Why do you think the C was easier to write?

I see what you mean and although the definition of a from-scratch transducer looks a bit ugly to me, the idea of composing existing transducers together seems rather elegant.

Though I likely haven't completely understood each of the authors gripes, each problem to me seems to have a notable solution provided by Clojure (with the exception of tail-call optimization). Clojure: is compiled to JVM byte-code and

I recommend Peter Attia's (currently unfinished) series, "The straight dope on cholesterol". He's a surgeon interested in health and fitness. http://eatingacademy.com/?s=cholesterol

It seems to me that Apple has had a rich history of interesting languages: Squeak, Dylan, Hypertalk, AppleScript and Swift. Those are just the ones I know of.

I agree "they"/"them" sounds cleaner than "he or she"/"him or her" but isn't it officially incorrect? I do like that Facebook has started using "they"/"them".

Except for special occasions: no vegetable oil, no wheat, less sugar. I agree with much of the paleo, keto, weight lifting and meditation submissions on here. I would add that I think there isn't much better for you than saturated and

I can't recommend LastPass enough. Also, PIA for VPN. I put a little cash and my credit card in my phone case so that I have only one thing to carry and always have money on me. I really liked f.lux when I used windows, if only I had a
