Given that about every other line in the example stack implementation is marked as "unsafe", I fail to see how Rust is any more safe or well-suited for this than other low-level programming languages (C++, D, etc.).

D ( http://dlang.org ) has had mandatory override for a long time.

I wonder why they didn't publish the changes as one big monolithic commit on top of the Apache Git repo instead of obliterating all the history.

Another very basic question, maybe analogous to FizzBuzz in that regard, could involve some real analysis, e.g.: Let f: [0,1]->[0,1] be a continuous function. Prove that there exists some x in [0,1] such that f(x) = x.

At least here in Europe, a course in basic real analysis is mandatory _in the first semester_ for just about every program which includes some math. I'd even be surprised to see somebody with a math degree who hasn't at least done a little

Well, depends on your definition of »mathematician« – I'd probably go for a question about the very basics of algebra. Something like: How many elements does the symmetric group S_3 have? (Optionally: Write down its Cayley table.) Is it abe

Yes, I deliberately tried to avoid using FP slang as to not scare away interested C++ programmers. This is also the reason why I referred to I/O »in the classical sense« instead of mentioning the m-word. ;)

Referring to the toy example from the article: Without »weak« purity, renderScene() could not be pure at all, but now, it can even be »strongly« so. The point is that it enables some function to be pure in the traditional sense even if thei

In German, guillemets are actually only used like that – contrary to, for example, French. I got in the habit of using them almost exclusively, and usually enter them explicitly (most non-Windows keyboard layouts have them in a convenient l

Definitely: »The IDSS docking interface is fully androgynous about one axis, meaning the interface configuration is capable of mating to an identical configuration«

If it even remotely lives up to its promises, I can't wait to take a closer look at it – implementing a Socket.IO server should be a great first project…
