   Thanks for the recommendation. I'd probably need the undergraduate version unfortunately. But this internet stranger wants to encourage you write the book for kids someday.

    You might like to check out Chapter 2 of "The Art of Prolog"; it has enough information to tell you how to make a bare-bones prolog interpreter.

    There is a terminology issue here, with "generic" being overloaded to mean different things. Parametric polymorphism is what Go is adding. You'd like to see something like ad hoc polymorphism in Elm, like type-classes in Ha

    Here's an unrelated question. Do we think essentially all stars are contained within galaxies? Or could there be there free-floating stars in the universe that aren't confined to galaxies?

    Think of a physical zipper, where the two sides with the teeth come together to interlock... xs = [1,2,3,4,5,6,... ys = [a,b,c,d,e,f,... [ (1,a), (2,b), (3,c), (4,d), (5,e), |6| |f| |7|

    FWIW, it was easier to me to follow your intent with the second example. The only clunky thing about is was the zip followed by the comprehension. It might be slightly nicer with something like: return max(xs[1:]-xs[:-1]) ...using

    I don't think you can appreciate types until you start dabbling in something like Haskell.

    Probably because it gets harder to name things as they get more abstract and more generic? I'd be interested to see your three favorite examples. Or I guess those would be the most obnoxious examples.
