I think the main problem here is that it's not just you, but also your transitive dependencies.

After reading this FAQ I got an impression that language with built-in AST reflection capabilities (i.e. equivalent of quasiquotes) should be considered homoiconic in a sense that the language exposes code as data. For example: Scala [1], E

Author of those slides here. They were made on the next day after the language was presented on WWDC and were based purely on the first draft of the Swift book published online by Apple. Needless to say the book was more of a tutorial than

Racket has probably the best macro system out of all existing lisps available to date. Plus it has concept of extensible languages via #lang. If you care about lisp-style macros and meta-programming that's probably the main reason why

Python's unpacking is a poor man's pattern matching. I'd really love to see them extend it to support user-defined patterns like Scala's extractors or F#'s active patterns.

And under modern Smalltalk do you imply modern Java?

There is little connection if any between people speaking Russian and those wanting a "Russian" Ukraine. I come from russian-speaking part of Ukraine myself and hardly anyone here supports current government.

It's been 10 years since the first Scala release, not since the inception of the language.

Things are very very alpha at the moment. Yes, it's huge now but is going to change in the future. Don't get discouraged by this as it's nowhere near final production version.

Why C but not llvm? Structured code generation is always better than string-based one.

The question has been asked numerous times on various PyCons. And all the time Guido says that python is "fast enough" and doesn't need all the complications that JIT will bring into the codebase. In the same vain he speaks of GIL as someth

Performance is truly impressive. And I really love how small the codebase actually is. I've been dreaming about writing my own text editor for quite some time. This will really help me to get started, thanks a lot nsf! p.s. panic on opening

If I'm not mistaken Guido has been thinking about anonymous code blocks as a possible purpose of the with statement but he was persuaded not to do such a thing as it won't fit into python's core concept TOOWTDI (there is only one way to do

I know a few large scale corporations that license Mongo from 10gen including their commercial support. I really don't see any issue here. http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/MongoDB+Commercial+Servi...

How in particular are they blocked by Mongo license? It's AGPL but it only applies to changes made to the database source code itself. It doesn't impose any requirements on your application if you are just talking to Mongo over the wire.

That's an incredible idea. I really wish it was available a desktop application though. Such an app could gather information from multiple sources (including companion mobile apps) and maybe even location-aware social networks. It's useful

You might want to look at Go. It always felt like a revised version of C with great standard library and sane defaults.
