> Why aren't we replacing CSV with it, especially for big data applications? Big data applications tend to use other structured binary formats like parquet and avro, which any big data tool can typically parse.

pyspark might be the go-to language for data scientists playing with the spark repl, or MLLib, but for production data engineering, scala is still king. Besides performance and the obvious fact that not knowing scala makes it difficult to u

How would that work? Any coin that is bought is also sold, so you're saying that the buys come from a few people buying big amounts? But all those sellers were buyers at some point...

This is a legitimate concern - I've built some production lisp services that handled JSON back and forth, and you need to address this specifically. My solution was to hook custom encoders and decoders to `cl-json`, converting null to

I think the 1000 doors version does help, if you clearly explain the point that "now, if you switch, the only way you lose is if you had guessed the right door out of the 1000!"

I don't think your math adds up. Your triple shifted version would be between -1 or 2 depending on the cut right? So, still 1/2.

What an awesome resource to introduce someone to lisp. I would add "On Lisp" by Paul Graham to the final recommendations. If you don't mind quite a bit of opinionated writing, "let over lambda" can be a fun read too

While I don't doubt the author's claims about the CL community being unwelcoming, my admittedly anecdotical experience with it was very different: I wrote a small utility library this year (cl-strings) as my first ever open source

That would mean that all the GM's very well documented decline after 35 has to with lack of obsession at that age, which seems a rather strong claim. Maybe amateurs learning at different ages is a different phenomena than the top compe

There are many good points in this article and even the variety of Common Lisp implementations in existence attest to the author's point. It seems that everyone is rolling out their whole new CL implementation. That said, even if it we

One reason is that there are projects/situations where language stability can outweight the benefits of language evolution. While this isn't the coolest view out there, the fact the the ANSI standard didn't need to be revised

It's a very straightforward use case, actually. We have c++ code on the AI/ML side of our company, well integrated with the rest of the stack. For some of our ideas in this area though, lisp was clearly very suitable, so we tried

Congratulations! ECL is very mature, and this release seems to further solidify that aspect of the project. We've been using it heavily at our startup with no problems, embedded with c++. I think it's a very well done implementati

The smaller the effective stacks, the better it would be for a bot. For instance, below 15bb stacks, a bot could just play nash equilibrium and be unexploitable. By definition, the human would have to do the same, or become -ev by deviating
