The angle and position of the transducer would make them leveragable by future VR headsets.

Could this be implemented in Rust or Clojure?

Does Anglican kind of do this?

I want a link to the GitHub for this[0] which he linked to. Makes Prolog quite interesting.

FP is great but not necessarily at all costs.

OCaml is immediate by default instead of lazy, and allows imperative code with side-effects. Both escape hatches from the pure FP world.

So, performance is easier to reason about and you can interact with your side-effecty real world stuff without having to reorganize your whole program around the correct monad.

Most of the time you want your loops to be higher order functions but once in awhile you want to just build a vector from a for loop. OCaml let's you do it without it being a whole intervention.

What about Haskell STM versus OCaml Multicore Eio?

The author was not only a longtime CIA employee, but staff historian. Not the most trustworthy source here.

Well I assume the NSA is competent, not sure about CIA.

A good article that is critical of the previous book by Weiner ("Legacy of Ashes") is this article[0].

Here is a quote from it: "A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist has distorted what was said, why it was said, when it was said, and the circumstances under which it was said—all to support his thesis that CIA has been a continuous failure from 1947 up to the present. Weiner’s use of the plural 'final gatherings' in the excerpt from his account suggests he knows what he is doing."
