Absolutely, explicit vs implicit is part of imperative vs. functional. And doing more with less information is elegant - and has a deeper significance in terms of Occam's Razor, that simplicity tends to closer to the truth, and therefo

General education in a commit is questionable... OTOH find -exec and escaping the ';' (or '+' for xargs-like one line) was helpful (hard to parse --help, though manpage is clear). Now I don't know what to think.

You may need to exercise some charity here. I've been trying to see why fp isn't intuitive for me. I suspect it's like a second (human) language acquired as an adult: only those with a talent for language (maybe 5%?) can beco

Amazon needed to create AWS to be able to run all that perl performantly (joke). Actually, a lot of programming language improvements have come from trying to make lisp performant.

Implicit also means a tradeoff in estimating performance, an instance of an abstraction leaking. I've been trying to think of a totally clean functional abstraction, i.e. that's functional under the hood, but there's no way t

Even in maths, I find a solution in terms of the problem easier to understand than one in terms of the previous step. Even when the recursive form is a more natural representation, like arithmetic sequences: start at s , increase by d wi

Perhaps arguing semamtics, but Neanderthals ( Homo sapiens neanderthalensis https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal ) were "human": could interbreed, and had Lucy etc as common ancestors.

I think that's the "we just happened to be first" argument. Which could be true, but not very satisfying, because no detail.

What was the evolutionary pressure that made us intelligent - could it be ranged attack ? First, what I'm calling the Geo-Fermi Paradox - why are we the only intelligent animal on Earth? Sure, it has advantages - but other animals w
