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…
> Something is wrong if most programs don't run instantaneously Agreed. BBC BASIC V on my Archimedes had zero startup penalties, unlike modern JIT languages. > Highly optimizing compilers aren't worth the risk Agreed.…
I recommend you keep a close eye on the work of the VPRI: http://www.vpri.org/pdf/tr2011004_steps11.pdf
Anything open to ambiguity can be resolved through dialogue.

I can recommend his book. The Search for the Perfect Language - Umberto Eco - 2010
Interesting research. Of course, you could always hack the Home button to act as a Command key and hold the device in landscape orientation without having to give up a piece of the screen.
do or do not where is no try catch exception
I think we will get there, but on a much longer timeframe.
I have a beard. Wish me luck with my new language.

Well that was amazingly well-written and informative...
That is so much shorter than what I posted on Derek Siver's site it is embarrassing: Born at the end of the '60s just before Christmas I was named after a saint. Later I found out that Santa Claus was largely invented…
> It's like Musicians saying Rhythm is stupid. I love that sentence. It makes me think Haskell is like Bartok.
Donald Knuth uses GOTO. It is perfectly safe if kept within a function: invoke a function, jump around like crazy inside it, exit to caller with return value. No problem.
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.
In July 2012, it was announced that active development on Fortress would cease after a brief winding-down period, citing complications with using Fortress's type system on existing virtual machines.…
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…
Although it could be classed as procrastination. What I ought to be doing is so incredibly dry that I need to give myself a break most of the time and only work on it when I feel inspired. Case in point, I am supposed…
When I read one of these Lifehackery blogs with a section that is entitled 'The Nap Month' it makes me feel that the author was procrastinating and trying to justify behaviour they felt guilty about. I have zero…
