I'm wondering whether Ceylon could be considered a modern day Ocaml substitute? It has a very strong type system, focus on immutability, a strong module system and Object Oriented capability. What's missing?

Ignorant here (I've never done database work): What's wrong with asking the database to do the sorting for you? (assuming you do work that involves a database. Perhaps this assumption itself is the problem?)

That's a bold statement. Read Forbidden Archeology, and you'll see quite a few oddities in the archeological realm. Such as metal spheres with odd, precise features, that are very very old ( http://4.bp.blogspot.com&#x2

Actually, it's pretty easy for people in power to avoid the truth revealing effect that 'common knowledge'presents: simply label your less powerful adversary as a 'conspiracy theorist', and nobody will want to deal

So. paranormality is a real thing - it is not an empty set of phenomena. But who will believe this? Who will investigate it further? No one! It doesn't fit with our mental schemas, so it gets ignored. Forever. Quite a tragic outcome fo

This sounds like a good suggestion. Now my thought is to pair code files with similarly named doc files. Higher level code files will go first, and only later will I fill in the nitty gritty files. The next question is: how do I get a good

This turns out to be based on a conspiracy theory: "Current public perception of diamonds is the direct result of a masterfully executed marketing campaign by De Beers that began in 1938, not inherent scarcity or value. If you've

Do you truly and honestly sense software quality as a hallmark of Linux? To me, Linux feels like a bucket of papercuts glued together with ... I don't know - something glueish.. I have tried loving Linux for the past 17 years, but I ju
