   What's the equivalent in elixir for something like this? func do(a Param) (res Result, err error) { var aPrime T if aPrime, err = getResource(a); err != nil && err == RecoverableError { aPrime

   The portion of comment I was replying to was "no start or end" . This is reactive programming. Having said that, other than Excel and some cute UI things, I've not seen much utility in reactive paradigms. Hence I am bearish o

   There's a term that's gaining popularity in the last 15 years: reactive paradigm of programming.

   Funnily enough, excel is a programming language. I don't mean VB Script or macros. I mean with the equations, ranges, and constraints - that's a programming languages there. A cell is simply a computational variable (as opposed to

    Measure theory showing up was a surprise. On that note, also check out Dichronauts and the three Orthogonal books. Dichronauts ended terribly and I stopped reading Egan for a while after that book. Come to think about it he doesn't rea

    Not numpy, but Gorgonia tensors are just pointers. The reason: it's cheaper to pass around one word than the absolute minimum "fatness" to pass around a multidimensional array. The absolute minimum meta info required for a m

    There are several factors as to why the Haskell program no longer worked - first is that I'm a crappy Haskell programmer. A lot of the things I thought I was doing ended up being NOT what I want upon reflection many years later (it was

    My oldest "big" Go project started in 2010. Last commit date was 2013 - https://asciinema.org/a/cJosP51z0oScKPLmVUhyNKUOj It still runs today. I have Haskell and Python programs that are somewhat smaller from

    To add to that, while Gorgonia's Tensor ( https://github.com/gorgonia/tensor ) library is fairly mature, plenty of work can still be done. Gorgonia proper too has plenty of work to be done on improving the various V

    Most of these "analyses" especially from Ian has backing code changes. This for example, is my experiment with trying to give Go a backing calculus that supports generics https://asciinema.org/a/166748 The ru

    I put it to you that most other language communities do not deliberate as much on generics. Consider the document that Ian Lance Taylor put out: https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/
