In Korea it's called 핸드폰 (pronounced like: hen duh pone). Not sure where it borrowed that from directly though.

Does anyone know what tool was used to create that diagram?

Not meaningfully more complicated. You know when you've reached the end of your object of you are actually parsing it, so you also know when the next one can begin.

Although I happened to learn OCaml first, I am actually arguing that learning SML is a better way to learn the concepts behind tremendously more complex and less user-friendly languages like OCaml a…

For what it's worth, I think OCaml's syntax is one of its weakest points (not to mention syntax extensions...) and I have been writing OCaml 3 years longer than I've been writing Standa…

I have ~4 years experience writing OCaml, and ~1 year experience writing Standard ML. I also once did contracting for a Play app in Scala for 3 months. A month ago, I started looking into Haskell for …

Cutting to the chase: use Haskell or Scala or F# if you need to do some scripting or build a web application that requires lots of different tasks (being a web server, rendering templates, connecting …

Sure, here's how it works with tmux: 1. Install weechat, tmux, mosh 2. Make sure firewall allows mosh 3. Start a named tmux session (tmux new -s weechat) 4. Start weechat 5. Detach session (Ctrl-…

Personally, I have a tiny VPS running weechat, tmux, and mosh that let's me keep history and stay connected 24/7.

Thanks for the additional perspective there. I'll have to keep that in mind.

Thanks for taking the time to write this detailed summary. Ring is quite an impressive project.

Look into "New Jersey vs. MIT" and "worse is better". The idea more or less is that AT&T (in Jersey) cared more about software that shipped whereas MIT cared about more about g…

My reading of the MLton page [0] on the subject suggests that the standard is in fact insufficient for full unicode support. [0] http://mlton.org/Unicode …

That is an excellent point. There are a few notable shortcomings in Standard ML and I often wonder what the harm would be to create a language that diverges from the standard to support some very basi…

You can also compile Standard ML to Javascript using SMLtoJS [0] via MLKit [1]. melsman even has an online IDE [1] with which you can play around with his reactive web stuff. [0] http://www…
