This author is a treasure. I've been planning on reading his book on Klong (array language like J, K, and APL) for awhile now.<p>I absolutely love the minimalist website design which reminds me of Zork and old terminals.
Started reading the sample text but as soon as I read <i>abstract machine</i> it was all over: we have suffered far too much and far too long under inefficiencies and distribution nightmares of abstract machines like that of Java, .NET or Python: if I cannot compile it straight to a machine code executable, I want nothing to do with it. Intermediate representation: just say no.
