I've looked at the languages related to APL and it doesn't seem there is a solid open-source implementation. J (closed source, free), A+ (GPL, inactive), K (closed source, commercial)

I don't think I'm ready for Haskell, but we are thinking along the same lines. Coffeescript is indeed the least interesting of the list. It seems I've accidentally ordered the list in ascending order of interest. Ragel has caught my eye fro

I've considered it but it doesn't feel right at the moment. Definitely a language I want to learn in the future though.

A bit annoying that I can see the content under the semi-transparent overlay that says I need to turn on Javascript. Why do websites that don't really need JS force you to turn it on? "JavaScript for Mobile Safari is currently turned off."

It's not just about the requests. Some developers forget that not everyone has 8gb of RAM and a quad-core CPU. Those scripts add up and clog both memory and CPU time.

The DomainTools archiving can be annoying. I don't think they will want to remove your data, it would set a bad precedent for them. An archive of previous whois records is by definition going to have out of data information, so that probabl

An eye for an eye is not about torturing, maiming or murdering anyone. It's a metaphor. Taking down their website for a few hours, is fairly close to harmless. I agree that they shouldn't be doing this. If they really want an eye for an eye
