I think another application could be software transactional memory. As far as I can tell, this more or less requires a functional implementation (since you can't roll back side-effects most of the time). Very cool stuff.

Still long, but much more coherent and interesting than "Rhinos and Tigers". (I think I occasionally suffer from a second-order form of the Dunning-Kruger effect he references: I know I'm not that great... that must mean I'm more enlightene

Peter Norvig is "... now taking a short leave of absence from Google to update his AI textbook." This is news to me, and potentially quite exciting (even if I have just finally acquired my own copy). Does anyone know anything else about th

The "google doesn't offer a career path" point didn't necessarily sound as bad as they were probably assuming: given the choice between moving in to management if you're good at coding, or being paid more to do what you presumably enjoy, I
