I thought this is not possible in python. Can someone explain ? Python doesn't have tail call optimization and hy produces python AST. Am I missing something ?

I tried reading through the source, but I am still a lisp noob. https://github.com/hylang/hy/blob/master/hy/contrib/loop.hy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSF82AwSDiU Have you seen this TED talk about porn addiction and how it has similar effects like some sort of hard drug addiction on the brain. Everything uses the same pipeline.

Is that the one which comes with a touch screen ? Have you tried using the touch screen ? And I have heard that the whole thing is very flimsy due to the carbon fibre build, what's your take on this ?

I love quoting RMS. "What schools should refuse to do is teach dependence. Those corporations offer free samples to schools for the same reason tobacco companies distribute free cigarettes to minors: to get children addicted. They will not give discounts to these students once they've grown up and graduated."

Surely this applies only if you consider chromebooks as free and this not true atleast by RMS standards.

My exact feelings, I did c++ in high school with some ancient borland c++ compiler. I always felt I don't know enough of c++ whenever I happen to go through some modern c++ source code. I just realized that is just the STL.
