Could this be implemented in Rust or Clojure?

Does Anglican kind of do this?

Reminds me of FoundationDB and Antithesis[0].

I want a link to the GitHub for this[0] which he linked to. Makes Prolog quite interesting.

A good article that is critical of the previous book by Weiner ("Legacy of Ashes") is this article[0].

Here is a quote from it: "A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist has distorted what was said, why it was said, when it was said, and the circumstances under which it was said—all to support his thesis that CIA has been a continuous failure from 1947 up to the present. Weiner’s use of the plural 'final gatherings' in the excerpt from his account suggests he knows what he is doing."

This was posted yesterday[0] but I think it is something that should get more attention.

Awesome!

I would pay for a layman’s book that explained how all 4 parts were solved.

I am a proud cosmist!
