The tutorial is different from the article most people want. Most people just want something highlight the uniqueness of this language, not how to represent list and array. I like the kind of article explaining something (e.g. a particular

Can't agree more! Just think about how code can scale to multi-cores / GPUs. It's all because composition is more _declarative_ than recursion. (Although recursion is still more declarative than C-style imperative programming.)

I really wish one day Google will sell a page harvesting service. It can certainly profit since the cost is neglectable. But how big the market is?

Something I really wanted is, when I connect my laptop to my home computer, my laptop can use the home computer's CPU, GPU and RAM and have an additional screen. I believe Thunderbolt will make this dream true, since the Intel page mentione

This problem applies to all communities using votes to sort user-generated contents: HN, Reddit, StackOverflow, Quora, etc. I think something like PageRank can really help. The same need is to rank things based on a directed acyclic graph.

No, what Reddit does is fragmenting community. How much does the tag system in StackOverflow or Quora fragment them? Tags helped people to somehow filter their already overwhelmed input stream, focus on what they really interest in, and mor
