1) Tastes bland. 2) Think about how it tastes. 3) Tastes salty now. 4) Think again about how it tastes. 5) Goto 1. Hence the "strange loop".

Care to elaborate?

Very bare-bones implementation in one source file (+ 1 header) https://github.com/pedro-onate/eva/tree/84a62881c610ef23f9f1... . Later versions include GC, and bytecode compiler + …

Probably some form of verlet integration: http://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/tutorials/simulate-teara... . Author's github page also has links to a list of cloth simulation resour…

Interesting. I've never heard of D-list nomenclature before. With the A-list method you typically need to write a "zipper" function, that recursively conses the heads of two lists …

Its both a compiler and an interpreter. Read up on Petite Chez Scheme.

I'm very excited about this. I've been using Chez as my performance benchmark target for my own Scheme implementation.

First of all, it's great that you're exploring functional programming paradigms and their applicability to game programming/state management. That being said I have to point out so…

I've found that BSP trees are a quite elegant, albeit, more complicated alternative for handling point-in-polygon queries compared to raycasting. Essentially, it decomposes an arbi…

I found the statement regarding runtime exceptions confusing as well. Perhaps what is meant by that statement is that Pony lacks unchecked (i.e. Java) rather than runtime exception…

What makes Common Lisp macros easier to use than Scheme's?

Good example. Minor nitpick, you listed 0.09 twice.

This is one of those things that seems obvious in hindsight. However, it never occurred to me that one could simply use the lock address to impose a consistent and unique ordering …

I wouldn't place too much importance on their choice of implementation language. I'd imagine the goal of showcasing their reference implementation is to demonstrate the operational…

Real computer scientists use comic sans for their presentations. In all seriousness though, I've noticed that it was the font of choice for my CS professors in college.

Why does it matter what approach he took to solve the problem? What relevance does it have that someone else without domain expertise or post-graduate education is capable of solvi…

I believe something like http://sweetjs.org can polyfill "let" and "class" syntax.

If I'm not mistaken, this sounds like an incremental fisher-yates shuffle.

I don't believe non-stack based APIs prevent the implementation of the features you just mentioned. You don't necessarily have to expose the underlying stack manipulation routines …

Agreed. The biggest drawback IMHO is you defer errors that could have been caught at compile time to runtime if you had a saner interface.

Google buys these guys out.

I know it is too early to say, but if I had to guess what the next Google would look like, it would be this.
