Food is fairly inexpensive as well

Really? I admit that this is anecdotal, but as an American when I studied abroad in Europe I was consistently pleasantly surprised by how much less expensive eating out was. In particular I felt like it was much more affordable to get healthier food at restaurants compared to the US, and also much cheaper to get alcohol drinks at restaurants. There were a few exceptions (Copenhagen, Paris) but even major cities like Rome, Munich, & Barcelona had pretty well priced restaurants (which included tip).

I really like this idea! I definitely think this product has some potential. A few quick questions:

1. Does this integrate with the filesystem (specifically with MacOS) or iCloud Drive? 2. Are there any future plans to integrate with iMessage? While perhaps less important to enterprises, I feel like this could be very useful for “prosumer” productivity tool users like myself. 3. Are there any future plans for a mobile app (specifically on iPhone).

I’m excited to try this product out. Congrats on your launch!!

Completely agree. Once I discovered Java Streams it became so much more frustrating for me to write Python code that manipulated collections in anything beyond the most trivial of operations.

Isn’t it a bit disingenuous to equivocate terrorism, which actively targets/kills innocent civilians, with DDOS attacks against services which are responsible for moral atrocities? Could it be compared to vigilante justice? Perhaps. But comparing it to terrorism is unfair, to put it mildly.

According to the website [1] there is a strict license to this programming language.

The License is intended for free learning and hobbyists and is a personal use license which means the Software may be installed and run only on Licensee computer as required for the purposes of Licensee’s code to produce a binary executable output (the “Executable Product”) only on Licensee-controlled Endpoint. An Endpoint is defined as a computer operating system (“OSE”) of any type physically hosted, but limited to Licensee’s internal personal use and not for distribution or any other use. For certainty, Licensee may not: distribute, assign, sell or grant any rights in or to the Software OR the binary executable product created by using the Software.

People of course can license the fruits of their labor however they wish to, I just can’t understand why someone would license their compiler in a way that prohibits me from sharing a useful program I made with my family or friends.
