This release makes me very happy. I never really took a look at Elm but yesterday I've receive a bug report on a very old library of mine to parse GLSL. The author of Elm told me it was used in their WebGL work and pointed to that Thwo

I don't understand how your "easier for a beginner" example relates to fundamental programming concepts. Are you talking about variable assignments, jumps, control structure, or about syntax ? Again how is "the whole pur

Pushing for Python by comparing it to Java is a first step. But if you really want to do the right choice for all those students, you'd better compare it to other good languages. For instance I'm thinking of Haskell. Imagine that

Which is quite interesting to see. Actually the posts about GitHub being or not being your resume are playing the devil's advocates and they will be more or less closer to the truth depending on your potential employer profile. I kee

A good use case for Haskell is to generate C code in a way that make it easier to assess its safety. See e.g. http://smaccmpilot.org/languages/ivory-concepts.html or Galois' work.

Oh thanks, I didn't understood it was the list itself. When I looked at that page before, I googled a bit to see past projects and it seemed the only one I could find was the one already on that page.

We have access through the internet to tons of different opinions and opposite arguments. This makes it difficult to built one's own judgement. But that doesn't mean everything is equal. You will always find people with divergent

This is just a part of XaaS infrastructure and XaaS is widely used. Git hosting (e.g. GitHub), file hosting (e.g. S3), VM or container "hosting" (e.g. Heroku), mails... Why can't Docker images couldn't be hosted in the c

If loading the rest of the code and initialization time really matters, yes. But then you're back to square one: you now have to create a CLI to access the server and that new CLI must load quickly. Which would also be the case if you

See my answer to coldtea. Yes you can organize you're code to help making it load faster but I don't think it is fast enough. Maybe my terminal is slow, maybe my machine is slow (and maybe I'm overly sensitive to the problem)

Don't overdo it either. There's plenty of landing pages with non-existing services, no need for crazy project pages where the projects themselves will die soon out of interest or are just subpar. In this specific case, I would pre

I think what you say is true when the entire display is used for each eye, not when half the display is used per eye. (No need need to send a full frame that will be discarded by filtering glasses.)
