Balrogs would be under the Maiar category, but most have no recorded name. I suppose the one from the trilogy could have been listed as "Durin's Bane."

I think the way F# implemented it is pretty good: if you want to use a keyword or whitespace in a variable or function name, it has to be enclosed in double backticks. e.g: [<Property>] let ``Reverse of reverse of a list is the

I would say the core goal of most living organisms is to propagate, rather than survive, otherwise you would see males of some species like Praying Mantis avoiding mating to increase their longevity.

I use the 'confirm' option in my vim config, that way I can always use :q and then get a prompt on what to do if a file's been changed. I also map <C-q> to :q to speed things up a bit.
