The most Pythonic spoken language is English, because Monty Python was British.

Depends on if you're primarily interested in getting utility as soon as possible, in which case use whatever solves the problem you'd most like to solve. If that is making some web…

Trivially leads to local optima only, though. You're intentionally making a stake somewhere with no reasonable expectation of high quality, after all.

"Therefore... what? Just give up? Or start over from a non-flawed base?" - those would both be ways to avoid the presumed local optima, yes. "Which is what? Still to be created, or…

"The encouraging thing today is that we're kind of converging on good practices in language design." - doubtful that we'll arrive at good practices in language design through incre…

Solve problems! Caveat: Many books seem to have bad problems. If the majority of the problems seem to be the same problem with different parameters, that might raise a warning.

To quote Hamming: """In science if you know what you are doing you should not be doing it. In engineering if you do not know what you are doing you should not be doing it.""" It fo…

someone has to have some sense of taste, rather than be fashionistas. e.g. I see more than 2-3 posts a day about non-lisps. What's so good about those?

It doesn't. There's a few math heavy exercises in the first chapter, and the math is generally explained as it goes along too. Except for the first chapter, it's pretty math-free.

How many artefacts that show imagination and will survive >70k years have you made lately? Are you intelligent?

Sounds like you might have a case of the fallacy fallacy :)

"The Machine Stops" by Forster sent me for a loop back in high school.
