Wow. Seems like I will never stop learning new things about Lua.

This isn’t Lua code, Lua requires commas as separators for table items.

EDIT: Retracted, it seems like Lua allows this madness

I hope it’s going to be used instead of machine learning. Seems much more correct, secure and efficient to me.

I doubt TCP/UDP or basic HTTP requests will change much, but I guess it depends on how high-level the API is.

Interesting, that definitely makes sense!

Actually, I like encapsulating global state in a structured and documented construct. But I guess I could see Java developers going overboard with abstraction in an imperative language.

I’ve recently come to appreciate the “refactor the code while you write it” and “keep possible future changes in mind” ideas more and more. I think it really increases the probability that the system can live on instead of becoming obsolete.

Actually one of the few languages you can learn in its completeness in less than a day, so I wouldn’t really say it’s “hard to understand”. More like hard to read and understands programs written in it.

Interesting viewpoint, but I think the applications aren’t at fault: The operating system should ensure that the user has control of the computer at all times. I think you need to do three things to achieve that:

1. Limit process RAM usage, so the system never has to swap
2. Limit process CPU usage, so the system never stalls
3. When drivers / the operating itself crash, revert into a usable state (this one is probably the most complex one)

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

If you know it will break, try to see how to reduce the damages.

Props for actually answering the question, and with a reasonable language too. Although Forth hasn’t clicked for me personally, and I doubt it’s a better choice for OP, it’s still a unique language design and worth studying.

The whole list:
