especially Germany is a very poor example for this claim as school performance (PISA) in this country correlates with the parents academic background more than anything. if your parents aren't educated you can be intelligent AF and s

your point being "classic" (1920s? 1950s?) conservative is "not being big L libertarian"? Because in the other reading of classic, "typical" or "pike", big L libertarian is (1980s-2000s) peak &quot

the other big cobol feature is high precision (i.e. many digest) fixed point arithmetic. not loosing pennies on large sums, and additionally with well defined arithmetics, portably so as you point out, is a killer feature in finance. you n

thanks for clarifying. to all of this I agree: if the linker doesn't have namespaces (and it doesn't, unlike, say, the Java class loader, or even more extravagant the OSGi bundle loading mechanism), you need to flatten names into

I'd rather love to see confluent persistence in python, i.e. a git-like management of an object tree. so when you create a new call stack ( generator, async sth, thread) you can create a twig/branch, and that is modified in-place,
