Amazon introduces Lambda

Like everything else in Perl, there's more than one way to do it.

In other words, "potentially all of them."

In Go,
use warnings;is a syntax error.

Umm, ok? We weren't taking about Go, but sure, whatever.

In Brainfuck, there is no such thing as syntax or error, every input is valid. There is, however, undefined behavior (like incrementing a number over 255). So it has all the best parts of C and Javascript.

Isn't a ] without accompanying [ illegal?

@accalia, feature request for this response by @BenBot

hmm.... i'll consider it. but of course @ben_lubar has to approve of the bot first...
-
@ben_lubot needs some friends.
-
i forgot about that guy. hows he doing these days?
-
Well, he was running on the computer that broke, so...
Actually, @PJH told me it was causing errors all the time so I stopped it.
-
huh.
was he on sockbot code or not? cause i got a bunch of bots there i could add him.... ;-)

HEY! The emoji survived quoting!
@disco... no, wait, that's actually working, I can't call it a bug! But... what... I'm confused now!

Is it weird that I saw this image before I knew about the meme?

Not really, my wife is a big fan of Hyperbole and a Half. Partly because the dogs are similar to ours.

I can't believe I missed this topic. Oh, well, I guess I'll have to make a bad joke about it, then:
A Method for Providing Remote Access to S-exprs, or, .Net Considered Harmful, or, Lambda, The Ultimate Cloud Host by Guy Lewis Steele, Jr., 20 August 2013Filed under: seminal theses FTW!

8 posts were split to a new topic: Discofont hijinks

Well, sure, but you could say that about 99.9999% of what is posted on WTDWTF. [size=5]Including everything you've ever posted[/size]
And I'm disappointed that no one has sporked me for the Scheme joke yet, or the discoMancy.

a.k.a. the functionality Microsoft Azure had on day one:
Except you have to use Linux hosts. Except you have to write your function in Node.js. Except Node.js don't do shit, so you basically are screwed on any tasks that require any actually processing.

I am so tired of these neckbearded hipsters and their 'JavaScript ecosystem' (that change by the week on what is 'in' and what is 'out'). Especially, Angular, React, and Node.js -- which can die in a fire.JavaScript WAS NEVER MEANT to be a full language. It was a markup language HELPER! When it was introduced it was being used for rollover effects, and littering the tray with scrolling marquee nonsense. It was DELIBERATELY written to be an HTML helper language to make the static pages more interactive! It was never written or intended to be an Enterprise-level language that businesses run on!
Running JavaScript on the server, as an actual 'backend' is just mind-numbingly short sighted. HTML5, I am fine with. CSS3 I am fine with. Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby -- all good. JavaScript being used for WHAT IT WAS INTENDED TO BE USED FOR, also fine. But this, THIS crap ... I just ... I can't even...

Dude, the guy's fine with CSS. Obviously he has a few screws loose.
That said, I like JavaScript and I agree it's a terrible language for application development. Which is fine, because it wasn't designed to be a language for application development. Using JavaScript to write a big application is like using Lua to write Photoshop.

Ah yes, Lua. The language that's designed to be not playing with a full deck (because the environment it's embedded in is supposed to add stuff in).

A.k.a. ALSO THE EXACT IDEA BEHIND JAVASCRIPT!

This. So much this.

I don't recall setting a gender in my profile, but OK, I can roll with that.
As for CSS, I use it to get a job done, but I am indeed fine with it, because (as far as I know), nobody is trying to use it to write full-scale Enterprise applications with, outside of the role it was written to fulfill. Just as I am fine with JavaScript being used in the limited role it was written to fulfill. I will become less fine with CSS if the hipsters get a hold of it, and start convincing people that they need to be writing some Enterprise-level application with it >_<

You mean this one?
A Method for Providing Remote Access to S-exprs,

by Guy Lewis Steele, Jr., 20 August 2013You might get a chuckle over at comp.lang.lisp, assuming they haven't all killfiled you.

But seriously, the idea behind Lambda (and Azure) is good.
With forms of computation changing so quickly, programs are going to have to as modular as they can be, so the backend can run on the cloud, on the local device, or on a different networked device (the "local cloud" as some would call it) as needed.
