By the way, I love Python and use it every day, so I'm not trying to get into a language war. The difference between using a decorator and a lisp macro is that using a decorator is "using the syntax of the language to solve your p

>> Is it possible to use this technique to introduce, say, infix arithmetic operators, or ObjC's dot syntax? Yes and no. The fact that the language is a list (which is the same data structure that you use to manipulate value) is

I hear you but not really because you have to wrap everything in lambdas. Also, you didn't add a whole new variable in the workflow "it" but passed it as a function. You're right that I could have used a better example,

I've also been following your work akkartik by the way :] Sneaking from time to time on the arc forum. Keep up the great work!

Here's an example of why arc/lisp are great: (mac awhen (expr . body) `(let it ,expr (if it (do ,@body)))) This basically add a new syntax to the language. How often did you do in python: some_value = my_funct

I definitely see some uses to it as a way to pass client code to the server safely. What would stop the client from using global variable though?

My personal opinion is what killed most very good languages is the "elite" and "math" aspect of them. By elite I mean people who thought they were so much superior to everyone else (And they were!), that they'd left

It's the little bit everyday that adds up. Like piano practice session, you don't wake up one day being a master, you grind it out over 10 years, every day little by little. The most productive sessions are the ones where you stru

I don't disagree, but keep in mind that on the large codebase you want to avoid false negative in term of pep8 errors.. I.e. if every time you build you see 100s of errors, you start to ignore those.

The pep8 standard is also an easy read with so many useful explanations: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/

I think it's fine when the parent and children are really tied together. I wouldn't use that from the main component to a really nested children for instance. Let's say you have a "SearchComponent" with a "Sear

There is an amazing book on cryptography that explains the core concepts through the age of the technology. It was a really insightful read and I learned a lot about the history of computing at the same time.

It's always a trade-of between speed of development/maintenance vs performance. I think React is the best good enough compromise there is. It's really fast and a joy to work with. But obviously, in certain very specific cases

About the refs, I've been using a small helper: h.ref(this, 'some-element.children-element'); and its companion h.$ref(this, 'some-element.children..'); for the jquery version. I don't have a strict ru

Something noting is that more and more PaaS (Platform as a service) are using docker.. so sometimes you're not making the decision as a developer to use a docker, you're just forced to use it. I'm saying this because I know d

Is it possible to use atom right in the browser, rather than in a separate app? I know facebook engineers have an in-browser editor.. is this atom or something else?

We worked really hard to try to optimize angular code to make it "Fast enough" for our cordova app.. On the web, it doesn't really matter because everything was <20ms, but on the phone, the same operation was >250ms. We

Yes, this is a great one. Unless I'm mistaken, the best strategy has potentially one error, but all the rest would get it right, yes?

So the backend becomes a repository of small lambda-modules.. on a testing perspective, that's pretty cool. I agree that it could be the next big thing as new libraries leverage that. Basically, there's no more "Platform as a

So we wanted to learn/play with react native. The project idea was to play a hand of poker online randomly against someone in less than 30 seconds. The fun part is you can only fold or go all-in : )

From a developer standpoint, I always felt HTML and JS to be extremely tight together. So whether or not they're in different files, they were linked to each others. Now, with JSX, it just feel like a more powerful html without all the

I think it was just a fun side project. But as to how it could be used.. just a few weeks ago we were at a hackathon and built a quick poker texas holdem game. A library like that (arguably a bit more comprehensive) would have saved us a fe
