I recall why this looks familiar. Their chief scientist put up a job posting on the subreddit for array languages. It sounds like they know how to use some pretty powerful tools. https://www.reddit.com/r/apljk/comm

Or Lisp and Haskell :)

Growing sure, but still extremely niche. I think a recent report showed ~15 open jobs worldwide. A lot of Haskell users learn it for intellectual curiosity rather than any expectation of actually using it at work.

Cosmic Crisps will supposedly not only taste amazing, but be cheaper than Honeycrisps as they're easier to manage and orchard owners are replacing red delicious as it is basically disgusting.

Julia can show s-expressions for an expression I think...sorta what you asked, but not really I know. If you really want something like pandas + lisp then you probably need Common Lisp and have to dig for some libraries.

This is the greatest sarcastic comment I've seen all year. You nailed the Haskell zealot to a tee. Meanwhile the Forth zealot is getting IBS just hearing about the code complexity from Haskell and all the myriad of language extensions

"@" is for an array variable or pulling something in array context. You can have variables declared with $, @, or % depending on whether it is a scalar, array, or hash structure.

I've been in hundreds of P6 conversations and it is always such a bummer to see that this is always the number 1 thing discussed. Not the merits of the language, not the grammars, or concurrency, MOP, functional and OO syntax, junction

I've thought of both of these things before, but don't have the appetite for such a venture at the moment.

6 years since D2? Did you mean D3, or was there a re-make?

The impact from greenhouse gases is already either a factor in some power markets (which heavily use state of the art optimization and are among the hardest problems to solve when you look at the size versus the time it has to solve in) or

Interesting to hear you say this. Power energy markets are run using LP & MILP algorithms and a huge topic right now is accounting for non-convexivities.

I received an old washing machine when i got married and a new dryer. That washing machine is super heavy, but still working. The dryer is a POS and the plastic knobs have all started failing, so I have to use pliers to turn the knob. I&#x2

Ah, similar name. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.

Ummmm yes & no. It has a REPL, but it sure isn't easy to use and very few C# coders actually use it. Contrast that with a dynamic language like Python where people basically live in the REPL. Common Lisp takes this to a whole new l

It uses LLVM like Swift, Rust, & Julia. I'm not sure if it can beat highly optimized C code, but generally is in the neighborhood of C, while letting you code like a rubyist. This is similar to how Nim lets you write code similar t

I think they may have stopped that after being bought by Sony? I don't think it is still around.

A+ was invented by Arthur Whitney for JP Morgan (iirc). I'm sure they have some things in house still using it, but that it's mostly been deprecated by Whitney's Kdb+ environment which is sold by Kx Systems. It is the APL lik

Yea, but I clicked around and did a quick Google to find out it's a custom distro. Not too hard, but I guess they could make that easier.
24.
by 3rdAccount 8y ago
Let's be honest here. Everybody familiar with System76 (slight exaggeration, but mostly correct) is somebody looking outside the box. There's a good chance they already use Linux and understand Pop is just a customized distro. The

I kind of see what you're saying. However, I'd much rather have a real and thorough answer than a question. I start by skimming, and if I need the info it is there.

I have a lot of respect for Alan Kay, but know what you mean. Either I'm too dumb to understand much of what he's trying to convey due to historical and technical ignorance or lack of intelligence, his communication skills leave r

I wonder if Windows is slower. It isn't terrible, but waiting 8 seconds after typing in "using JuMP" is kind of long.

by 3rdAccount 8y ago
Yes, both are expensive outside the student licenses, but Mathematica is significantly cheaper and has a lot more built into the language, so you don't have to turn around and buy expensive "toolboxes" for all the functionali

by 3rdAccount 8y ago
Is that atom's fault or just the Julia REPL's fault? I use the REPL directly on Windows and it seems to be really slow as it will take something like "using JuMP" and precompile the module which takes time.

Thanks for putting this together Michael! I always find your blog posts and magazines to be very interesting (lisp, forth, Clojure)...etc.
