@codewiz @srevinsaju - and the same logic also lead to COROUTINE - where rather than having a main routine which called subordinate routines, multiple routines would cooperate by passing control from one to another at appropriate points. Of course this does not map onto a simple stack call/return model and so was much less commonly implemented. #programming

@aljazeera Burt Bacharach dies - I saw him live in London with Joss Stone a few years ago. Classic concert, but the most amazing thing was that "Mr Easy Listening" also included an anti-Trump protest song!#music #bacharach

@alecui Don't know if you're aware, but #redis, one of the best-known no-sql database systems, started life as a Tcl prototype before being rewritten in C. The Redis command structure still looks very similar to Tcl.See https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/redis and https://gist.github.com/antirez/6ca04dd191bdb82aad9fb241013e88a8#tcl #tcltk

@aljazeera I used to make a point of winding-up scam callers. I've not had any for a while but if I did I would more inclined to feel sorry for them now. 📞

@profoundlynerdy @malcircuit #usenet could claim to be the original #fediverse - discussion groups hosted on a distributed network of independently-administered servers, no one corporation or institution in charge. Ok it has become infested with spam, piracy and porn, but it's not so hard to filter these out. 🤔
