      Oh ... wow. I saw the site and thought "There is a developer who really cares about function, not form." Could be good! Then I followed a few links. And I thought "There is a developer who really doesn't care about presentation." The function could be really good! So I looked at a few documents. "Or documentation". :~ Then I lost the will to live. Have you considered updating your resumé?

        > 4C came about in 1986 when Dennis Noon and Kevin English decided that they needed a better tool for writing business applications. Machines were getting more powerful and customers were demanding more features. After searching and trying multiple tools that promised to solve this problem, they found that they kept running into the "Brick Wall Syndrome." Some of the tools were easy to use and easy to write simple programs with. Unfortunately none of them made the real hard problems easier. So, command line switches for the entire toolchain it is, then! > In fact with some of the tools, you just couldn't write complicated programs at all. Guess they haven't kept up with the times. They should try honey's template metaprogramming!

          In the history page the DNA something that uses that software/framework/whatever it is says "Programs are 90% self-documenting" so I guess you don't need documentation. Unless you need the missing 10% to solve your problem. Honestly, some of their other pages scary me more than missing documentation.

          The lack of bugs I can concede that they are brilliant at their jobs. But the last security update seems outdated. A lot has happen security wise since 2013. I agree with you. That site is depressing. Somebody hide all the knives ;P

            It doesn't even show the slightest prospect of beginning well!
