Good call with the casting issue. I'd been seeing that that wasn't working correctly but I just now figured it out. Gisp lacked the ability to have function arguments actually be functions t…

I think you are just having path issues. Also, you are using a gsp example to test gisp. There are a few shorthands that gsp supports that gisp does not - such as imports starting with /. Gisp wi…

I'm not sure what gisp you are running. The gsp program adds some imports by default (including the prelude). On the other hand, jcla1's gisp definitely does not include these files unless y…

You should be able to reach any Go library, in fact. Aside from the Prelude, the Gsp Stdlib[0] is in fact just bindings to the Go stdlib that casts every value from interface{} into the required type.…

This was a very kind and thoughtful way of putting this. I absolutely agree and really hate to see people rely on frameworks in Go (like Gorilla or Alice). These frameworks certainly have a place. But…

Do you have a link to the shop or any success stories? I'm pretty interested to read something in depth or even just hear more about your customers.

Thanks for taking the time to reply here, Jose. Elixir is definitely a very impressive language and as a former PL student, I am definitely a huge fan of your work. That said, if I were looking into a…

Not trolling. I used OCaml because it was "fun" and "highly-performant". Would I recommend it to my clients? No. Granted, this is almost entirely due to the POS stdlib - a problem …

I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the reference

I'm not calling you out, but in general when I hear people compare Go to languages with more "intense" typing (including Erlang, though possibly not Elixir) I find it funny. Go has a ve…

So what differentiates it from Clojure or Racket then (which are ostensibly more interested in transformations on data)?

I took a look at Erlang/Elixir a while ago and didn't get too far into it after realizing there was no compile-time type-checking. My main question coming out of it: if you are going to go w…

Out of curiosity, who are MSVCs high profile customers?

You write OCaml for Red Hat programs that customers use? Or you write OCaml for Red Hat customers' programs? Either way, care to share any examples?

This is really cool. Thank you for sharing!

Ouch, my mistake. 20th Century Fox's Robots.

You are right! But it is now apparent that the question I had in mind is completely different from the one I actually asked. nbadg caught on to what I meant which was more along the lines of: could su…

Ah of course, that was silly of me. I guess I meant suspended cable travel.

Hopefully not a completely ridiculous question, is there any chance cable technology like this could be used as public transportation in the future similar to in Pixar's Robots?

OT, I am too young to remember a time when switching ISPs meant switching email addresses. That is nuts!

This appears to have completely blown away all Alexa data. Even searching for google.com returns nothing.
