Erlang was designed for agent-style concurrency; not for massive data parallelism."

... learning one paradigm can impede the learning of another, I believe this is only true for your first paradigm shift. Once you realise there are lots of paradigms out there, I think you go out of your way to learn more about them and to avoid becoming stuck in a rut (e.g. procedural in the 1980s, object oriented in the 1990s and functional in the 2000s). -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/?u

...of C#. I believe there is substantial room for improvement with a new language and implementation following similar lines but combining the benefits of OCaml and F#, e.g. structural typing from OCaml and operator overloading from F#. I would very much like to persue this but it is a lot of work and I do not currently have the time to do it all myself... -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/?u

As if. I suspect the only reason the feds haven't ostentatiously popped him and frog-marched him is because they are right now actively squeezing him to get him to 'fess up to how far up the dummycrat chain this all goes.

.... 39 Two evolutionist paleontologists, Colbert and Morales, comment on the three basic classes of amphibians-frogs, salamanders, and caecilians: There is no evidence of any Paleozoic amphibians combining the characteristics that would be expected in a single common ancestor. The oldest known frogs, salamanders, and caecilians are very similar to their living descendants.40 Until about fifty years ago, ...

...'em already.  Saw 'em on Discovery Channel. We call them "amphibians", usually. It's a long way from fish to reptile. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibian Amphibians (class Amphibia), such as frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and gymnophiona, are cold-blooded animals that metamorphose from a juvenile, water-breathing form to an adult, air-breathing form. Looks like it happens in one step, one generation, one lifetime.

... to the theory of evolution, because this mechanism can never increase or improve the genetic information of a species. Neither can it transform one species into another: a starfish into a fish, a fish into a frog, a frog into a crocodile, or a crocodile into a bird.
