Interesting idea, but I think it ignores the fact that languages aren't equal. You may be able to save on hardware with gwan, but there's also the fact that writing your webapp in C could take a lot more time and effort than, say, php, ruby

prefix , not postfix: (* (+ 1 2) (/ (+ 3 6) (+ 1 2))) I was also skeptical regarding the readability of prefix notation vs. postfix for large problems. However, when I tried it, I actually found it easier to handle. For example, h

On the other hand, most heat transfer relations are proportional to delta-T, so a T' = 1/T definition would make thing like q = h (T_2-T_1) become q = h( 1/T'_2 - 1/T'_1 ) Perhaps unlike the case for pi, I think there's a good argument her

I know this. They use dnode ( https://github.com/substack/dnode ) for most of their inter-process/inter-browser communication, which uses socket.io for the web action.

This might be the ticket: http://inventwithpython.com/ . I haven't gone through it really, but the goal of teaching through making games is similar, and I do know he wrote a pretty good clone of gorillas ( http://github.com/jesusabdullah/

I'm currently an engineering masters student, and the code I've written is available on github, if not properly licensed (I'm seriously considering slapping the CRAPL onto it now that I'm aware of it). I don't really care too much about pol
