jekyll: a hyper-declarative, statically-typed programming language around environment manipulation

# x is introduced to the environment
{ ..?e } → { x := 3 ; ..?e }
# y too ; ?e is not the same row variable as the one above
{ ..?e } → { y := 5 ; ..?e }
# matching the current context on one that contains an x and a y
# which allows us to add them to introduce y
{ x ; y ; ..?e } → { z := x + y ; ..?e }

Anti-hype LLM reading list

Goals: Add links that are reasonable and good explanations of how stuff works. No hype and no vendor content if possible. Practical first-hand accounts of models in prod eagerly sought.

JavaScript Interview Questions

Q1: Explain equality in JavaScript ☆

Answer: JavaScript has both strict and type–converting comparisons:

• Strict comparison (e.g., ===) checks for value equality without allowing coercion
• Abstract comparison (e.g. ==) checks for value equality with coercion allowed

Interview Questions

Node.js

Q1: What do you mean by Asynchronous API? ☆☆

Answer: All APIs of Node.js library are aynchronous that is non-blocking. It essentially means a Node.js based server never waits for a API to return data. Server moves to next API after calling it and a notification mechanism of Events of Node.js helps server to get response from the previous API call.

Appreciating the elegant simplicity of Immer

There is an ongoing shift in programming towards a more constrained mindset, recognizing shared mutable state and side effects as significant sources of accidental complexity and concepts like immutability and reactive, unidirectional pipelines as ways to overcome it. Simplicity is less optional than before, based on an understanding about the limited capacity of human working memory and based on programming language theory and practice. The functional programming ideas seeping into the mainstream leave less people to say that they wouldn't need them because of maybe never having used them.

The basic idea of controlling complexity through constraints is not novel at all, though, and it raises a valid question about why this shift has taken so long to develop, despite the overall trends towards automation and productivity. For example, the distincti
