   I was asked to implement a random number generator in an interview not too long ago. This article should help...

   Ehh. Until the 'job' gets extended and then your simple tool makes it exponentially more complex and you have to rewrite it with the more powerful tool.

   F# probably is best in class here: https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/units-of-measure/

   Honestly, I've been positively surprised by F#. Nice syntax, functional-first, pragmatic design.

    As we know no bugs are present in statically typed programs.

    I'm using F# + Rider at the moment as my language of choice for implementing interpreters and compilers and I have to say, I'm very pleased so far.

    Also there's ABCL. Yet, I have never personally been in a company or heard of a colleague where they were allowed to deviate from Java or C#. Many times it was a struggle to even get IntelliJ licenses.

    I would rather use this: https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl along with a little scripting.

    There is significant 'political' pressure to use whatever is already used and has the libraries. That's C, C++, Java, etc. most of the time. If the libraries and tools were truly language independent then I'm certain mor

    For those who are downvoting me: Javascript was deliberately invented to be Scheme without the Lisp syntax... Jesus.

    Yeah, it's called Lisp.

    To me, this is a very pretentious take. Nothing about the usage of "the" in the examples is unusual or creepy. Saying "an eye" or "my eye" that winks at "an" or "my" hand results in a differ

    I'm working through it at the moment (in Python and Julia) and it's great so far. > https://monkeylang.org/ Do you know if the tutorials strongly depend on Go or can I easily map it to other languages?

    Let's just agree to disagree. You will understand when you come up with a term of your own.

    I'd like it to use Julia much more than either R or Python, tbh.
