It's more like, "What are the prime factors of the numeric representation of your name", and then the sweet is awarded to the store of the person with that name. It doesn't buy you anything if you relay someone else's answer.

If we consider the money/medium of exchange as its own resource. When someone invents a hoe freeing up time for other desires, its not the value of the crops that falls. Wealth is not a zero-sum game. The new houses built have added actual

I've thought about this as well and IMO computer science makes sense as mathematics with a concept of side effects. In that way the universe is more a computer program than a mathematical equation.

Not buy, more like wants, If no one wants it then it is effectively worthless. Buying is just a means to satisfy a want.

I wonder if a modern, practical programming language could be taught through a game where you "level up" on the basis of language knowledge. Maybe something like a game which teaches concepts like Message Passing and concurrency using an Er

Currently working through Joe Armstrong's programming erlang. I'm interested in functional programming and concurrent programs and erlang seems to fit really well. I also find Clojure very cool :)
