In the previous post about transducers, I did not discuss early termination of reducing functions and transducers. For the examples given in that post, early termination was irrelevant. It is, however, an important and tricky aspect of reducing functions and transducers. Early te … | Continue reading

Several years ago, I came across The Python Paradox by Paul Graham. In it, Graham argues that Lisp and Python programmers are often those who genuinely care about programming and, as a result, tend to do it better than, for instance, Java programmers. This perspective fundamental … | Continue reading
