Yes. An example from 250 years ago is spelling "behaviour" as "behavior" that infected whole US.

Which ones? All I see is just a handful of distinct commands. Those commands take arguments, and they are called with those arguments over and over again, but there's very little magic in the article. And, in fact, very little of t

The most basic of everything is that REST assumes that you won't ever try to call an operation on the resource, apart maybe from creating or destroying it (and God forbid running an operation that is not tied to any resource at all,

And how these affect operator's workflow? That is, the ways an operator interacts with the tools? The facts that Java is garbage collected or that it runs on virtual machine don't fundamentally change how programmers write code in

Of course you don't, but those nuances and specifics are usually superficial and don't change how you approach your environment. You think there is that much of a difference between running Puppet, CFEngine, or Chef?

Well, four years is what Wikipedia states. I don't think there was anything as prominent as Docker on cgroups that was as old as ten years, since cgroups are that old. LXC was started eight years ago, and then Docker hijacked the subsy

No, this is not how you write DSLs. It's still general purpose Ruby, only with API specific to some task. I understand you would like to feel better because you've designed a language , but you haven't, it's just an API

Then you set up yourself for a failure. Another Python or Ada, except much younger and with no libraries and probably no way to interact with anything already written, most likely won't gain any traction. Especially that the goal you&#

Because it's not superior , not on its own. You need context to tell which one is better. Not to mention that you look too closely, so you miss higher-level design that makes the difference between functional and imperative languages.

And then, inside this "DSL" in Lisp, can you have a completely different language, with significant spaces and unmatched parentheses? Or is it just Lisp data structures that are then interpreted and you're pretending to use
