in this case it's a good way of getting smooth animation specially in a dual core whatever whatever :)

or even adding an "n" in front of the function name goes a loooooooong (emphasis on the "o") way towards helping. nconc, nreverse ...

clojure is smart about it, and only copies what changed. start here: http://clojure.org/state

check out chapter 3 of "on lisp". specially the part about functional interfaces.

can you outline a sketch? closures by themselves do not guarantee the absence of side effects ie: (let ((state 'someobject)) (defun phase1 () (done1 state)) (defun phase2 () (done2 state) . . . and so on

i think pure functional programming is not a practical possibility. functional systems are functional until they are not (scheme's set!, clojure's transactions, ....) maybe the important thing is to keep in mind which parts of your system m

this was either written by someone with no experience in C, or a C uber expert.

a macro can be pointless sure. mostly if the same thing can be accomplished with a function (most of the time, but not exactly). a macro is not a function that's being inlined.

funny that he didn't touch upon the REPL. for me, that's second only to macros. also for examples, just look at news.arc. the vars-form stuff, and the little template languages (trtd) etc ... is far superior than at least all of the django

also, lisp is not in more widespread use for the same reason soap operas, and brittney spears are more popular than shakespeare, and beethoven.

how does it follow from this then, that men are happier?

what if someone changes git history? some rebasing or something like that? how does it affect downstream hg clients? thanks.

by utx00 17y ago
not necessarily. mutt/pine, emacs/vi, irrsi/chatX, python/ruby, .... in general a good thing.

"I’m not surprised to see my cousin use such things as she’s a “people person” - she always wants to be a center of attention - that validates her existence. Don’t get me wrong - I don’t condemn her" well, as long as he doesn't condemn her.

thanks. i think i'm sticking to js then.
47.
by utx00 17y ago
surely all these things and more can be accomplished with straight javascript. look at jquery! and extjs, prototype, ... jquery has gone so far that it is starting to smell like a DSL. all in js. thanks for the feedback.

amazing language. hope it takes off.

yes. but how is that generated js being served?

by utx00 17y ago
ok. ok. i misunderstood. interesting. so why wouldn't i just write javascript? what is the value added? aside from the fact that i'm not coding in javascript (which i don't consider a negative)

what do you think about something like extjs?
53.
by utx00 17y ago
very informative. thanks. i think in cappuccino you do everything in the "backend". there's no need to write javascript/html/css ... which is good in a lot of ways (you can output source for different devices, and i'm even guessing you coul

by utx00 17y ago
does anyone have experience with something like this (or SproutCore, GWT) versus a heavier javascript solutions that uses the backend purely to get data? i'm thinking extjs on the frontend with an api on the backend (probably django for the

really? with python/ruby/clojure/erlang/lua/js coming up in the world? ... i thought this was going to be a 1991 article.

people have been using mta pipes to all sorts of scripting/dynamic/futuristic languages for years. that's what procmail is, except it has an ugly language. however it's not like one is using this 10 hours a day. you set it up, and you are d

by utx00 17y ago
sure most MTAs are byzantine horrors as you put it, but it's not like they need constant tweaking either. you set them up, and off they go (both exim, and postfix). we rarely need to touch their configuration once they're up and running. so

the tone is unfair - he was the one who got his act together and got it done. one could make a similar argument/"investigation" about any creation.
