Promises and monads are way different though. Promises are used for "simplifying" asynchronous coding in imperative languages, and monads are a general computational methodology towards writing syntactically imperative-looking code in purely functional languages, built on top of type-classes. Without understanding why Haskell is purely functional, you couldn't even understand the motivation behind monads. And sure, you can extend a javascript prototype (or any object) to do something monad like, but without all of Haskell's strictness, you'd miss the jest.

Was this written in a hurry? There's lot of spelling/grammar errors in the article.

Also Trump has already mentioned he's in favor of leaving the issue at the State level.

I can't believe I'm getting down-voted just because I'm not bullish on ANN.

As I said, in my humble opinion (IMHO), (and educated opinion) NN don't really have a lot of practical use. So long as they have to be processed in parallel, SVM will always have the advantage that they can be computed sequentially, meaning they can process much faster and without the need for specialized hardware. SVMs and ANN are solving the same problem in machine learning, they're both methods used for classifying data. Just SVMs do it much faster and within more practical means.

because of the irony.

The wikipedia definition is good: "Metaprogramming is the writing of computer programs with the ability to treat programs as their data. It means that a program could be designed to read, generate, analyse or transform other programs, and even modify itself while running."

In my own words, code that can read and write code (whether that's at compile time or run time).

oldy, but a goody!

I too would like to know how to install via brew.
