I believe they are saying the static type system and type checker provided by Rust helped them write complicated code.

He states some causes are good and some are bad.

There are also tentative plans to integrate core.typed with the Clojure compiler so type annotations can be used during compilation (e.g., type hints through inference).
There was a post about it, but the best I could find is a recent paper: http://frenchy64.github.io/papers/typed-clojure-draft.pdf

Closest thing to an answer I've found is from the licensing page:
https://www.reddit.com/wiki/licensing
But it doesn't specifically address collection and distribution of API results as a dataset.
(From the page:)
A licensing agreement is required in order to:
* use the reddit API for commercial purposes. Use of the API is considered "commercial" if you are earning money from it, including via in-app advertising or in-app purchases. Open source use is generally considered non-commercial.
* use the reddit alien logo ("snoo") in your app or for its thumbnail. Any new apps you create must be approved as well before usage. The circular "r" logo is reserved solely for use by reddit, Inc.
* allow users to subscribe to reddit gold via in-app purchases. If your platform allows for it, we encourage you to work with us to make this happen. We see gold purchases as a way for you to help reddit and to give back to the reddit community.

Just to clarify, this is _not_ a remote vulnerability. If it was a means to create a remote shell, then it would be. An attacker would need to first find some way to gain remote access and then could use this bug to gain root privilege.

What about Clojure seems dense or implicit to you? Clojure and Python have a similar feel to me. Both are well-designed in the sense they strive for a small set of primitives useful in solving a broad range of problems.

Instant feedback makes coding more tangible but can be harmful. One may get caught in an edit-eval cycle and spend time solving the wrong problem.
Regularly stepping back and reevaluating assumptions/goals helps. (And write supporting tests, if you swing that way.)

Meditation is more concentration than relaxation.

Thanks for writing the book! I first learned about it from here awhile back. It's extremely helpful to get an expert's take on the what and why of organizing game code.

To play devil's advocate, what if the impact of a teacher inspired a student who eventually came up with a billon-dollar idea?

Interesting that none of the methods in either short list are inherently probabilistic.

Piazza, a class discussion app, seems to have good adoption even at schools that use Blackboard. I'm hoping to do similar for homework collection with Classhand.
I expect a switch to a basic platform with apps like Piazza that offer tailored features/user experiences. Not unlike the Salesforce ecosystem. That may be Blackboard's future role.
