Say goodbye to C++, Java and JavaScript

Nah, we're all going to move to Scratch - Imagine, Program, Share[^] - especially useful for embedded microcontrollers! :-D

My friend's kid is learning programming concepts (getting one's head in the right thinking patterns to solve problems logically) using Scratch, and also UIFlow for the M5 Stacks. I've never used them myself, but personally I think those things are great - particularly for children.

To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

I dream of a language which is written in XML, so comments can be better associated with code statements while not cluttering up the code itself -- they could be shown or hidden as necessary, even as tool tips if desired by whoever happens to be viewing the code. Indeed, one person could be viewing the high-level description of a process and then delve deeper into the actual code as needed, while another could be looking at the low-level implementation and then view the description to understand the intent of the code. Not holding my breath. :sigh:

Wrong. Just log on to good old ChatGPD, type "give me my codez please" and head to the pub. :)

long ago to my surprise 😲 i accidentally invented a language which for the application problem required but one statement . as for the details they are the problem i was attempting to solve was performed in the class constructor . so just one line of code and voila bingo presto problem solved .

I thought VB6 will eventually come back and take over the world 🌍.

[PIEBALDconsult]

I didn't think it had ever gone away.

Just make sure your tongue doesn't get in the way of the :beer: I just sent you.

To be fair, the entire language only has this one issue[^], which is a lot less than, say, ASP.NET Core[^] :D

How and Why someone make that trouble to complicate the things more than are right now?

Long Live COBOL!

Will Rogers never met me.

[trønderen]

Every time I see someone having regex problems, I exclaim: Long live Snobol! But I don't think a single one of my co-workers over the last 30 years has ever seen a Snobol program and know how to program it.

The put class into COBOL and run it in AWS lambdas so nothing is sacred.
