"Software as a Service" is an architecture paradigm: little of it is Rails or even web specific. In fact, any competent software developer should be able to get the gist of Rails, Django or flavor of the month framework in the proverbial we

Or advanced anything else for that matter. Cannese is a really bright programmer though; man built a programming language with an interesting runtime, and manages to use them for his one-man game studio. Not bad.

Not if you're an emacs user. I use key-chords most programming language forms. Also, for Lisp, I never touch the closing paren. M-( does both at the same time.

Emacs user here, Lisper, and Android developer. Don't fight it: learn Eclipse+ADT and Java, and yeah Emacs M-. is F4 in Eclipse ;-)

Clojure has the benefit of hindsight; it is one of the newest programming languages and it is not constrained by a published standard, nor does it need to cater to tens of vendors or any existant code-bases (Nearly every user of Clojure is

Are you seriously asking me if a programming language allows for the implementation of data-structures? If you mean can users extend the core CL data-types, no, but you have a wealth of tools to do that yourself; use generic functions to im

Common Lisp has hash-tables, vectors, and sets .. had it, in an ANSI-specified document since 1984. The implementation details of these is, well, implementation dependent , be they HAMT or whatever. The language provides a wealth of tools

Good grief. No. Lisp-N has to do with the number of name spaces in the language. Lisp-1s only have ONE environment; the variables range over all values of the language, integers, functions, vectors, symbols, strings. In Lisp-N, there are N

What an awful but amazing episode that was. Wife and I had to verbally remind ourselves it was just fiction. (we repeatedly found ourselves stopping and rewinding scenes. How ironic!) Episode 1 was fun and entertaining. Episode 2 is a nice

I also loved the Berkeley book, Structure and Interpretation of Signals and Systems. Went down well with a 5 week daily diet of "Thinking in Systems: A Primer".

what makes a lisper better at statistics teaching and exposition than a non-lisper? (say, a trained maths educator?) fwiw, creators of R are Lisp weenies, so you might wanna look there more carefully :-)

DataTables is the best single purpose javascript library I have ever used, and I used a ton. I love it.

Emacs/Slime combo is how one writes any kind of Lisp code nowadays. I have Slime (swank, really) backends for CL, scheme, clojure, dylan, etc.

I don't think you understand either ML or Lisp. SML would never make whitespace significant because: 1) that's a brain-dead choice, and 2) ML, much like Lisp, is used as a language, as a notation, and as a "kernel" language. Clojure without

I have heard of duck-typing but not duckface-typing.

ditto. I wrote my first love letter at age 5 and my mother delivered it to the girl's family, who took it and read it to her, because the poor child was only 5 years old and couldn't read herself. LOL!
