Walter also talks so confidently about CS degrees, without having earned one. The experiences probably stem from his caltech times with the smelly bearded hippie unix guys who wrote bubble sorts in some deprecated assembler dialect. This is becoming a real problem. I gave an example of Scala fairly recently. I've given examples of code in other languages earlier. So has bearophile. I can't ever assume that you guys study these basics. The discussion stays at this level. It takes enormous amount of effort to teach simple concepts. How many knows now what a monad is? It was discussed again recently.
