The "everything is a string" mantra Will be back!?! The Millenial programmer will try to comment out a line of code while the TCL interpreter Will insists that is a validade code...

Come on guys, let some technologies dies peacefully, Ok? We don't want those days back :)

I like P6 syntax and semantic more them P5.

My only one problem about P6 is the fact they dropped the effort of having the specification so others can implement the language too. Looks like they prefer a conformance test instead of a formal/complete specification.

While that is perfect fine, I would say having both the test and the spec is even better, for those trying to learn and implement the language.

A good, formal and complete specification will make my learning process much better, IMHO.

Two Weeks of Rust 11 years ago

In 2016 I would like to see a Rust frontend for GCC, with LTO support and all the list of target backends GCC support.

I am using Debian as my main desktop (laptop in this case) for the last 8 years... sure I am not the only one.

I have suspend/hibernate, great Gnome experience, no issues to run presentations or use public printers, really stable and very fast experience, and I did not configure any system aspect to make it work, just installed the distribution and that works out of box.

Well, I am very happy with Linux desktop. Just presenting a contra-example :)
