I've worked in the AAA game industry and there are many factors. When you break down the interests of companies this seems like just a product of economic self-interest, financial risk, volatility, and publisher/studio relationshi

Why are there no programming languages that use native vocabulary from other spoken languages (e.g. Mandarin)? Couldn't somebody make a coffeescript-like transpiler that converts if/for/which/import etc and library metho

I'm just waiting for us all to make a FS for practically everything through FUSE (a virtual file system which is used by LoggerFS). I learned about FUSE while getting into Plan 9 and the "everything as a file" mentality. Lets

I think thats a very clever algorithm. But I think your first articulation amounts to converting a turing machine to a huge generated state machine, which would be impossible. The behavior of the X program given one input could be modeled

I like how you can suggest datasets: https://data.cityofchicago.org/nominate The link was at the bottom. Maybe if it was more prominent and closer to the top it would give users the impression that they have a stronger role

Ok, but is finding X given Y tractable? To me, it seems like compiling is translation of source (usually higher level source to lower level source), whereas simulation is more like translation of behavior. Edit: and the ability to translate

This is very effective because it basically creates a land-grab for any of those libraries. Most people make a prediction that a library they are thinking of writing will be needed/popular, this outright states it, creating a low risk

Wouldn't the paradox have to be "all natural numbers are either interesting or uninteresting" thus creating a partition of natural numbers? Or at least "some (more than 2) natural numbers are uninteresting"?

Interestingly enough though they are both transpilers (source-to-source compilers).

But does "anything written in language A can be simulated using language B" imply "A can compile down to B"?

Scroll down to the section "publishing c modules". It advocates publishing dotc modules on npm. "npm? Isn't that for javascript? Yes, but: native node modules are written in c++ npm already exists npm installs packages i

I think it is good practice to license packages on npm, even when you are not the original author (which is very common on npm).

I put your code on npm: https://www.npmjs.org/package/quicksort.swift Edit: ...and then swiftly unpublished. It is unclear to me the legal issues involved in forking and publishing unlicensed gists. http://s
