Fossil's also very easy to put online, needing at a minimum a two-line bash file to function as a CGI script. Maybe more relevant to private data, the builtin wiki makes a good personal knowledge database. The next…
Civilization collapses entirely oh wow, power is very fluid. it's easy to break into power anywhere now. You don't have these awful elites preventing you from doing whatever you want to do.
Gauche Scheme ... even Chicken Scheme could be used for a lot of sysadmin tasks
Nobody really is, or they'd be worrying about the evidence for talking snakes. This is some kind of "the grass is greener on the other side" stuff. Local myths are absurd, but foreign myths are evidence.
No, but it'd be easy. You need 1. a request to return org-mode data (or for requests to contain it in a mechanically distinguishable manner, an option if your normal output is org-mode plus some JavaScript that renders…

Yeah, there's no amount of bigoted "Haskell uber alles" posturing that can replace a simple, supported argument. None of the reading you think you've done, and I haven't, has succeeded in distinguishing your output from…
1. avoid metrics. Ask during the interview how they gauge your work performance, how people get bonuses, etc. As a rule you'd much rather be judged by a person, your direct manager, than by an Excel sheet. Yes, hostile…

It's really not, as people by themselves don't pose much of a military threat. What you really want to do is break all the stuff that lets those people actually threaten you. Granted, much of that stuff is arranged in…
There are, I'm sure, some people out there who just don't want to dirty their own hands with military work. After all, technology can lead to more than "hitting the right targets"; it could also lead to "nobody opposes…

You can learn things in one language that you might as easily learn in another. The argument here is that you wouldn't learn these things from Elm.

Laziness is a superficially useful anti-feature. I'd suggest waiting with OCaml until dependently-typed languages become more practical.
The actual reason is probably "when people use primes, they post code that gets syntax-highlighted by tools that don't know about primes, and this results in Elm code looking broken and stupid."

That has its downsides, but if the people maintaining the language are too lacking in strong opinions about the language, you'll have other kinds of problems: bad features get into the language and now everyone must be…
