Another interesting addition would be to warn drivers if a close by car/driver also had a bad driving history. May be also track if the close by car started of from a bar/restaurant and weight the probably of the driver ending up

My bad. I don't know why I remember it as wrapping around LibCST.

I have done something similar using https://pybowler.io/ . This library wraps the LibCST library and abstracts away some of the refactoring operations into nice wrapper functions.

I am curious. Why do you think it helps it doing things on the stack. For me, I understand this to provide more generic type level checks on the size/shape of values. Perhaps, I am oversimplifying this?

Can you eloborate on what kind of projects you work on which has made the move easy from Python to OCaml. While I love OCaml I have not heard positive things about the library eco-system in terms of variety and maintenance. Perhaps, you cou

Have you considered using ipython as your REPL? I use ipython and in my profile, I have the following setting. This enables auto-reload and it works almost all the time. Here is the option I have in my profile file. You can run this comman

It is interesting. But, how long before Alexa knows that is how people refer to her alternatively?

I took the same path and went back to reading SICP. But, this time around is was very easy. I had the same experience about implementing closures and the embedded language.

I already see some good responses to your question. As for me, before this course, learning a language was a mechanical process. I learn the syntax, learn some idioms and go with it. But, after this course, as the other commenter put it, I

I took the Programming Languages course on Coursera which is so far the best course for me. It changed the way I learn any new programming language. https://www.coursera.org/learn/programming-languages I see that they

It doesn't have to be. The stricter version is called 'applicative-order' Y-combinator. The article talks about both versions as well.

That is a nice description of how to arrive at the Y-combinator. There was a talk using similar examples which I think is very educational. https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Y-Combinator I wrote down the examples use

> The benefit of State and IO monads is not that you can use them everywhere so you now have an imperative language. The benefit is you can explicitly delimit their use, and you still get the "easier to reason about" for the re

The example you quoted is probably the very basic of operators and idioms being used. These operators have standard meaning in terms of fmap and applicatives. But, I agree with you that there are obscure operators scattered around the code

I work on Python and the Pandas data frame is one of the core data structure that is used in the implementation. I have been thinking of how I can translate this code in a more robust type checking language such as Haskell, without loosin

Actually, I think a search engine's capability directly adds value to SO. Even, before SO, there were different forums and searching (Google and before that alta vista) could help you find at least a few answers, though not as comprehe

I do not think it would work with sub-classing. With the approach we have it is just easier to add the 'new' method name to test into the list argument of the meta class. The meta class would generate a `test` method with the pass

We use meta-classes extensively. One of the simpler examples I have used are as follows: We have a class that has different methods that performs numerical analysis/computations of financial models. These methods need to be tested with
