in a world of billions of living beings for whom those individual stories are surely no longer very significant

'I will call Yurick and DeLillo "epistemological" writers, in the sense that for both the central "problem" to be solved formally is this ineradicable tension between fragmented, private experience and the "scientific" explanation of the world. Both, in other words, eschew the facile and conventional ways of ignoring the problem and the tension: continuing to tell individual stories and destinies (boy meets girl, etc.) in a world of billions of living beings for whom those individual stories are surely no longer very significant; or illustratively and "sociologically" offering this or that individual destiny as though it could still "represent" or be "typical" or "characteristic" of social laws in general.'

- Fredric Jameson, "The Names, and Richard A (review)"

雪浸染万千华光钟声塑佛龛
此去蒙尘饮乐宴
朱颜改怎不见窟画昔日璀璨
却醒来作壁上观

Fainted

The Hour of the Star

" ... had been the only really beautiful thing in her life. Wiping away her own tears she tried to sing what she heard. But her voice was as crude and out of tune as she was. When she heard it she started to cry. It was the first time she'd ever cried, she didn't know she had so much water in her eyes. She cried, blew her nose no longer know what she was crying about. She wasn't crying because of the life she led: because, never having led any other, she'd accepted that with her that was just the way things were. But I also think she was crying because, through the music, she might have guessed there were other ways of feeling, there were more delicate existences and even a certain luxury of soul... The plunge into the vastness of the musical world that didn't need to be understood."

"The second time they met a soft drizzle was falling that soaked them to the bone. Without even holding hands they walked in the rain that on M.'s face looked like flowing tears."

我好像独自站在那三尺红台

 

星月落

 

思索着 与谁说

星月落 落入世间

使得花败人断肠

多执着 惊鸿怎让人遗忘

It's a new year. For parts of the world that are in conflict: we bear witness to your suffering, and carry your pain.

Dot selection

 Koka is a function-oriented language where functions and data form the core of the language (in contrast to objects for example). In particular, the expression s.encode(3) does not select the encode method from the string object, but it is simply syntactic sugar for the function call encode(s,3) where s becomes the first argument. Similarly, c.int converts a character to an integer by calling int(c) (and both expressions are equivalent). The dot notation is intuïtive and quite convenient to chain multiple calls together, as in:

fun showit( s : string )
  s.encode(3).count.println

for example (where the body desugars as println(count(encode(s,3)))). An advantage of the dot notation as syntactic sugar for function calls is that it is easy to extend the ‘primitive’ methods of any data type: just write a new function that takes that type as its first argument. In most object-oriented languages one would need to add that method to the class definition itself which is not always possible if such class came as a library for example.

Minimal but General

Koka has a small core set of orthogonal, well-studied language features – but each of these is as general and composable as possible, such that we do not need further “special” extensions. Core features include first-class functions, a higher-rank impredicative polymorphic type- and effect system, algebraic data types, and effect handlers.
