Looming (magazine)

Looming (English: Creation) is the oldest literary magazine in Estonia.[1]

History

The magazine was established in 1923 by the Estonian writer Friedebert Tuglas. Its purpose was the publication and popularization of Estonian contemporary literature. Virtually all known Estonian authors have contributed to the journal.

During the Soviet occupation of Estonia, Looming was controlled by the Writers' Union of the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic.

Currently, the publication of Looming is jointly funded by the Estonian Ministry of Culture, the State Kultuurkapital Foundation and the Estonian Writers' Union. The latter appoints the editor-in-chief of the magazine, who is responsible for the content. It is published monthly. The editorial office is based in Tallinn.

Editors-in-chief

The following persons have been editor-in-chief of the magazine:

gollark: Go makes basically *everything* more explicit and verbose compared to modern high level languages generally.
gollark: Go is very explicit about some things, but having verbosity everywhere cloaks what you actually want to do in vast amounts of boilerplate.
gollark: I would prefer some sort of parallel `map` function, but Go literally will not let you write one. With that, you could just do `urls.par_map(rss.fetch_feed)` (pseudorustaceocode) or something, thus skipping fiddly and problematic sync stuff and making your *intent* clearer.
gollark: I think they're overused and not actually very good synchronization primitives. Please explain how you would use them.
gollark: Really? Hmm. Explain.
