My impression was that the average age was mid-20s but there were definitely older people in those photos and at least one or two people with families of their own. It must be the revitalizing effect of hacker school that makes everyone loo

PEGs are effectively regular expressions with recursion. What you are describing is a packrat parser. So long as the parsing-language is context-free (ie you don't allow the values extracted to be in scope during parsing) then you can make

I tried it out a few years back. Using it from clojure was a bit painful at the time but you might have more luck today. Qt-Jambi relies pretty heavily on Java introspection eg scanning the fields of a class to find things of type Slot. I a

I'm vaguely aware of Bondi but I haven't gotten around to trying it out. It definitely influenced me when deciding to make patterns first class instead of sticking to OMeta's OOP design.

Author here. Strucjure has much more expressive power. Strucjure views are first-class values and can call other views (or recursively call themselves). This allows them to recognise eg context free grammars. Most of the examples in this po

I'm working on a port of BloomL for clojure which will include a semi-naive datalog interpreter (it will already support naive, monotonic datalog by tonight). It will likely never be as well optimised as the Datomic libs but it is LGPL. Sou

I wish I had more upvotes for this. Geometric Algebra is both simpler and more general than traditional complex geometry or vector calculus and for most students is a much more intuitive way to approach complex numbers.

Brick-and-mortar stores themselves don't create anything. They buy in bulk and sell at a markup, thus adding liquidity to the grocery market. Imagine if you had to buy carrots by the tonne.
