If you are going to reach for a language that runs on the Erlang VM, and you like Lisp, LFE (Lisp Flavoured Erlang)[1] is a nice choice. And one of Erlang's creators, Robert Virding, created LFE. [1] https://lfe.io/

Not in the sense you probably mean, but I have performed three or four analyses when I worked at an engineering firm (entertainment - structural, mechanical) in F#. One involved an FSI system (Fluid-Solid Interaction using Project Chronos i

Exactly! I liked using it to program Blender3D scripts in 2004/5, but then lost any love for Python.

No, you're not shallow. Rust's syntax has put me off a lot. I was looking to learn an alternate Erlang VM language and liked Gleam, which originally had a Haskell/ML syntax, but they've decided it's a popularity con

No, self-reliant people make enough income to pay taxes to have municipal roads made and this employs people to work for the municipality. A majority of toll roads were private in the 1790s on, and a lot were not subsidized by the governmen

I delved into LFE, and I was a proponent when Elixir was just catching on, but Elixir's momentum just washed it away. I believe Elixir earned it, but I think it had a heavy kickstart from all of the Ruby programmers who took to it. And

I would too. You work for the money, and it is natural to want to hold on to it. I am arguing that I don't believe in gaming the system of taking government handouts, because I didn't earn it; I qualify because for some reason I c

Exactly this. Once a budget is increased for whatever reason, it is almost impossible to take it back to previous levels without a lot of effort. I didn't say abolish food stamps.

I did read the article. My main point was that EBT was increased as an emergency measure, so it seems reasonable that it should return to the previous level before the pandemic. I realize the article makes a point about further cuts, and th

Ha, yes, Lisp is the strange attractor or gravity well I always flow back into after trying other PLs. Don't get me wrong, I like Zig (to replace my old C ways), SPARK2014 (which has achieved what Rust is evolving towards), and my othe

Glad to see F# vs. C#. I prefer F# and it doesn't get as much play as C#. But, being more of a Lisper, I've already subscribed to Acceλerate for Microsoft 365[1]. It's basically a full scheme available in Excel with VSA (Visu

'Slash' is a loaded word in the headline. Food-stamp benefits increased during the pandemic to help people get by, but now that unemployment is so low, and the pandemic is pretty much done, why shouldn't they cut them back? U

I find APL and J to be functional enough and terse to a point of beauty once you get it. Look at solutions on rosettacode.org between Haskell and J or APL to get a feel for what I am saying. Rust's syntax is a turn off, but that is a

It is more a version thing, and I always put it in the name to differentiate from Apache's Spark. That and the all-uppercase letters.

Belkin made the Nostromo, which I had and used for AutoCAD. I sold it, and then I bought a Razer Nostromo later in 2013/14. They both had analog joysticks, or the plus-sign multi-switch on Nintendo devices. It had a thumbstick you coul

I agree, but I think you should then look at SPARK2014 [1]. Rust just has better marketing and a bigger company behind it, but SPARK2014 is simpler and has been delivering Rust's bullet list for almost 10 years. [1] https:/&#x2F

I love J and APL, but April takes the cake for me[1]. APL in Lisp. I also prefer SPARK2014 instead of Rust if I am not going to use C. I've started learning Rust a few times. SPARK2014 is easier to get going for me, and it has been use

The one big use case was RabbitMQ in a messaging app, not HFT. I doubt Elixir even with Nx can compete with low-level HFT code. Python DL/ML code libraries are just wrappers around C too. Maybe if BeamAsm and Nx are used Elixir could b

Do you agree with edubart's runtime vs. compile time distinctions between Nelua and Terra? I was interested in Terra a while back, but it didn't seem to get a lot of traction. This three-year-old critique put the nail in the coffi
