It seems true to me that working with the Rust borrow checker is eventually fruitful, but this post shows a micro-case where working with lifetimes seems like a lot mental overhead with little gain, compared to a built-in garbage collector

Honest question: are the NT or XNU kernels any better architecture-wise? What about BSDs?

For people who want to get a more CL-like debugging setup on Clojure, there is a CL-style condition system available as a library. https://github.com/IGJoshua/farolero/

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as IRC, is in fact, IRC/Freenode, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Leenode. IRC is not a complete social network unto itself, but rather another f

Regarding lambdas and closures, it's not really a blow to OOP - it's simply another interpretation of methods and fields. As the famous koan[0] said, "objects are just a poor man's closures". [0] https://

OK, I see now. It's somewhat confusing that they have their statistics grouped like that.

SICL is interesting because it aims to be written 100% in Common Lisp. This means no kernels or stubs written in C, and also means that (in theory) any conforming Common Lisp compiler should be enough to build it. (In practice, various comp
