How Erlang Makes Event-Driven Code Easy →
“In C, Java, Python, or Ruby, the main thread would have been blocked. In Erlang, the “process” politely stops and the VM finds another process to run.”

Attention and Intelligence →
In other words, delayed gratification isn’t really about gritting our teeth or exerting willpower: it’s about controlling the spotlight of attention. Likewise, intelligence isn’t just about remembering abstract facts - it’s about controlling what thoughts we’re thinking about in the first place.

With these foundations, the mathematical universe of objects one studies contains not only the “primitive” mathematical objects such as numbers and points, but also sets of these objects, sets of sets of objects, and so forth.
