That's surprising. I went there recently, and you aren't permitted to bring any electronic devices whatsoever - you have to leave them in a locker and then take a ~30 minute bus ride to the telescope. They're also very strict

The transputer actually has a successor called the XCore[0], which is produced by XMOS. They're founded by the same fellow that came up with the transputer (David May). It's a similar concept again - it's a multi-core chip fo

This does seem very interesting! Because of your comment I started reading the architecture document for the GreenArrays[0] chip, and it's totally different to anything I've seen: a network of processing units, and the whole thing

Seconded! This is a fantastic book. Be warned: the English translation of the sequel is not yet released (and you will want it).

I was lucky to get a mix of C, Java, and Haskell. Unfortunately (to my detriment) I totally ignored Haskell, and it didn't really click until I picked it up at the end of my degree out of curiosity- it really does help to clarify one&#

Looks interesting. However, does the following not mean that it's not portable? > Note that if Shen is not running on a Lisp platform, then function may be needed to disambiguate those symbol arguments that denote functions.

I chose between Go and Haskell for a project some time around 2012. I was a beginner to both, but came from a background of imperative languages (C, C++, Java, etc.) Initially I felt the same as you: Go was much easier to get things done in

Really I just wanted to point out that the State Monad is not actually hiding any "real" mutation anywhere, nor is it related to the IO Monad- I was confused on this point for some time when learning Haskell.

> So as I understand it,languages like Haskell(which I dont know) wrap states into a type that can be passed to pure functions right? I would restate this as: "In Haskell you write a description of a stateful computation." The
