A book I enjoyed on this subject was Warmth Disperses and Time Passes: The History Of Heat By Hans Christian Von Baeyer (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/184266/warmth-dispe...)

Blindsight, Peter Watts [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindsight_(Watts_novel)]. Avaliable free in a number of formats from his website: https://rifters.com/real/Blindsight.htm

Maybe not "better literature" but I always look forward to a new Rebus novel by Ian Rankin (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector%20Rebus).

Though, the best (IMHO) whodunnit of 2018 is Stuart Turton's "The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36337550-the-7-deaths-of...)

Would that play be Copenhagen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen_(play))? If so, I highly recommend the BBC adaptation with Daniel Craig as Heisenberg, Stephen Rea as Niels Bohr, and Francesca Annis as Margrethe Bohr.

Also Church [http://projects.csail.mit.edu/church/wiki/Church], a Scheme derivative with probabilistic semantics.

Or the threading macro #(-> 5 %)

Re: conkeror, I keep hoping the lazy web will take Shane Celis's emacsy and webkit proof of concept[0] and make a scheme-based emacs-like browser.

Depends what you want, but to access the data in info boxes look into http://dbpedia.org and sparql. For a quick intro into that see Bob DuCharme's post http://www.snee.com/bobdc.blog/2008/10/learning-more-about-s...

For those using a windows environment I find TeXworks (http://www.tug.org/texworks/) is an easily installable TeX environment.

This project looks interesting and although I don't have much time to get into it at the moment I'm mainly commenting to create a personal bookmark for it and to thank you for sharing your project.

Please consider moving the project to a hosting site like github which would make it easier to track updates to it and easier to find in the future. Thanks again!

The benefits of dynamic languages are not their speed, its the rapid prototyping and interactivity they provide once the prototype has been designed it can be implemented for speed in any lanuage providing the features you need.

From the conference page (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/mlvm/jvmlangsummit/) it seems like the talks were recorded by infoq who recorded last year's talks. If they follow the same method as last year these talks will slowly trickle onto the infoq website over the next few months. See http://www.infoq.com/JVMLanguageSummit for last year's talks.

I know at least the clojure book (http://pragprog.com/titles/shcloj/programming-clojure) is available in epub format which is essentially xhtml zipped with metadata files (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB).
