I was hoping there would be discussion of this point higher up in the thread, because I had essentially the same reaction as you while reading this passage. I'm no expert of machin…

I was also struggling to convey this point. I think you've hit the nail on the head.

You've gotten a couple responses making arguments that the atoms required for a language like lisp are fundamentally simpler than eval in Perl and that makes the difference... Fwiw…

It's one thing if you have a source of revenue so justify your S3 costs. My interpretation of the parent commentator's concern is that this person has opened up a multi gigabyte S3…

"Hellman's doesn't resemble the real stuff" That's a little exaggerated, don't you think? I'm no mayonnaise expert, but those lists of ingredients look pretty similar to me.

Are you suggesting that ruby's design is more broken than PHP's?

Although I agree with others that the video leaves a bit to be desired, I thought I understood the point well enough and was looking forward to trying it out... Then I attempted to…
