There are thousands of programming languages.

The purpose of a programming language is to express programs. The
purpose of learning programming languages is to build up a toolbox for
reasoning about and synthesizing programs in any one given language.

There are diminishing returns on learning programming languages, and
time is scarce.

Therefore one must select between programming languages to study.

A good selection of languages has both
+ breadth
  + satisfies a number of real world economic needs.
+ focus
  + exploits similarity between languages and incremental learning.
  + some unifying basis

A good member of a particular selection meets a number of the
following criteria:
+ Satisfies one particular school of thought on programming languages.
+ Significant difference from predecessors
+ Significant influence on successors
+ Economically significant
+ Advanced i.e. no direct, established and proven heir.
+ A good language.
  + Easy to express programs with
  + Easy to read programs expressed with
  + Easy to reason about programms expressed with

No one of these criteria are sufficient or even necessary conditions.

A bad member satisfies the opposite criteria.

MYTHICAL MAN MOTH

FIRE FUCKING EVERYBODY

When calling this:

std::thread(create_session, server_numOfThreads, std::move(server_socket));

I get error:
error C2248: 'boost::asio::basic_io_object<SocketService,true>::basic_io_object' : cannot access private member declared in class 'boost::asio::basic_io_object<SocketService,true>'

From googling I found, that MSVC version of boost had bug with not defining BOOST_ASIO_HAS_MOVE properly, but after defining it explicitly i still can't move the socket object.

Any ideas?

What is it? Why is it so leet? Why do I need to use it for IO?

Welcome to Perl 6

Hi, my name is Camelia. I'm the spokesbug for Perl 6, the spunky little sister of Perl 5. Like her world-famous big sister, Perl 6 intends to carry forward the high ideals of the Perl community. Perl 6 is currently being developed by a team of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers. You can help too. The only requirement is that you know how to be nice to all kinds of people (and butterflies).

Perl 6 is the imouto; so kawaii! I can't wait to find a problem where Perl would be useful so I can use it.

I want to make a rude, sassy, clever, socially awkward AI!
