Too bad if these luminaries indulged in most invigorating optimism without more questioning of their assessment of "human nature on the whole". Not to blame them, at least they had a bright-future-envisionment worked out among the

To quote: This list is basically a curriculum for decades of learning about the wonders of computers --- now "decades" would rather suggest that they not be perused as a full-time occupation . To your point: mostly agree, but

Magically? Without consequence? In all situations? I wouldn't ever (and didn't) go that far in my statements.. guess I'm not part of "y'all" =)

I'll take that table-turn! Well my intuition here goes like so: think back to the first moment in life you heard about a "lever" --- then "synergy". Chances are, the former was an illuminating childhood moment when

None of your explanations/examples counter the fact that you could also declare your anonymous-func just above your loop in a local, ie. `doit:= func(item...` and then simply `go doit(item)` in the loop. You get: a leaner terser loop

Crikey! You wouldn't wanna allocate closures in a loop anyway, would you? Even if the compiler is smart about it. Doesn't read so well either.. what's wrong with adding a simple argument to your anonymous-func allocated outsi

"Extensions" has just turned out to be a sub-optimal moniker. They're not some third-party-compiler-plugins-to-be-installed-into-GHC, they're more like (rather involved) syntax sugars you can enable if needed. Each such
