Coroutines, cooperative threading using fibres, type classes, generics, type deduction, easy interface with C++. The functional style, pattern matching. Flow based programming using 'chips and wires' abstraction. It has many other

Unfortunately no. Felix is quite old at this point. It's a very interesting language, with many interesting ideas. It did not quite take off though.

Take a look at Felix. https://felix-lang.github.io/felix/ Ignore the 'scripting' language claim.

Great for listening to while programming. Words/lyrics throw me off but movie scores ... they feel perfect for programming.

Not for C++ code generated by whole program optimizing compilers. Your "human entered" is doing the heavy lifting. Now that AI is writing code your assertion might be on shaky ground.

Sorry about such a profound loss. Maybe you can find some meaning in the fact that it did not happen the otherway around.

But think what your wife would have to go through if you passed earlier. It is that thought that makes me want to out last my wife, but in a state where I am useful in some way.

I don't mind the dupe's but it makes sense to merge the discussions. Same for Bradbury. I tried flagging my own comment but it seems one cannot. So flag away to draw attention.

How did you figure that out ?

To each his own, I suppose. I particularly like Bradbury's style. It reads very prose poetic. One of my favourite is Dandelion Wine, which you will probably hate.

An emphatic yes. It's a strange coincidence that I wanted to name KEXP too in my previous comment. London Grammar @ KEXP ranks pretty high.

Does Tiny Desk have the best sound engineers or what ?

> Yeah, because the USA pulled out. Is that and act of victory or defeat ?

I relate strongly with The Pedestrian. I love going for long walks at odd hours. In the United State police's defence once I was walking all by myself at 3 in the morning in Mountain View, peeking and crouching among the bushes for go

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I haven't looked at the pointed site yet but will do once I get some time on my hands. Maps end up nerd-sniping me. The offset to prevent tears is a nice touch.

You are indeed correct. The options are to be found here https://foldingglobes.com/pricing For those who want some more, try making a globe by hand. It is instructive and a lot of fun.

Not to forget Letters from Iwo Jima Flags of our Fathers. He certainly took me by surprise by the depth of his offerings, given that I used to know him as blondie with no name and for dirty harry. https://en.wikipedia.org/w

Yes absolutely. I spent much of my childhood under dark skies (minimal light pollution). In the city that I live I miss the sky of my childhood. My wife and I do visit less light polluted areas every year. The sight always takes your breath

I cannot comment on whether Dantesque awareness of the night sky was common or not, I was, however, quite taken by surprise by Chaucer when and where I least expected it. I only know of Chaucer because of my history classes in secondary sch

It depends entirely on the circumstances. If someone is doing it because of the arm twisting done by the economy and personal financial circumstances then of course it will not land well. I will feel exploited. On the other hand if I am com
