In other lisps a let form has a body that the binding(s) range over and they are not available outside. As in `(let n 12 (+ n n))` here n wouldn't be accessible after. You have `(def name 5)` for making definitions that are readable outsude.

Great article, thank you for sharing! The web-push package has a generateVAPIDKeys have you tried that? Was it not good since you use vapidkeys.com?
Amazing how intelligent people think intelligence can be quantified in a single number.

I’ll tell you one thing about useless stuff. Sometimes it turns out to be useful, only in a way you hadn’t imagined.

In The Black Swan, Nassim Nicholas Taleb argues that applying game theory to real life situations is one instance of the ludic fallacy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludic_fallacy

Why would you hold 10,000 elements in a linked list?
Oh I understood you as if you where claiming we are currently in a tech bubble that will burst soon. That's why I asked when this would happen.
When will this crash come? And how do you know?

I would claim ANTLR is such a tool.
Re:Writing Parsers Like it is 2017 [pdf] on Wednesday June 28, 2017 @03:55PM (#14657673)
Are they? I thought parser combinators made parsing context sensitive grammars easier than when using parser generators.
True, irrational shared a first hand experience and then proceeded to speculate as if that experience was evidence that smoking is more prevalent in Canada than in the US.
Do you have numbers to back up your claim?
That is one weird array in Google's reply. Looks like it could have been an object instead, whereby JSON hijacking wouldn't be a problem.
Re:T3X – a minimal procedural language on Friday May 05, 2017 @04:47PM (#14276721)
I don't think it was intended in the formal sense either. But "minimalistic" or "small" would probably be more suitable.
Re:The beginning of Git supporting other hash algorithms on Sunday March 19, 2017 @10:05AM (#13907130)
Someone please remind me why the hash is not a type definition so the representation would only have to be changed in one place.
I shall have to commit my crime in cloudy weather then.
Re:Why Don't We Have a General-Purpose Tree Editor? (2014) on Monday February 06, 2017 @09:19AM (#13579570)
Isn't it only the types of the AST-nodes rather than semantics you need a common representation for?
Will they?
Living in Copenhagen, Denmark I'm not sure that moving here necessarily will make you more happy. Maybe the results would be different if one looked at what makes expats happy when moving to a new country.

Thanks for the offer. I've seen this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJVL80Gg3lA and I think I understand how it works but still think the results are amazing.
