                 Nothing much to see unless you're a programmer
                                        
It was a quiet day today and I spent it reading a series of articles on
programming [1]. The articles are mostly about topics that have yet to reach
the mainstream (although, given what Lisp looks like [2] in addition to some
other issues [3], I doubt Lisp will ever hit “mainstream”) and also provide
some of the most coherent explanations [4] I've seen for concepts like
continuations [5], closures [6] and currying [7].
