Both of the *Python* data science conferences I've attended this year have discussed #julialang. The future looks bright!

Org-mode is all about getting things done: hence the non-trivial awk scripts! http://t.co/LBodRExUd3
Ruby's flip-flop operator is a remarkable bit of syntax with implicit state: http://t.co/P0nefQprs1
I'm excited about https://sourcegraph.com/ as it lets you intelligently search a huge amount of open source code. Similar ideas to OpenGrok.
What can Scheme learn from JS? http://t.co/mBG4H3Hg3k Great overview of language design: dynamism is hard, consider performance early.
It's a funny state of affairs when Emacs folks cite *performance* as a reason for using a browser written in elisp! http://t.co/TgZOfN75tu
Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends!
Awesome #Emacs package of the day: emr. A refactoring tool for elisp. http://t.co/dDXXD9jA8X
In the Plan 9 document I linked, they talk about the social benefits of programmers working on the same system. What's today's equivalent?
Fascinating description of Plan 9 design: http://t.co/Qa0jkiT1ND many interesting design choices including its sharing and backups.
I've added triple-quoted string support to julia-mode.el! https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/9152 It was a really fun deep dive in syntactic fontification.
Emacs' make-syntax-table does not give you an *empty* syntax table (" is treated as a string delimiter). Argh. Their reprs are unreadable.
That nice feeling when you throw away your local hacks because upstream has accepted your patches.
Good tech 'makes simple stuff easy and hard stuff possible'. The hard stuff still requires thought, sadly. No silver bullet.
I have a new-found respect for major mode authors. Writing a syntax-propertize-function is hard.
