developer and so the desire to add in the "good" parts to Racket has been the driving force for this idea. I really love how flexible Racket I really feel like Lisp is finally coming closer an

In the near age of driverless cars I think this might be its biggest demise. If cars are automated people wouldn't need a train. It will be cheaper and less confining to a schedule and to a destination. I think air travel for short to

Well I can see your one of them. Remember Hess? I don't I grew up in CT and Allentown is an awesome city. :)

Actually the crime rate is fairly low for a city our size and the crime rate has had a consistent drop for the past 10 years. There are people who refuse to drive through Allentown due to fear of being a victim. http://www.lehigh

The funny thing is Billy Joel's song about the jobs actually wasn't Allentown but Bethlehem. There were plenty of jobs just not Bethlehem Steel jobs. Today it is a casino (I hate Casinos) and some art and public TV studios. Bethle

I don't see how GitHub will ever be dethroned due to the mind share and market share of Open Source projects. It is a simple process to move to GitLab BUT all the developer tools for many projects relies on GitHub. When I get a package
