Programming languages and direction

Interesting articles currently being browsed:

• A roundup of responses [ via Lamba the Ultimate ] to the Beyond Java discussion (first seen at Sam Ruby's site)
• Coroutines were referenced in one of the above articles and are described poorly in Wikipedia (although I hessitate to edit), implemented with some elegance in C by Simon Tatham. I think I read about the C example on /. a few months back.
• Reddit rewritten with 100 lines of Lisp. Sexy.

There's a wealth of information and opinion on Java/Ruby/Perl/Python/etc. in the Java discussions.
