What? You say that software with tests is more reliable, and then give an example of reliable software without tests.

I can't stop myself from reading it like free verse because of the line breaks :|

Classic game theory: it's (supposedly) a net benefit for everyone to watch TV, but for any given person it's a net loss.

I wonder what a language with a three character Fibonacci sequence would be like. You'd probably need Unicode, if the language wasn't specifically designed for the Fibonacci sequence.

I don't care which language is popular, I want to know what makes a language popular. I try to choose languages orthogonally to popularity.

I wonder if perl would be less popular if it was a better language.

I use a really similar wm called Awesome (written in C and Lua), but I might switch once I grok haskell more.

Yep, total old boys club; you only get in from reference counting. When will women be able to mark and sweep?

This is very dubious (proving the opposite is easier), but it was quite a lot of fun.

...Man, Clojure seems to have just about everything from every language ever.

I like Lisp too, but there's nothing especially accurate about it's arithmetic that you can't get in other civilized languages.

Smalltalk would be trivial to model with s-exps: (object message args)

I think you need laziness to be a little more prevalent than that before it makes a difference. Haskell's super-concise Fibonacci sequence illustrates that: let fib = 1 : 1 : zipWith (+) fib (tail fib)

This question would be the length of a book if I had to define those words. Any hostility you detected was imagined. I was only pondering if a language in a certain style could be overly restrictive.

http://utilitymill.com/utility/MetaUtility Just about the same thing for Python. It would probably be trivial to write another one like _why's with Rails, though

Some of the biggest reasons to learn a new language are the features that you can take back to more domestic ones; almost nothing that makes Icon special (backtracking, generators, string scanning) can be used in other languages
