I suspected as much. Still gotta dig into all this more deeply eventually , but given your anecdote it's probably fine to stretch this out over half a year, a weekend here, a train ride there, etc, rather than attacking it full-on

Prefer my own hacked-together static site generator. First iteration [1] was a mess, next (more-robust cleaner and faster) one is coming along nicely [2] and should replace [1] "any-day-now".. (nb. If you need Markdown or restruct

Luckily I first encountered "OO" after having already learned the concept of structs/records in Pascal, this way I did not have to seriously entertain the idea that simple scalars oughta be anything-but..

C is a bit dated and Lisp too wishy-washy, I'd suggest either Rust or Go for the Turing machine paradigm, and for the Lambda Calculus paradigm Haskell (or any truly comparably powerful robust "strictly" pure- and -lazy functi

I think they should just recompile the whole Electron app-wrapper shell (with its whole own webview + JS engine) into asm.js via emscripten via LLVM for "putting Atom in the browser". What could go wrong! While you're at it,

Too bad you didn't have a legacy "flat design" from the early 90s still at hand, saves time when changing trends every 10-15 years..
