Yeah, I was shocked when I came across that. The data scientist appeared to be really in tune with ethical problems, and then speaks like that. It's very disappointing.

After starting out in Python, I did exactly the same thing with Racket and Smalltalk, which substantially improved my programming ability. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only crazy person here. :) I haven't used Pharo rece

I'm taking a statistics specialization on Coursera. While the course content has generally been pretty good, you are correct about the complete lack of support on the forums. I also naively thought that perhaps a TA would monitor them

Thanks for sharing this. I had recently set up an account with FastMail, but now that it's clear that they won't abide by their own promises, I'll look elsewhere.

I started out learning programming using Python and gradually came to prefer strongly typed languages. I'm aware of 1 1/2 options for doing this kind of work in a strongly typed language that isn't C++: Option 1: F# or C# wit

Replying to myself, since I can no longer edit what I posted: I'm not advocating the developers of curl rewriting it in Rust! I think that a lot of the debate here is around a few different points, and that we're generally talking

You mentioned in another comment that if APL is to go anywhere, that it needs to be open sourced. Unfortunately, the cost of Dyalog and the fact that it is closed source are the main reasons why I've ended up using J. I appreciate that
