For composable nested parallelism, I think spawn and sync like Julia has would be great. If there is a variant of spawn that asserts there is no concurrency is required for the child task, I'd imagine the runtime can do more optimizati

Yeah, I get the point that it's nice to have basic things in the core language and stdlib. I'm rather on the "minimal language core" side in this discussion and I think it'd be better to not start adding more things

Hi, the author here. One of the hidden messages of the introduction is: watch Guy Steele's talks [1][2][3] if you are interested in data parallelism! These talks are not Julia-specific and the idea is applicable and very useful in any

Thanks for the explanation. It is hard feel this kind of nuance as my English is not that good. It's also good to know that he'd like that :)

> The takeaway is that Elisp needs to learn to interface with other languages better. This is exactly why @kiwanami developed EPC (a general RPC protocol/libraries for Emacs) and why I wrote Python binding: https://github.com/kiwanami/

I agree some of them are harder to setup in Windows. But it helps (or forces) developers to make these tools and languages cross-platform, which is good, I think. And I guess making them cross-platform is actually easier than implementing

I think "maximum extensibility" is not the philosophy of Emacs. Remember how long it took to have FFI support in Emacs (it was discussed in the article). Also, even with FFI, it is not possible to load non-free libraries. I think this sh

Well, I am Japanese and I am almost sure my translation is right. But I hope calling the s/he "Eccentric" is not very rude. I just thought it is better than "unusual"... or not? Ah, I just notice "unique" fits the context very well. Perh

I agree with you that the title is a bit misleading and trolling. And I actually name it like you do if I were him. I just translated it directly.

I think you misread the philosophy he talked about. He actually thinks that having the problems about threading, libraries and low APIs is a good thing, as it helps us maximizing social value of software we develop.

Actually it's not a complete word. So, it's like "understan" or "comprehen". Probably because it's still beta.

You can connect to REPLs over ssh using `ipython console`. Even without EIN, you can use this command (plus several options for ssh connection) for python-mode's interactive shell. With EIN I think it's a little bit easier (if you are usi

I've never tried, but VIM already got nice looking IPython binding ( https://github.com/ivanov/vim-ipython ). I think it doesn't support notebook editing though.
