It is here in HN that I first heard Pablo Neruda's "No culpes a nadie". Even though a fan of Neruda I somehow had missed this. Perhaps this speaks to you something too: ## Don't Blame Anyone Never complain about anyone,…
In addition to your list here, I am drawn by ES6 on the backend. This is not javascript of the early days. On Differentiable Programming, you might be aware of a tensorflow counterpart in javascript:…
Nim is a languge that has good performance and I had good experience porting an enterprise Python application to Nim (for performance gain). For a new user the risk obviously is the newness of Nim but the Nim team was…
OP likes Swift and he compared it to other languages Python, Go, C++ & Rust, Julia. In the enterprise sphere that I am in, I haven't seen Swift and its hard to move a team in this direction at this point. Python already…
Isn't it Go?
I don't miss generics either, not in the least. The interface system, Go's particular approach to it, takes me a long way ... I won't ask for any new feature for today or tomorrow. But for day after tommorow, within a…
Favourties: > Worked on most of the Go standard library. Primary author of net/http, database/sql, os/exec, Go's build/test CI system, etc. Thank you. Software poetry they are to me. And this one: > met Googler wife…
I am an average Go programmer, so I may not be deep into Go as you might be. However the mention of GOPATH catches my eye. All my issues with GOPATH went away for me when I started using the Go Modules:…
> At least those who do, want to learn because they can build cool things they can show off to friends. I have no doubt about what you say. I had a really broken laptop that my 3rd grader happily tookover as his laptop,…
Link to a slide set in this distribution -- the overall approach. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cF7qFtjAzkXL_r62CjxB... A beautiful piece of work. What else to say.
A piece of jewel. Reminds me of chalk board talks of Gilbert Strang and Robert Gallager (also on youtube, mit video lectures) that celebrates this gift for teaching us something.
Consider that fact that prime-minister of Singapore knows Haskell by now http://wadler.blogspot.com/2015/04/prime-minister-of-singapo... He is already quite good with C++…
Politicians are not at all stupid in general. The problem we have is in their selective listening after we elect them. If a legislator is not technically up to speed, considerable tax payer money goes towards hiring…
more than that, I'd say. The young auto-rikshaw man on my way to the bus station from those gates was telling me about his kidney disease and how those sisters helped raise the substantial money for a transplant ...
Recently I was in India and certain circumstances connected me with a facility for the elderly run by an order of Catholic Nuns. I visited them quite a few times and while inside those closed gates there was this sense…
I heartily wish that you continue learning Rust, another significant contribution to open source languages. What has been already commented, things such as borrow/checker are humps you work through and it will work out…
When I started an enterprise data project with a small team where Python was the familar workhorse we stopped for moment initially to think of ways to improve performance. Cython was the familiar route with Python but…

This body of knowledge taught to us from early 1960's onwards is remarkable, they accomplished so much in the world. Clever 'graphical' algorithms like Karnaugh Maps that subsume more theoretical structures such as…
'Topics In Algebra' by I.N.Herstein. Back in college years this was my first book. Despite many other books (which might look easier) I always came back here because of the care it takes to walk through well crafted…

fashion/media centers like NY have their own buzz even in technology. I remember back when Scala appeared, even Wall Street Journal running an article touting Scala as the next big happening in technology.
Thanks for mentioning, I didn't know of this. A classic Python module it is, sweet and simple.
In the early 1980's in addition to Smalltalk, the precursors of Haskell such as Hope, Miranda ... Byte would bring us these research languages and one would jump in and try them out.
Here in Nevada, my experience is that Walmart's online business and delivery is strongly superior. It has been a refreshing thing to see a massive global company turn around and do something very right.
