Almost all attempts at CSP-style programming in the end resorted to sharing data to get a little bit better performance. I wonder whether we shouldn't have used a bit of speedup that Moore's law gave us to cover that cost and be d

I think this may be one of the reasons for IETF's success. Compare with, for example, 3GPP standards. The fact that each WG does a single task and is disabanded early means, according to Conway's law, that individual RFCs will be

For reference here's the original Streams design paper by Dennis Ritchie. Worth reading. https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/classes/fa01/cse221/papers/ritchie-s...

That's interesting. Why do you need state machine if you have goroutine per connection? Isn't the instruction pointer + local variables an equivalent of a state stored in a state machine?

Yes, exactly. After all, as Jack Weinberg said, never trust anyone below 30.

One hard requirement here is to be able to expose C API. Given the current state of affairs, it's the only way to guarantee that any language runtime will be able to use it. That limits the options quite a lot. I hear it's possibl

Interesting book to read on the topic is Charles Murray's Coming Apart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coming_Apart_(book) Very much like this article, Murray focuses only on US, however, this is a global trend. A

Look at Chomsky. When my grandparents where young, he was there, doing stuff. Today I am slowly turning old and he's still there doing stuff.

You'd have to solve the language barrier first. Burmese speakers will not be able to read stuff written in Rohingya language.

It's worth reading Stanislaw Lem's His Master's Voice. It deals exactly with this topic but it is much more nuanced.

Isn't the problem the high turnover rate in the industry? Why invest in educating someone if they are going to quit in one year or so?

I recall we have once discussed this kind of payment for articles, but back-of-the-envelope calculation showed it would take ~170 hrs to mine one cent.

There's another thing going on in parallel, namely, physical separation of elites from the rest. You may not agree with Charles Murray's political worldview, but the first part of Coming Apart has a nice analysis of how elites in
