Similar articles but for Erlang BEAM would be great as well.

For the 3rd party (ones that you want to show off the achievement), I don't think there is any difference between "Passed course on Coursera" vs "Passed course on Coursera and paid for certificate".

With all these MS open sourcing stuff stuff - any plans for Visual FoxPro? :)

This happens vice-versa as well - I've found replies/invitations to interviews in my spam folder several times, when I've already had accepted another job.

Same here, although with C++ only. And still continuing using it.

Republik Österreich? ;) Low wages for tech people... Although, the average I believe should be higher.

"country", "Europe",... words should be detected nearby, I believe.

There is also SlickEdit, but it doesn't get mentioned at all.

If you want to trace to original OO, I believe you should go back to Simula.

Yes (a shameful plug :)), I've used macros to generate code for different number of arguments for std::function like lib for pre-C++11 compilers (back in 2009): https://github.com/zura-kh/yaf.Function

He also added (prepended, to be precise) that it's not a science. :)

"We tried this once with YC, and it didn't work well."

Any post-mortems about this?

EDIT: One interesting observation (from the outsider's perspective) - As I see, Clojure encourages use of primitive/language-provided data structures such as maps, lists, etc.. instead of creating your own abstractions and "inventing languages" (this is mentioned in a negative context, in Clojure docs). This is radically different approach compared to e.g. SICP, where creating many mini languages is actually encouraged. I personally find Clojure approach messy and unstructured (Also browsing a code in the wild). Anyway, as I can tell, Clojure has enough support to create well structured abstractions.

Multimethods - maybe, but I think Records should be introduced much earlier, and probably Protocols as well.

Creating abstractions shouldn't be the most advanced topic in the language.

Looking at ToC, the odd thing about Clojure for the Brave and True is that the very last chapter is:

Chapter 13: Creating and Extending Abstractions with Multimethods, Protocols, and Records

... This chapter serves as an introduction to the world of creating and implementing your own abstractions.

Wouldn't it make more sense to introduce tools for creating your abstractions at least in the first part of the book?

But not in every country. HR told me that Mozilla can't hire in Georgia (the country in Europe). She contacted me because she initially thought I'm from US state Georgia...

Any experiences creating merchant account on Play store with this? (from unsupported countries). Do you also have to pay income/sales/other taxes to Estonia?

Also, unlike those three countries, Abkhazia is a region of Georgia currently occupied by Russia.

I remember it in Borland C++ 3.1. If I remember correctly, it was one of the samples using BGI.

Same situation in Georgia (outside of the tech industry), but at least you're in EU (unlike Georgia, yet...) ;)

As for corruption, the low-level part of it (e.g. cops taking bribes) is eliminated here, fortunately.

It is not in EU yet, but for some companies this might be even preferable ;)

I'd say, so far, Georgia is one of the most capitalist states in Europe.

Hey Patrick, slight off-topic: Any plans to support Georgia (the country in Europe)?

On Windows/DOS, it is common to have command line options passed with '/'. PowerShell itself has /? option (shows a help message).

If you're not after investors money in SV and plan to just bootstrap your business, what are the advantages of moving to US?

Is it possible to publish paid apps on Google Play store with this? From the unsupported country (While Estonia is supported as a merchant country).

Regarding Golang's if-hell e.g. in https://github.com/kabukky/journey/blob/master/database/upda...

Couldn't you use panic/recover locally, inside functions - just for having a single error handling code?
