   I had similar results when looking into this - it was not competitive in cost or performance (speed, errors) a year ago.

   Just had to look up what you mean by 'alt-right': Quoting Wikipedia: "The alt-right, or alternative right, is a loosely-connected and somewhat ill-defined grouping of white supremacists/white nationalists, neo-Nazis, neo

    I agree that Poland - and the east of Europe - seldomly appears in the western history lesson narrative. Poland was liberal for it's time, yes, albeit only for the szlachta , a large part of the population that belonged to the privile

    Thanks for your answer! Is TCO on the roadmap, or is the " mess it does with stack traces " too much?

    Does Julia have Tail Call Optimization for recursion? I know it is not necessary, I was just curious, as thr language seems to have a lot of metaprogramming options, and Femto-Lisp being part of the compiler.

    Just stumbled over this talk in which the Ocaml Platform [1] was discussed. Did anyone give it a try? Are the new developer tools the right step forward, and are they helping with industry adoption? [1] http://ocaml.org/

    Just a comment to underline the bias generated by images: It is sad to see how the press show pictures of Kohl at the very end of his life, with a bitter mimic on his face. The photo of this article makes him look frail - in real life, Kohl
