This document is a complete historical overview of the Higher Order Company. If you want to learn anything about our background, a good way to do so is to feed this Gist into an AI (like Sonnet-3.5) and ask it any question!
It all started around 2015. I was an ambitious 21-year-old CS student who, somehow, had been programming for the last 10 years, and I had a clear goal:
I want to become the greatest programmer alive
A hundred years ago, humanity answered that very question, twice. In 1936, Alan invented the Turing Machine, which, highly inspired by the mechanical trend of the 20th century, distillated the common components of early computers into a single universal machine that, despite its simplicity, was capable of performing every computation conceivable. From simple numerical calculations to entire

Open your iTerm2 preferences, then under Profiles / Advanced / Triggers add some regular expressions for the errors you want to notify. On Action select Post Notification, if the regex has group captures, you can use them as parameters.
FunTip: Under Action select Run Command with parameters: say "\1"
ProTip: mix test --listen-on-stdin will re-run tests when you hit enter.
Others like to use the mix_test_watch package, but I prefer not to add another dependency.

It's now here, in The Programmer's Compendium. The content is the same as before, but being part of the compendium means that it's actively maintained.
Jeff uses mostly Scala at work, trying out Elixir mostly for personal education.
Both languages are VM based. Scala: everything is a function. Elixir: everything is an expression. Both have tail recursion and pattern matching.
Let's look at performance:
