I approve of case-sensitivity where an initial Capital letter indicates that Something is Publically accessible and it really doesn't matter what happens after that. Hence, we could have: Newton-Raphson Runge-Kutta…
I don't have a problem with "x - y" and approve of hyphenated names if you can't support spaces within names. I had initially jumped to the conclusion that your language would use a postfix notation and be more…

C functions are really procedures, except when they have no side effects on global variables. Indeed, a C function can be regarded as pure even if it contains imperative state changing code provided that all the mutable…
Wow. I didn't think this would be possible, but Notch has managed to top Minecraft. This is even duller than that borefest.

No Managing Director should earn more than the Prime Minister. £142,000 per annum - David Cameron Richard Branson earns that in a little over a week.
Well, I've written about thirty million words on the subject, but I don't think it will take me 12 years to implement an initial prototype, more like two and then several years for all the tools that I want to make with…
I just needed a hobby to keep me from getting bored and depressed. I had adapted a screenplay and made plans to write a novel, but my interest in programming had been sparked by an early exposure to Super Star Trek and…
