Once a day is usually enough. And it's true - HN is, to me at least, Reddit minus the viral videos.

SICP SICP SICP (Some Haskell would be good too, but there's just no SICP equivalent yet.)

This is cool, especially when you think of the opportunities it offers for DDoS prevention.

I'll just say that "intelligence.org" is as heavy-handed as Google buying the .dev TLD.

Ooh, ooh, real Haskell!

Thanks a ton, although I might still go ahead with my original plan.

I was thinking of writing the core in C++ (or even Haskell - I just realised that I haven't even considered it!) and using Python as the main scripting language, sorta like it is in Blender.

Ask HN: What would it take to rewrite Vim?

(Yes, I'm crazy, I know.)So, I'm somewhat okay at programming, with an early-intermediate level of proficiency in Python and C++ by now.I'd like to know what it would take to rewrite Vim from scratch, with the long term goals of adding in all the sweet Emacs stuff (like integrated scripting and the like) as well as things like an integrated package manager etc.What things would I need to teach...

I just read through what you had to say about the death of HyperCard.

Why do you think Python etc. do not fill the hole HyperCard has left? Is it because of their ever-so-slight price of admission (which tends to push non-professional users away, as compared to the comfortable familiarity of a GUI)?
