In his book programming erlang Joe Armstrong talks about how erlang is OOP in the original sense. You spawn a bunch of light weight processes, and each process is like a living function with its own brain. Pony is a new similar language. Ea

Planes don't just fall out of the sky. Having 2 major crashed on the same model could indicate mechanical defects. When microsoft faced an issue with statistically increased failure rates they initially played the plausible deniability

From my understanding this library takes a grammar and generates a run time interpreter for that grammar. Antlr is much more similar as it takes in a grammar, and generates code you can hook into at any part of the grammar parsing. Racket o
