lambdaway is built on a wiki engine, lambdatank, and a small Lisp dialect, lambdatalk.
I was looking through the book Expert C Programming again when I came upon their “light relief” section on The International Obfuscated C Code Competition . It’s a contest to write the most obscure code. That the language C has a competition where you write confusing code in it probably says something about the…
Sampling is one of the most powerful tools you can wield to extract meaning from large datasets. It lets you reduce a massive pile of data into a small yet representative dataset that’s fast and easy to use.
While none of the ideas in core.async are new, understanding how to solve problems with CSP is simply not as well documented as using plain callbacks or Promises . My previous posts have mostly explored fairly sophisticated uses of core.async , this post instead takes the form of a very basic tutorial on using…

These changes are now live for testing, but with an extremely small corpus of…
