Well the "expertise" is mostly just Python thats sort of the value prop. But yeah building an actual AI product ontop I'd be more worried about the early stage nature of Modular rather than the implementation is closed source

More of a question of /will/ Mojo eventually be entirely open source, chunks of it already are. The intent from Modular is eventually it will be, just not everything all at once and not whilst they're internally doing loads o

Feel like Mojo is worth a shoutout in this context https://www.modular.com/mojo Solves the issue of having a superset of Python in syntax where "fn" instead of "def" functions are assumed static typed an

Came here to suggest this should be generic, but I'd also do something like pack in `man <command>` into the prompt if you are one shotting. Then it works for "all" commands that have a man page rather than just the com

There area also a lot of people naive to how BS publishing has become. Plenty of PhD students get sucked in, a common one is being asked to publish your thesis as a book. Learning hubris comes before an embarrassment is a right of passage t

No you should strongly reason and believe in your own power of reasoning, but you should never dogmatically hold on to those beliefs in the light of new evidence that contravenes your previous ideas. Essentially all scientists that are even

If you come from only a Perl 5 background this is the issue. None of that is obvious. It is to someone who's seen OO languages that are a bit functional with good exception handling. In Perl 5 you would probably add to the top of the f

Well if you are wandering that way again it's a bit faster a year later. About 10x across the board would be a good estimate. That's still super slow for some things.

Thanks for your projection of rudeness... Makes me feel extra special given I spent about ten minutes linking all that stuff. Baliador is meant to be a take on Dancer from Perl 5 which is somewhere between Sinatra and Rails in complexity. I

A) It's released with a frozen spec and a large test suite for compliance ( https://github.com/perl6/roast ), with a compiler available that supports a module ecosystem with over 700 modules ( http://modul

It's hard for me to describe how much Perl 6 doesn't need another web framework, but someone to actually use the ones that already exist! There is even already more than one middleware solution Crust and P6W. https://gi

No one talking about Perl 6 compactness means golfed code! Just naturally translating over say a Java program with the OO design intact will be hugely compact. In a way that means the code is written at a succinct conceptual and declarative

Since Christmas 2015 was the "production" release of the language specification. Hence the 6.C version number, the C stands for Christmas. Rakudo around about now implements that feature set in a stable way. The last year has most

I'd say most netbooks or tablets replaced it for all of those things now... But you're right that Psion were super innovative. More important than their series 5 hardware was the operating system. EPOC was a 32bit embedded OS long

This article shows a gross ignorance of the reality. Academic sciences especially are woefully under funded and anyone coming out now with a PhD has no position to go into especially if you are half decent. Accepting to only teach in a crap

This isn't a better view though. The number of Watts is not important. Biology is efficient in energy use, so what? If you tax a human brain it doesn't especially consume vast amounts more energy. I don't work up a sweat thin

There are still the design docs ( http://design.perl6.org/ ) which are essentially spec documents. They are what implementors have been using over the years. Don't forget the tests came from Pugs and now Rakudo is using

Guess what you can do both at the same time! :D There is already a module which converts an ANTLR4 grammar into a full Perl 6 grammar which then provides a ready made parser for you :) https://github.com/drforr/perl6-AN

Quoting is highly generalised in Perl 6. Comments happen to be more feature rich and dynamic than other languages. They aren't simply ignored by the compiler but completely parsed and used in a variety of ways. The flexibility looks
