I agree :)

Or Lisp and Haskell :)

Growing sure, but still extremely niche. I think a recent report showed ~15 open jobs worldwide. A lot of Haskell users learn it for intellectual curiosity rather than any expectation of actually using it at work.

Cosmic Crisps will supposedly not only taste amazing, but be cheaper than Honeycrisps as they're easier to manage and orchard owners are replacing red delicious as it is basically disgusting.

Julia can show s-expressions for an expression I think...sorta what you asked, but not really I know.

If you really want something like pandas + lisp then you probably need Common Lisp and have to dig for some libraries.

This is the greatest sarcastic comment I've seen all year. You nailed the Haskell zealot to a tee. Meanwhile the Forth zealot is getting IBS just hearing about the code complexity from Haskell and all the myriad of language extensions to make it closer to actual mathematics.

Don't get me wrong, Haskell is really really cool and some brilliant coders use it. One day I'll actually make it through Haskell book.

"@" is for an array variable or pulling something in array context. You can have variables declared with $, @, or % depending on whether it is a scalar, array, or hash structure.

I've been in hundreds of P6 conversations and it is always such a bummer to see that this is always the number 1 thing discussed. Not the merits of the language, not the grammars, or concurrency, MOP, functional and OO syntax, junctions, running multiple languages, gradual typing, restricting inputs with types, Unicode....none of that.

The fact that it is always brought up to me makes me think they should've just called it something entirely different. Hindsight is 20:20 though.

I've thought of both of these things before, but don't have the appetite for such a venture at the moment.

6 years since D2? Did you mean D3, or was there a re-make?

The impact from greenhouse gases is already either a factor in some power markets (which heavily use state of the art optimization and are among the hardest problems to solve when you look at the size versus the time it has to solve in) or planned to be included. It is indirectly there in all power markets as coal is currently becoming less and less economic.
