What is "GCP"?

A password is just not enough. 2FA is almost a necessity I would guess.

First and probably last time I ever heard of Ryver. I thought Discord was something like Slack?

How will Instrumentl generate revenue? Taking the person from Italy that found a grant through you, what did that mean for Instrumentl in terms of income and how?

How will those looking for grants find you?

Curb is the app I've seen for Taxi service.

> Why not just use Clojure?

I guess as a professional Python developer, it would take some time to get used to all the parentheses. I've used Emacs for 20+ years, but outside of elisp I've never been comfortable with s-exprs.

I had never heard of om.next. I think this is what you mean: https://github.com/omcljs/om ?? correct?

Well, looking at how much garbage was needed to implement todomvc in Backbone kept me from considering it any further :)

Speed is one thing, but the fact that you must replicate your business model client AND server-side with Elm is a huge minus. I would take ScalaJS over any 4 of those frameworks any day.

Step forward to ScalaJS and dont look back?

I'm just saying that everything that Angular makes convenient via the hints it throws in HTML is handled behind the scenes by calling Javascript libraries.

I would much rather the QooxDoo approach of writing apps in pure Javascript and using Javascript libraries instead of the HTML/JS/CSS soup that Angular tries to serve up to me as convenience.

It might be more convenient for someone who cant write computer programs. But for me it insults my ability to read, extend and use well-documented APIs.

Angular is difficult to grok because it makes computer programming second class and limited to what you can cram into HTML tags.

Angular isnt really a Google product - Misko Hevery and another guy (both Google SW Engineers) developed in their free time.

Dart is a Google product and I would say is much easier to grok than Angular.

Intercooler.js is quite cool.

Schema [1] does not appear to have any support for object initialization.

Yes, Schematics is impressive. Thank you, I added it to my list of Python OOP extensions [1]. I wonder why you need to supply a dictionary to the object instead of keyword pairs.

I think if you import mock you can create mock.Mock() instances that allow you to assign fields that way.

In all earnesty, do you have an interest in your clients making big profits? Or is it in your best interest that most of your clients lose so that you can pay a few winners?

Do you have a training program that can help me go from 0 to full-time derivatives trader?

> it was able to become one of the most widely used languages precisely because, despite all its warts, it implements the core foundations from the lambda calculus correctly

You think that's why Javascript is widely used? I think it's widely used because it was already useable within the browser and people just kept going with it.

> Best of VIM and EMACS.

Since there is no good in VIM (besides being pre-installed on every *nix platform), you know what that equation leads to... just emacs.

That's a pretty lightweight Emacs config. Mine is based on emacs-starter-kit (technomancy's creation) and is much larger - https://github.com/metaperl/emacs

Does the work of Charles Simonyi and intentional programming change this?

do you draw a distinction between currency and money?
