Getting the book is called "checking out", returning it is called "checking in".

Oh, I thought Git like checking-into the library (e.g. checking in hotel, airport) rather than getting a book from the library. A matter of different perspective.

English can be a strange language, and you shouldn't take technical terms too literally!

English is certainly strange, especially to the people like me if(native_language != English || who_thinks_more_logically).

:-D Really, I am using Fedora!

Preface: I am learning Git (since some years ;-), very slowly) and English is not my native language. So, I don't know that what I believe about 'check-in' and 'check-out' is correct in English or not. If I am in/on a Git branch, shouldn't it be called 'checked in branch' instead of 'checked out branch'? If I 'checkout' (from) a branch then shouldn't it actually get me out of that branch? And what is the command to 'get out from current branch'? Is it possible that I am not in/on any Git branch?

Wow! That's what I am talking about. It seems very much similar to my idea of a proper logical programming language. Thank you. :thumbsup:

x is assigned a added to 12

You wrote in English. It is like passive voice. Instead of "I have done this" you are writing "It has been done by me". If we write x = a + 12, it can be understood like this: (1) create a variable "x" (allocate memory), (2) add value of the variable "a" to 12 (store the sum somewhere in memory), (3) store the sum in variable "x". If we write a + 12 = x (OR a + 12 -> x), it can be understood like this: (1) add the value of variable "a" to 12 (store the sum somewhere in memory), (3) Create a variable "x" (allocate memory), (4) store the sum in variable "x". In the first approach, it is like - the system is allocating memory first without knowing the result. In the second approach, it is like - the system is first determining the result and then allocating memory according to the result. This second approach looks more logical way of executing and writing code. I think, the 1st approach is suitable to programming languages of .NET, C based, Java, etc. where variables needed to be defined before assigning values; while the 2nd approach is suitable for languages like JavaScript, PHP, etc. where variables can be defined/initialized anywhere in the code.

I am talking about computer programming language having more logical syntax while remaining fairly easy to understand for programmers.

It may not solve any problem. I presented my thought from logical view as programming is all about logic. I have already wrote that I know that there are already plenty of programming languages; I am not actually going to create any language. :)

If your argument is that Maths is it's own language, then it can also defined it's own read order (i.e. LtR), it doesn't matter where the numbers original came from and how they were originally read.

My concern is about programming, not about Maths. So, Maths can have its own read-write direction but in programming we can define what is logical - because programming is all about logic, isn't it?

I am not sure but the direction could have changed in last 100-400 years because of the influence of the western culture.

For the new language, I am thinking from programmers' perspective. The Reverse Polish Notation is good for computer but confusing for humans. Writing a + 12 = x and finding where the var is set - is looking confusing but we may find some solution(s), I haven't yet thought much about it yet. We may also find some unique way of defining variables which is not used in any programming language yet. The new proper LtR programming language idea came to mind to reduce code, faster parsing/compiling/execution, less code traversal. We may get used to the syntax if we practice more.

The numbers that we are using is the decimal numbers a.k.a. Arabic numerals. Here is the history of the numbers: Arabic numerals - Wikipedia[^]. The decimal numbers are called Arabic numbers because they were invented by Arabs (however Zero was invented in India, it is also part of Arabic numbers). So,

1 + 2 = 3

is a correct way in LtR while

3 = 1 + 2

is correct way according to RtL (Arabic, Hebew, etc. RtL languages, however this is now not used because of international Mathematics influence.)

Most of spoken languages are written LtR (Left-to-Right) but Maths, the number language, is actually written RtL because the decimal numbers are Arabic numerals. (I know, most will get surprised, but it's true about Maths RtL direction.) But somehow the RtL and LtR languages got mixed up. Instead of writing

x = a + 12

how about changing it to

a + 12 = x

So, what are your views on creating a new programming language which follows proper LtR execution? Is there already such language? (Please, just don't remind me that there are already lots of programming languages (I know already) and I must not (try to) create one more. :) )

I recommend using escrow. Talk with the customer about it and about installments.

I have requested on Ionic's Ionicons GitHub repository to add icon of Basket and/or Hamper. Instead of Cart icon, Basket or Hamper icon is more appropriate for food items in e-commerce. Request: New icon > Basket or Hamper · Issue #412 · driftyco/ionicons · GitHub So, please vote it up :thumbsup: if you are also agree. (BTW, (if you are not aware) Ionicons can be used in mobile as well as in web applications (and on desktop app too).)

Mozilla OS has arrived, based on only HTML, CSS and JavaScript. All native app development should be killed.

I really don't get some things here at CP and in some other forums where communication (comment/reply) is made by Americans. Americans use many of their own words/phrases and something which is only available/applicable/known to their country/people, and therefore people like me from India and other non-American countries/states don't get all of what Americans say. IMHO, you and all (non-American/American) people should try to communicate in a way that everyone can understand. :rose:

Ya, seriously, why should I even try to know the process of a non-veg food! Never-mind, leave it plz
