   You can get blank 'java' smart cards and load open source applets on them, you don't need Yubico. Personally I only tried IsoApplet, but openpgp applet should work too.

   Well there is Ithkuil. Not exactly an easy language.

   I asked why there wasn't an implementation of Rakudo for CLR* some time ago, one of the reasons given was that JVM has InvokeDynamic aka indy, while CLR does not. It also has to be said that even their JVM implementation fell behind Mo

   What you're talking about can still be done without macros, in fact AFAIK REBOL is known for exactly that. > Because using macros is one way to implement simple, nice, clean, maintainable eDSLs. FTFY

   If possible, do things without macros. Problem is - it's pretty much always possible to do things without macros.

   "Just because you could, doesn't mean you should" - that phrase should have been applied to both writing the software and posting about it here. Plenty of mediocre stuff gets to the frontpage and plenty of gems fall through t

   I find this attitude "shoot first (write code), ask questions later" as something to be admired and a bit worrisome at the same time. Nothing against people learning stuff, but why does it have to be promoted this way? Lack of hum

    Using a 3rd party site to query HTML (which you should be able to do yourself, plenty of tools for that) isn't a fantastic idea. This one, for example http://www.videlibri.de/xidel.html#examples

    https://digg.com/reader does the job for me. It's probably even better than Google Reader was.

    I think Snowden is valuable to Putin, he's not just a liability.

    There's a gradient between 'free' and 'held against his will', I'm sure there are plenty of ways Snowden can be discouraged from taking a chance like that.

    You can find answer to this easily enough. Some at Google were pushing Dart, read reaction to that from Mozilla, Apple and Microsoft.

    Web needs domain-specific declarative languages that are oriented toward non-programmers. W3C is often painted as a villain of some kind when it comes to HTML5, but it's important to remember that there are different working groups and

    JS engines in browsers should evolve to more general VMs, for which you can implement/port other languages. Hopefully WebAssembly is a start of that. That is the proper way, not writing it in JS with caveats such as > Speed is expli

    You need exactly zero knowledge of Javascript to share data on the web. Plain server generated HTML + some CSS framework is more than enough for most cases. Even if you want some more interactive stuff you don't need to know the "

    Standards are better when they are followed. Chicken and egg problem, these alternatives are DOA because they are not going to be popular. The only reason JSON is popular is because of Javascript. And the only reason Javascript is popular i

    It's quite possible that in many senses Kotlin will overtake Scala. Maybe not in terms of advanced language features, but in terms of adoption, tooling.

    I'd be satisfied with it not being noticeably slower than Java and according to some it isn't. Do you speak from experience or just assume that it must be slower?

    It's still easy enough, there are many hundreds of geographical locations in many tens of languages alone. Just make some effort.

    You're trying to praise something, but it ends up as an insult of sorts, because you haven't made a slightest effort to figure out what's before you.

    You don't get it. German, French men are white males too, but I don't think any of them would describe themselves as 'white males' the way you do. Russian, Bulgarian, Finnish, whatever. The idea of adding your race or sk

    That's because in other places that's not even a thing. Nothing to complain about. Therefore it is an US thing (and less so UK).
