Say goodbye to C++, Java and JavaScript

[PIEBALDconsult]

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 🌍.

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

"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

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

Long Live COBOL!

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.
