why do I love CSV?

Moldbug Should Be Sanctioned

I want to start off by saying that I strongly respect John De Goes and the decision he made. If you haven't already read his extensive post about what he did and why he did it, I highly recommend you take the time. His post is thorough and generally persuaded me to his way of thinking, which is not that the works of Moldbug should be accepted or ignored, but that we need to be inclusive of differing beliefs in a community, so long as the holder of those beliefs is willing to "leave them at the door". This is a strong, intellectually defensible and consistent position.

However, as the day has gone on, and I've discussed this issue at length with many members of the community. I have come to the conclusion that this is idealistic, and ultimately missing the point. And as strange as it seems, the point is not that there is a literal Neo Nazi who will be speaking at a well-regarded conference! The point is somehow bigger tha

tl;dr You should watch this.

It's interesting to me that a significant number of talks in this year's Strange Loop conference referenced a 1966 paper by Peter Landin called (somewhat tongue in cheek) "The Next 700 Programming Languages". In this paper, Landin describes a programming language which he says in a footnote might be aptly called "Church without the lambda" - but which in the paper is called "If You See What I Mean" (ISWIM).

Alvaro's talk delved deeply into the question of "What is the semantics or meaning of a program?" Alvaro's thesis is that the meaning of a program is to produce desired outcomes from a computing system but that current languages focus on
