Going by my preconceived notions, I thought Perl 6 or elisp. I think in fact Perl 6 is shorter.

Can you give any more references to the sort of thing you're talking about? I believe it's lack of significant class consciousness and the large-scale remnants of propaganda from the Cold War (on which many if not most people are

Within capitalism, products are made to maximise exchange value rather than use value. This is because it is more profitable to optimise for products to be exchanged rather than used. In fact, it can be detrimental to maximise use value, be

If the comments skew against regulation, I wonder how they skew toward a Communist like me. I don't usually get more than 2 or 3 downvotes, though maybe that's because I don't comment in threads that are very populous.

It's a damn shame as a Communist myself to agree with Labour on various issues, but so vehemently disagree with them on the abstention or even outright support of spying bills.

I personally have never used code completion, though I don't think it's affected me much as a C, Python and Lisp programmer. I wouldn't want to try Java without an IDE, though (I use Emacs).

I'm also a "scumbag Communist". It is thanks to the consideration of Communists and Socialists that today we have reasonable working hours, many labour laws arguably a lot of modern feminist thought.

This is horrible, and abhorrent behaviour especially on the part of adults who should know better and recognise acheivement when it is shown rather than denigrating work based on the country of origin or genetic makeup of the workers. I hop

>"Exploited" workers have a better quality of life. Why does that mean that it's the best quality of life that could be had? I do not disagree that capitalism is better than the feudalism and slavery that preceeded it.

I am not proposing a hunter-gatherer society; rather, I am proposing that the automation and materials needed to make socially necessary goods be collectively owned. This way, automation can be used in favour of the people, not for profit.

This is an interesting idea, even if it does play into the "exotic Oriental thinking" meme. I've seen this line of thinking usually attached with rubbish like "The Westerner wants to control the world, the Eastener only

To be fair, Emacs can easily have code completion, debugging, linting and a bunch of IDE features, it's cross platform and it's open source. It's probably one of the most hackable editors out there. And I use adblock :)

Emacs is a little harder to write plugins for, but it runs natively and the only impediment is that more people know JS than they do elisp.

I didn't mean to say that the proof could be used in science, but neither can the proofs of pure mathematical theorems, either, such as the ones involving infinity. You don't have to test something for it to exist logically.

I personally find macros and metaprogramminv nicer and more powerful than Template Haskell. I like the regularity of all the syntax too.
