   but they are safe until you decide to do that deferencing, otherwise they're just uint_ptrs really.

   I love type theory, but I think a language like Sage[1] is probably the most interesting way forward. [1] - http://sage.soe.ucsc.edu/

   One of my favourite parts of Elementary was the appearance of Malboge, because it was a technical detail which made sense . I mean the actual code was bogus, because I don't think anyone has made something that complex in it before, b

   A good example here would be C++. Look at how long it took for C++11 to be implemented, but now at least two compilers are feature complete (gcc + clang) and now they're on schedule to be feature complete for C++1y[1], with implementat

   To be honest, a reason I like it is that if they free-think and say 'what about sed, oh of course thats three characters', shows what they know. Also whether shell-built ins count too.

    I've found 'list 10 two-letter linux commands and their use' They don't actually have to think of 10, but their answer can show what they've actually had to do on a *nix system. Its also lets you prod them with ques

    do you know what contracts are ? Typical contracts are 'assert (arg != null)' or 'assert(arg1.length == arg2.length)' or 'assert (hour >= 0 and hour <= 23)'

    Heh, same time as my edit. Those methods should be private (i.e. they just exist for building the deck, its the consumers responsibility to shuffle / split into multiple decks etc, as well as assigning value to each card).

    How are collections broken? Views are deprecated/set to be deprecated, I don't really use scala.io, I find java io sufficient for my needs, scala.xml is being split out in 2.11 and macros will let people use a third party implemen

    there is literally zero reason to block sites such as the NSPCC and Childline. Zero. Parents being fundamentally able to block these sites is wrong.

    I don't think the author is denying this fact at all? There's plenty in Scala that other languages do better, the author's claim is that no languages puts all of its features together better than Scala.

    Dependent types to the rescue! Unfortunately dependent types are incredibly difficult to get working (Scala's type system is already turing complete (and can handle path-dependent types) and true dependent types would make reasoning ab

    Adult human beings are not rational actors, why on earth would you expect prepubescent children to be? the age group that is most targeted by advertising (because they're the most impressionable).

    So as i understand it the 'use case' is for coercing 3rd party types into your own type hierarchy. Suppose you had: trait Foo { def bar(): Int } and 3rd party library had final class FooBar extends java.lang.Objec
