  1. Thinking about the "Moonwalk" project codename for openAPI 4.0 (in @lornajane 's talk at #FOSDEM) makes me smile, esp. if it includes embracing GraphQL - MJ's moonwalk was all about looking like you're going forward but are actually going backwards. Did I just say that out loud? ;-) #FightingTalk

  2. @mdhughes @amoroso This is the heart of the whole Lisp1/Lisp2 argument.

    I am of the Orthodox persuasion: in #Lisp, a function is a first class object, so there should be no difference between a function and a value, so if a value is in a function position it should be treated as a function (i.e. applied with the CDR of the expression as its arg list).

    The Catholics, of course, differ; but they're little more than heathens and doctrinally closer to #Fortran.

  3. @DazzlingDamo they are Irish, and they are better than their namesake in the South. In fact, it's not even close. #hardtruths and #fightingtalk

  4. @nixCraft Bzzt, nope. This sort of use of cat is far from "useless"*, and this "useless use of cat" idea needs to be retired :-)

    *plenty of reasons why, too many to fit here

  5. @rsletta this is also why I like to refer to the Web based platform as "native", and Android/iOS/other platforms as "proprietary" ;-)
