ebitengine is "a dead simple 2D game library for Go". I like it.

You can send your CV to me. I run a research group working in that area. My email is myfirstname.mylastname AT analog DOT com.

Here's another long literate program that was written using Literate: https://justinmeiners.github.io/lc3-vm/

Literate ( https://zyedidia.github.io/literate/ and https://github.com/zyedidia/Literate ) is a great option for anybody interested in Literate Programming.

The book will be released on February 2. "Ideas That Created the Future: Classic Papers of Computer Science" edited by Harry Lewis, and published by MIT Press.

Also, he's written an incredible series of groundbreaking papers throughout his career, going back to 2005. His papers tend to hold up very well. At this point, I carefully read an…

For deaths, the USA has a total of 1,184, and the 8 countries of Western Europe have 15,437, or about 14 times higher on a per-capita basis.

One should of course normalize by population. The USA has a population of 327 million. Eight nations in Western Europe (France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands, Bel…

See also http://literate.zbyedidia.webfactional.com/ and https://github.com/zyedidia/Literate for information about "Literate", which is my favorite Literate programming tool.

When my son was around 12 years old we gave him the book "Hello World: Computer Programming for Kids and Other Beginners." It teaches programming with Python and targets making gam…

Somewhat related is MyHDL, a hardware description language implemented as a Python library, that was mostly done by a single individual (Jan Decaluwe). See http://www.myhdl.org/

That's why we developed the "Boundary Forest" algorithm which is a fast nearest-neighbor type algorithm with generalization at least as good as K-NN, while being able to respond to…

I would not lump edX in with Coursera and Udacity. As noted in Wikipedia: "EdX differs from other MOOC providers, such as Coursera and Udacity, in that it is a nonprofit organizati…

They are responsible for approving funding, and the mayor appropriated $6 million for the project without getting their approval. They would now have to find a way to pay for it, b…

One difference is that Literate isn't tied to a particular text editor like org/babel is tied to Emacs. You can edit .lit files in any text editor. That said, while there already e…

The output is basically designed to look like the output of Knuth and Levy's CWEB tool. Maybe a better example to look at on the "try it" page is the wc.lit example, which makes a …

That's an excellent idea. I don't think it would work for all languages, but it's still a good solution, and will be added to the TODO list.

Thanks, it's fixed now.

Thanks for the comment. Because this "Literate" software outputs nicely formatted code (including automatically included comments identifying code blocks) in the target language, i…

If you don't like to read long articles, don't read them. I like to read them; they tend to be much easier to understand than artificially shortened articles. It seems to me that c…

What a strange attitude! There's plenty of zero-cost bits available to allow for articles of all sorts of lengths. For example, the "Foundations and Trends" journals (e.g. Foundati…
