    I don't think it originated with him,. but it's certainly something he would have said! Pity he insisted on a contract clause limiting his shows to just one repeat - I'd love to see all his stuff again. Finest stand-up (or sit-down) comedian I have ever seen (or heard).

        Nice. There are new languages all the time. Wired wrote a small piece: looked interesting; didn't recall D before that. Oh well: another waste of time. Stick to the money makers.

            I was working on a new language called "C+++" but now "D" seems to have jumped ahead... I could rename it "E" I suppose... no, that's been done. Ok, "F" it is... er... "G"... "H"... Aha! "H" it is! I'd better call it H++ straight away before someone takes that.

            Hang on ... wouldn't H sound to close to being an evolution of Haskell? Especially H++?

              "D" was the next big thing back when I was in college learning "C", 14 years ago. Has something changed?

              Nope - it was lauded as the next big thing when I was at university as well - 30 years ago.

                According to the original BCPL sequence, the next big programming language should be P. (try saying P++ several times fast)

                  An acquaintance of mine keeps trying it (and Go) at least one a year before getting fed up with one thing or another and going back to Python.

                  Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                    If you plan to go, and enjoy blues music, going in early September might be a good idea: http://www.bluesinhell.no/[^] If you rather would like to see it freeze over, you might rather go in January. It is close to the fjord, and when weather is bad (extremely humid and ice cold), everything might be covered by half an inch of soldid ice Freezing over[^] You might have guessed that the name of the place does not mean the same in Norwegian as in English (it is related to "hill", but it is not as steep as a hill), but the guys up there sure puts a lot of effort marketing the place based on the English interpretation. The most popular Norwegian post cards of all times is the one from the railroad station, the cargo (or in Norwegian: gods) handling office, with a large sign declaring: "H*** Gods Expedition".

                      I already programmed in E. I don't know if it exists yet, but it existed in Amiga.

                      I was convinced that in US schools, you used A to D and F, no E. Has that changed?

                          I didn't study in US schools, as I am Brazilian. And I used E by myself when I was 12-14 years old.

                              D is not a very good grade. C is better and C++ even better. I don't want to bost but I once got an A. A for Assemble on a BBC Micro, but have now sliped down to a grade B. (B for Basic) or is it a grade VB (Visual Basic) :confused:
