Perl 6 and Duke Nukem Forever are the geriatric poster children of vaporware, and always will be, even after they finally shipped. Being able to pick up a turd floating in a urinal does not in any way deliver on all the broken promises, reh

This depressing problem requires a crazy solution. Rewrite Python 3 in JavaScript so it runs on V8, and can interoperate with JS code. ;)

The more important question of whether or not systems like C++ and X-Windows cause actual permanent brain damage in humans, will have to wait for the autopsies of human brain doners. That won't be soon, since they're still only i

In his '90 Usenix presentation, Dennis Ritchie reminded the audience that Steve Jobs stood at the same podium a few years back and announced that X-windows was brain-dead and would soon die. "He was half-right. Sometimes when you

We all get it that you think very highly of yourself, and belittling Glenn without actually having listened to his talk reinforces your feeling of superiority, but we don't care, so why don't you keep it to yourself?

When you're irrational and superstitious, it's easy to believe you're down on your luck, when actually it's not luck. You're down on the consequences of your own actions. Luck has nothing to do with it.

So do you actually think that climate change denial and the rejection of evolution is not correlated with religious believe, or membership in the Republican party?

You certainly are blind to how ridiculous your own superstitious religious beliefs are, even though you can clearly see that people who don't believe your religion are wrong. Has it ever occurred to you that your religion is just as fo

The wrong people have been drunkenly driving Emacs into the ditch for the past decade or so, and they're really screwed it up in so many ways, usually trying to be way too clever and solve problems that really aren't worth solving

So my post with links to articles about what he actually did and said is ridiculous and awful, but nothing Scott Adams has ever done or said is ridiculous and awful? And what's so ridiculous and awful about linking to Scott Adam's

And there are MUCH better causes for YOU to devote yourself to than the Sysiphian task of carrying Scott Adam's douchebag water. Nobody had mentioned what a douchebag he is yet, so it's a valid and relevant point to raise. And pos

Foolish stuff like posing as his biggest fan on message boards to say how brilliant he is and how stupid everyone else is for not seeing that? "If an idiot and a genius disagree, the idiot generally thinks the genius is wrong. He also

Lisp's syntax is the easiest thing about it to understand. In fact, Lisp's syntax is so easy to understand, that even Lisp can understand its own syntax.

How would a language's support for garbage collection make it any harder to compile a non-garbage-collected language into it? Why would you think that?
