I hope Haskell Prime solves this. In Haskell String is literally a list of characters. This causes some overhead and leads to bad performance. Of course we got Text and for binary data you can use ByteString, but it's a bit of pain com

While it's true that you can't really pipe programs conveniently yet it sure supports composition with all functions as you suggest. Just wanted to note in case that was what the comment above was thinking about. Except that I p

Might note this was "whipped this up in a few hours". I suspect this is just an experiment. But I think this might evolve into something serious, lots of interest was expressed in /r/haskell. On a serious side note, it d

Lisp syntax is (<operator> <args...>) with a few special forms (def, if, cond etc.). This is really easy to understand and allows the user to go straight forward and learn about the semantics and general programming practice imm

This project seems really promising, but I got one concern. Lisp's syntax have been one of its strength for beginners. Easy to learn, easy to solve common errors. I don't see the point of having Python-like syntax really, the user

Linux Mint? Isn't that essentially the same thing as Ubuntu or am I missing something? That is, is it the lens search that is the problem or are there other privacy concerns about Ubuntu?

This is great for Xonotic[1] and Warsow[2]! I hope the majority will look for a new FPS on Linux and Macintosh and find either Xonotic or Warsow, both great games. Warsow even got through the Steam greenlight program and will be on Steam so

You mean human-errors, or do you mean that Arch breaks itself mistakenly? If so, it might be worth reporting the problem. I used Arch a year ago or so(but switch to CRUX due to systemd), and I've never had any problems that wasen'

Even though I partly agree with your, is language really just "tools"? I think there's more to it, it's a notation, it's a way to think about problems, etc.

I recommend HTDPv2[0] together with the beginner-friendly IDE Dr. Racket. It let you get started quickly and give you a good foundation to learn your next language. The choice of Scheme is also excellent from a beginners perspective since t

This is a bit ridiculous. The problem here is not "male-dominated" class room but more likely the ordinary bully problem. I had a friend who was bullied due to his clothing. He reported the bullies and they got suspended. Later t

Unix is more command line oriented, honestly. Plan 9's is really GUI centric, although not a ordinary GUI.

The key problem here is that it's open source . The meaning of that term has become very vague, not that OSI's definition is unclear but rather since many people apply the term to so many things. Open source is usually applied fo

The web is weird, it feels like HTML is meant more for documents than for actual social platforms and dynamic content... If you think about it, is the web really sane?

I tried learn programming since I was 11. First I played around with graphical programming in Game Maker, Construct and RPG Maker. Later I tried out VBasic but quickly felt it was boring. After that I bought K&R and tried learn C, which

I really like Elm as a language, although I'm not into web development. Its record syntax is just so wonderful to work with and something Haskell could learn from.
