I would offer that compared with Clojure, Fortran is like a DSL for numbers crunching. Does it make sense?

Perhaps, but it would be easy for Apple to break it at the next upgrade, and it would not be unlike them to do it. Oh, and I would have to jailbreak iPhone to use it.

The code at the link is Elisp, so it is for Emacs. In addition, as the code comment says, function clojure-font-lock-setup is based on code from function clojure-mode defined in clojure.el

A great story behind this animated film is that it was calculated using differential equations which describe the movement of the cat's body parts. One of the programmers (N. Konstantinov) described how it was done in a recent online public

Which is just as well (I hope you agree) - if people care enough about those cartoon characters, however obscure, let them have a wikipedia entry.

"If they indeed didn't do it, they would have revved up their propaganda machine to the maximum denying everything." This is a good argument, but I am not sure how strong it is. I can easily imagine them not doing that.

Rabin was assassinated for political reasons, as part of internal (Israel's) political discourse. This guy was assassinated for completely different reasons, as part of an ongoing war (or, if you prefer, anti-terrorist operation). "Can you

Hitler got away with annexing Sudetenland. And yet his photographs and "footage showing how the operation was conducted" was widely available. Not getting away with something means having been punished for that. I do not see it happening th

A great read, but... Most people says Israel did it even though nobody has a proof of the case. Israel is the usual suspect in any death of a Palestinian terrorist, and so far there has been little more than the usual suspicious. A couple o

Yes, reading specific interviews is one way to read it. Another way is reading every interview and comparing answers to the common questions Peter asked. Some answers are close to home, some unique, all interesting. Comparing them may be ed

Lisp is clean and the grammar is simple, that is true. But many kids want to see results as soon as possible, and there are languages (or rather systems based on certain languages) where this can be achieved faster and easier. Perhaps a lis

If something is legal but not accepted by the society, there is a good reason for going anonymous right there. Or simply not wanting to be associated with something.

Not an artificial language, I do not think so (backward compatibility etc). A language could breed a simpler/cleaner language, that happens, but it is a different language. Natural languages are a different story. English has arguably becom

I do not think science has anything to do with it. My impression of Charles is he is liberal in the classical sense of the word, not the modern American sense (loosely related to the left side of the political spectrum). So I am not surpris

Several years ago I stopped reading newspapers (paper versions, on the regular basis) and watch tv. And I have a feeling that I am now better informed -- from the Internet. However, I make a point of monitoring a number of sources, to avoid
