   I personally think it would just be fun to re-program myself. What would life be like if I could make myself less argumentative? If I could turn myself Christian? If I could make myself enjoy OOP? Also, imagine all the various hardware upda

    Are you talking about Chrome or Edge? Both are better than Safari on iOS though, which does force you to use it.

    I totally agree with you. I like using symbols to shape the way I think, and I find using AutoHotKey to to expand typed strings works well for my workflow. Stuff like "qbeta", "qright", "qdegree" and "q@&q

    I have ~8 months of Clojure experience and ~3 years of F#. Clojure's REPL and feedback loop is bloody marvelous. F# also has a REPL, but it doesn't compare. However I still prefer F#'s type-safety. (I believe) a key part of h
