The locking thing has not turned out to be a really serious problem for me, and I have several gigabytes of email. mu index is really fast. Also, using the Emacs sendmail hasn't been a real problem. It turns out I don't need to

The tense-space system is a good example. By default, a sentence like "mi tavla"/"I talk" doesn't convey any temporal information. But you could add a tense particle like "pu": "mi pu tavla"

It's more like Prolog with a maximum arity of 5 and about a thousand particles with complicated effects. The reference text says with some pride that it is "as simple as C++."

You have a doc section named "Lvalues." Nobody talks about lvalues outside C++.

How does your language compare to the glut of modern systems-ish languages like Rust, Go, Swift, Julia, Nim? I see a lot of C++ influence here. Your docs don't explain how you make parallelism ergonomic, but the "async" keywo

Python does encourage the perspective that there is a single right way to do things. This isn't necessarily true at the high-level, but at the low level of a handful of lines, it often is true. Like Hillel, I have often thought that my

What I really want (and I will annoy you by talking about J instead of Dyalog) is resources for intermediate users, because there is a significant amount of literature for beginners and experts but I agree with Hillel that the road between

I definitely agree with Hillel's prescription here. In a complex topic, you need different kinds of literature. For beginners, there is J for C Programmers , and for experts there is NuVoc and the official dictionary. But for interm

There is some discussion of your paper on math.stackexchange here: https://math.stackexchange.com/a/1900048/24124 I have no idea why you think proving a famous conjecture would endanger your life, but if that is t

You're assuming the economy in NM gets better, but luckily we've been remarkably upturn-resistant, at least throughout my life.

I loved it when I went a couple years ago, but this was a problem for me too. I'd like to take my kids, but they're small (6 and 3) and I worry that the stream of people will be a problem for them too, so I keep thinking of trying

To understand how computers work is the reason that compilers is the capstone class in many CS programs. It unites automata with algorithms and machine code, bringing everything together in one program. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't

Supposedly, lithium ion batteries like to be totally drained before being charged and then charged to max before being unplugged. I personally find this regime difficult to attain with phones because I'd rather not have the phone die w

Apple may have intended it to be about price, but look at all the complaining. A lot of people bought it for size.

You sure about that? The XS is smaller than the XR.

I wish the world adopted ML's modules and functors. Especially higher-order functors, which are kind of an extension of the standard. But I think Go is more worried about compiler performance, so if there are significant complexities i

I have to give him credit, I was here to complain about it.

One thing that makes Julia cool is that adding the types improves performance, but you don't have to add them if you don't want to.

I've only been learning for about a week, but I think if you're a nerd for language design, you will appreciate it on an aesthetic level as a very tight design around a powerful concept. Common Lisp also has multiple dispatch, but

M4 is an interesting macro language, but developed (IMO) a somewhat undeserved reputation for being awful because it is how you build autoconf inputs as well as sendmail configuration files. Guilt by association. M4 has some "interesti

The difference between red and green chile is whether it has been dried, but nobody here calls it sauce (even though it almost always is). Hatch is a town that produces it, but they're technically Anaheim peppers. However, if you walk

The idea was to replace Emacs's embedded Elisp interpreter with Guile's, not to rewrite Emacs in Guile Scheme.
