Apparently when the fetch fails, it triggers an `fetch:error` event[1], which can (probably) be handled somewhere. No idea about formatting the response, though. I think it's quite natural for there to be large gaps in functionality pr

It looks interesting. There is a lot of complexity that can be hidden behind a well-crafted DSL. REBOL's View dialect and TCL's TK are examples of DSLs which make developing UIs much simpler than it would be with a full language.

Still, keeping the guy who served his full sentence of nearly 20 years in the country (and with various additional restrictions) for anothe 15 years is not a nice thing to do. They should have shot him dead in Rome and be done with it, like

Would be ok if the variables were named like `PROTOCOL`, `SEPARATOR`, `HOST_PREFIX`. The names shown in GP are... well... a shining example of how naming things is hard , at least :)

What opinion about Clojure?! Where? You're jumping to conclusions without any basis, while trying to caution others not to jump to conclusions? I'm talking about the general ease of use of features in programming languages. If you

Yes; I didn't mention it because, while they are technically literals, you are expected to write your own types and use your own constructors. But yes, F#, OCaml, Haskell, Idris, Elm, etc. are also very data-centric.

REBOL and TCL are languages which go at least as far as Clojure in data-centric programming. Both feature incredibly elegant DSL for a variety of tasks, like constructing parsers or defining GUIs. Personally, I don't have an opinion on

I think this is caused because of the disconnect between the source in files and an environment in a REPL. There are alternatives: You can keep your source inside your environment, like in Smalltalk. Whatever state you modified, it stays mo

No, when starting debugging you most often know the results of a bug. You can break conditionally on when the results appear, then work your way up the stack or jump to the beginning of a block to re-examine it. Or you can rerun the program

The same as with every other sport: injury. You don't want to risk injury by extrapolating a faulty training method from magical thinking. In my experience, the arts and systems geared more towards full-contact spars have way, way less
