I really find it bizarre that a "baktun" is 144,000 days, the same # as the # of people that Jehovah Witnesses say will go to heaven. :~ Marc

Its a shame you didn't read this[^].

Signature construction in progress. Sorry for the inconvenience.

So what language do you like. I would have looked forward to JavaScript and HTML dying.

What is wrong with these technologies? They enabled you to be here.

A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God

HTML was designed to display documents on the web, and has been added to many times to try to make it work. However, it would be much better to be replaced with a new concept, more like SilverLight or WPF. More to the point, I resent that XML does not allow commented code in the middle, or to contain other comments. That really sucks. Then Javascript was not designed to play well withing XML (should not allow characters in a language that is suppose to be embedded in HTML that are not compatible with HTML). Have you ever heard of the book, JavaScript: The Good Parts, must be some bad parts, right. Would have been better to have a language that, if it looks like C, it should play like C, not something different.

No, I'm still sitting at my desk. Anyway, no matter who's fault it may be, HTML fails miserably at being a generic layouting language. No matter which ones are right and which ones are wrong, browsers fail miserably at being generic client programs. And the idea to embed client side logic in the HTML and them use one of the ugliest improvised interpreted languages that ever existed to implement that logic is the worst possible choice. Whenever I can I just throw all three out the window. A client application with a webservice usually gets the job done better, faster and with far less limitations than webpages.

At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

I just heard it in the radio. The world will be amazed when they find out that this one was ending 2009...

I would very easily beleive that that is worse. I thought APL was both a horror and great. Probably just as well it is dead.

I heard this months ago.

And by that argument, C++ allows those technologies to run. WRT JavaScript, I submit... JavaScript - what's wrong[^]

HTML was designed from the start to be primarily for semantic markup, not for layout.

APL is not dead and it's not really a horror any more, either (like all languages it's evolved through time), unless you're allergic to brevity and elegance.
