   Ok, the HN pedants are out in force. The guy is an astrophysicist and knows what he's talking talking. He's not saying dark energy is a repulsive gravitational force, he's saying it appears to us as such because we just see

   Logtalk is an impressive piece of work. Development of Trealla Prolog would not have gotten to where it is without the impetus to support Logtalk and the feedback from Paulo.

    I've read this before on HN, even some comments. Getting a weird deja-vu vibe.

    Well l is a cell pointer to a list. The nested if-then-else is riffing on the cell's tag to hide all the numerous internal representations for an atom/string, eg. intern'd to cell, in fixed atom-table, as malloc'd C-st

    I blame Glam Rock. Specifically T-Rex's appearance on Top Of The Pops in March of 1971. It was all downhill from there.
