I recall why this looks familiar. Their chief scientist put up a job posting on the subreddit for array languages. It sounds like they know how to use some pretty powerful tools. h…

I agree :)

Or Lisp and Haskell :)

Growing sure, but still extremely niche. I think a recent report showed ~15 open jobs worldwide. A lot of Haskell users learn it for intellectual curiosity rather than any expectat…

Cosmic Crisps will supposedly not only taste amazing, but be cheaper than Honeycrisps as they're easier to manage and orchard owners are replacing red delicious as it is basically …

Julia can show s-expressions for an expression I think...sorta what you asked, but not really I know. If you really want something like pandas + lisp then you probably need Common …

This is the greatest sarcastic comment I've seen all year. You nailed the Haskell zealot to a tee. Meanwhile the Forth zealot is getting IBS just hearing about the code complexity …

"@" is for an array variable or pulling something in array context. You can have variables declared with $, @, or % depending on whether it is a scalar, array, or hash structure.

I've been in hundreds of P6 conversations and it is always such a bummer to see that this is always the number 1 thing discussed. Not the merits of the language, not the grammars, …

I've thought of both of these things before, but don't have the appetite for such a venture at the moment.

6 years since D2? Did you mean D3, or was there a re-make?

The impact from greenhouse gases is already either a factor in some power markets (which heavily use state of the art optimization and are among the hardest problems to solve when …

Interesting to hear you say this. Power energy markets are run using LP & MILP algorithms and a huge topic right now is accounting for non-convexivities.

I received an old washing machine when i got married and a new dryer. That washing machine is super heavy, but still working. The dryer is a POS and the plastic knobs have all star…

Ah, similar name. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.

Ummmm yes & no. It has a REPL, but it sure isn't easy to use and very few C# coders actually use it. Contrast that with a dynamic language like Python where people basically live i…

It uses LLVM like Swift, Rust, & Julia. I'm not sure if it can beat highly optimized C code, but generally is in the neighborhood of C, while letting you code like a rubyist. This …

I think they may have stopped that after being bought by Sony? I don't think it is still around.

A+ was invented by Arthur Whitney for JP Morgan (iirc). I'm sure they have some things in house still using it, but that it's mostly been deprecated by Whitney's Kdb+ environment w…

Yea, but I clicked around and did a quick Google to find out it's a custom distro. Not too hard, but I guess they could make that easier.

Let's be honest here. Everybody familiar with System76 (slight exaggeration, but mostly correct) is somebody looking outside the box. There's a good chance they already use Linux a…
