I tried understanding the rules but actually using it helped me to get it. Especially when I was using a parser combinator to parse a programming language.

What does TigerBeetle stand on the CAP theorem? Sounds like it's AP?

> I used Scala for interactively inspect functions in jar you don't have source code.

How do you do that? I've only used javap on the command line for this.

ducklord — Mon, 20 Jun 2016 19:01:25 +0000

Hey Alan, you once said that lisp is the greatest single programming language ever designed. Recently, with all the emergence of statically typed languages like Haskell and Scala, has that changed? Why do you think after being around for so long, lisp isn't as popular as mainstream languages like Java, C or Python? And lastly, what are your thoughts on MIT's switch to use Python instead of Scheme to teach their undergraduate CS program?

Hmm...Jane Street?
