Haskell's use of Maybe and Just. Maybe a is a type constructor that returns a type of Just a, but Maybe Int won't accept just an Int, it requires it to be a Just Int or Nothing. So in essence in haskell parlance Just Int is about as much of an Int as an apple is an orange. The only connection is that Just 5 returns a type of Maybe Interger, which can be constructed with the function Just and an Integer argument. This makes sense but is about as hard to explain as it can theoretically be, which is the purpose of haskell right? So is Just really JustKindaLikeButNotAtAll yea sorta, and is Maybe really a KindaLooksLikeOrIsNothing, yea sorta again.

-- Create a function that returns a Maybe Int, and return a 5, which know is definitly Int'able
>  let x :: Maybe Int; x = 5;
<interactive>:1:24:
    No instance for (Num (Maybe Int))
      arising from the literal `5' at <interactive>:1:24
    Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Num (Maybe Int))
    In the expression: 5
    In the definition of `x': x = 5

>  Just 5  
Just 5
it :: Maybe Integer

    -- Create a function x which takes an Int
>  let x :: Int -> Int; x _ = 0;
x :: Int -> Int
-- Try to give it a Just Int
>  x $ Just 5                   

<interactive>:1:4:
    Couldn't match expected type `Int' against inferred type `Maybe t'
    In the second argument of `($)', namely `Just 5'
    In the expression: x $ Just 5
    In the definition of `it': it = x $ Just 5

祝你好运读到这篇文章，我希望它是正确的。

下面是一个关于python的例子:

>>> print 07
7
>>> print 08
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    print 08
           ^
SyntaxError: invalid token

那不是很美吗?

尤其当你想到人类是如何写日期的时候，你会觉得很不周到，这有以下影响:

datetime.date(2010,02,07) # ok
datetime.date(2010,02,08) # error!

(原因是0x被解释为八进制，所以打印010打印8!)

在Python中:

>>> a[0] = "hello"
NameError: name 'a' is not defined
>>> a[0:] = "hello"
NameError: name 'a' is not defined
>>> a = []
>>> a[0] = "hello"
IndexError: list assignment index out of range
>>> a[0:] = "hello"
>>> a
['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']

这些切片分配也会给出相同的结果:

a[:] = "hello"
a[42:] = "hello"
a[:33] = "hello"

Powerbasic (www.powerbasic.com)包含编译器指令:

# BLOAT {bloatsize}

这将使编译后的可执行文件的大小增加<bloatsize>字节。这是放在编译器中，以防创建可执行文件的人不喜欢生成的可执行文件的小尺寸。它使EXE看起来更大，以与臃肿的编程语言竞争:)

在Common Lisp中，零维数组是很奇怪的，而且很自然地，它们具有读取语法。

? (aref #0A5)
5

JavaScript八进制转换“特性”是一个很好的了解:

parseInt('06') // 6
parseInt('07') // 7
parseInt('08') // 0
parseInt('09') // 0
parseInt('10') // 10
