That's a fair point. I misunderstood your question.

To my own question, I'll add the 99 Problems for Scheme, Prolog, Ocaml, Haskell, Scala, and various other languages, as mentioned elsewhere on this thread. They contain a surprising amount of basic computer science in very short questi

I'll add my usual comment in discussions about interpreter/compiler books: I'd really love to read a modern book or in-depth tutorial on creating a statically-typed functional language, with discussions on pattern matching, t

I agree with Filligree that sealed classes are not really capable of emulating type classes. They can be used for algebraic data types, which is great, but for true extensible type classes you'd need something like Scala traits.

Yes, and immutability! Kotlin has not much support for this, unless it's also been added in the past year. Both Clojure and Scala that run on JVM have strong support for immutability, so it's quite possible on the JVM. And yes, S

Pattern matching: Kotlin has a `when` that desugars into if when statements, but it's pretty far from pattern matching like you see in Scala, Swift, and more traditional functional languages. Recursive data structures: Yeah, for some r

Kotlin lacks the ability to do true functional programming that Swift has. Swift has pattern matching, recursive data structures (edit: specifically ADTs with enums or case classes is what I was thinking of here, should have written algebr

And how do you keep your database schema under version control? Edit: Do all you downvoters not keep track of your schema changes as you develop your application (via migrations, or even sql files), so you can easily roll back changes if ne

I don't know, but I remember that a slide from the NCEES from 2013 states that 30 states were already offering it, and 10 more scheduled to go online in 2014. So perhaps all 50 are offering it now? You'd have to call/check

It's a great intro language. But it's a poor language for university-level CS major students (I realize that most of these classes using JS are not CS-track classes).

Go would be another good learning language, I agree. But you still have GOROOT/GOPATH to worry about, I think it's about the same as Java in terms of complexity. Besides, you don't need an IDE for Java, it's just that m

As someone who primarily makes a living from programming JavaScript, I don't think this is a good idea. Java may be a bit syntactically bloated, but it's a much better engineered language than JavaScript. The parts "fit&quo

Thanks for that. I'm clearly bad at estimating the frequency, since I thought it was probably below the threshold recommended. Glad to know I was wrong.
