An example structured editor based on MPS: http://mbeddr.com/ It allows state-machines to be coded in an enhanced C like language with nice visual representations.

An approach that might work with existing languages is: To use a traditional flat editor (not a structured editor), but show inferred information around the code. I am thinking of visuals that are akin to http://explainshell.com&

Looks like a slow news day. A dynamically typed language is obviously easier to begin coding in, especially with a trivial example. The problems that statically typed language solve are usually found in larger code bases and in performanc

Not to forget Dan Brown's novel "Digital Fortress" which is entirely based on NSA and its cryptographic efforts! I coincidentally saw it just after Snowden's revelations and was surprised that such a topic was the subjec

I like option 3. Why is it a bad outcome for the average electricity user? As the demand on the grid reduces the prices should fall down for those using the grid. In the very least, they shouldn't be affected.

I don't have hopes of Google restoring the AppOps functionality in the future. Most of the apps require these excessive permissions because of third-party ad libraries. Google's AdMob library is the most popular of these libraries

An alternative could be to let the user decide if Gmail should prefetch images from a sender or not. Email from familiar senders would have images prefetched (thus avoiding leaks of user data). And DDOSing concerns would be reduced because

Yes, India might be a target, though by the time it goes through customs, it won't be $179 anymore. It will be more like $250 - 300. At that price range there are many other good alternatives available here (especially rebranded Chines

I am surprised that such an experiment hasn't been conducted before! Was it just caution that held them back or something else? Since the moon lacks an atmosphere, there is zero chance of contamination of the moon with plants.

Although I appreciate this discussion, both the OP and you are off-topic. This is a library design issue, not a language level issue. If people like OP are dissing a language because they don't like a particular library's API, the
