Why do you think I'm advocating Java, because the word Java is contained in my post? I know C++, Python, Common Lisp and Haskell pretty good. I asked serious questions why problems are solved in the way they're solved, which language featur

"However, can you clarify why you would argue for type classes over duck/structural typing? You indicate that 'type classes are the way to go' but don't explain why." Like kscaldef said, you know at compiletime if something can quack, and t

"He also said that there's no mechanism to compensate for the absence of duck typing. In Haskell, at least, there are type classes which allow you to make your types as duck as you would wish, maybe slightly less." I think that type classes

"And no, that doesn't bum me out." Yes, I think the difference is for what you're using this picture. One way would be to get depressed, to suffer from the meaningless of life. But then you have just used the picture to feed the one, who is

"I think I tend to be more of an absurdist than anything else. Interesting for those interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absurdism. Thanks, nice find. I always thought I'm an existentialist, but no, I'm an absurdist.

I think the problem of Lisp is, that it's very powerful and very dynamic. As long you're working alone, that's not that much of an issue, but with more developers you need to add more security nets, without the aid of a powerful type system

Why we're using C++? Because we're writing 3d graphics and memory heavy gui applications for the engineering world. In this regard the combination of Qt and OpenSceneGraph is quite nice. I really can't understand, how someone can favour C f

Overstimulation isn't boring, otherwise people wouldn't seek for it. Overstimulation is emotionally very engaging, but unfulfilling. It's a short emotional high, which people want to feel all the time, so they're searching for the next stim
