i tried this in lua but it appears to be stuck in an infinite loop

what does this even do?

It's called a Y-combinator. It's an infinite loop, but only in languages that are tail-call optimized. Otherwise it just crashes the stack.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the U combinator applied to itself.

irb(main):004:0> ->(x) { return x.call x }.call ->(x) { return x.call x }

SystemStackError: stack level too deep

    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb/workspace.rb:80

Maybe IRB bug!

This works though:



irb(main):005:0> def x

irb(main):006:1> x

irb(main):007:1> end

=> nil

irb(main):008:0> x

^C^C^C^C

end

exit

^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C

please respond

Hahaha, further proof that node.js is not worth your attention

Node.js is currently used by a number of large companies including Linkedin[8][9], Microsoft[10], Yahoo![11] and Walmart[12].

You know what these companies have in common? They are failing, their stocks are plummeting.

Javascript is shit
