Drugs, Kate Moss, and Intuitionistic Logic, fun thing: “Unfortunately, the law requires either a proof that she had been using a class A drug, or a proof that she had been using a class B drug. A proof that she had been using one or the other will not do. And hence Kate Moss cannot be prosecuted.”

A Technique for Implementing First-Class Continuations, by Joe Marshall. “The technique involves modifying procedures (or methods) such that they are able to co-operatively participate in the creation and use of first-class continuations. The transform differs from continuation-passing-style in that the call/return stack continues to be the primary mechanism for representing continuations; a heap representation of the continuation is only constructed when necessary. This may result in better performance than CPS-conversion for those programs that make only occasional use of first-class continuations.”
Lunatic Python is a two-way bridge between Python and Lua, allowing these languages to intercommunicate. Being two-way means that it allows Lua inside Python, Python inside Lua, Lua inside Python inside Lua, Python inside Lua inside Python, and so on.
