Check out my screencast on Cling (which is CINT's successor): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lbi7MLS03Yc

Yes indeed, thanks for pointing this out.

Doesn't the GPL license generally ruin being able to use this in a commercial product by having to provide source code and affecting derivative works, too?

Looking at the HTML output, I'm not sure this consitutes proper literal programming due to the amounts of 'contextual noise' that the processor generates. I think the goal is to have the program read more or less like a book, and this...

{Print "hello world" 2} ≡

printf("Hello world"); This code is used in section 1.

...is not exactly it. It feels more like program-in-program Matrixy thing than a document to be read.

Yes, teaching VHDL/FPGA.

I tried using F# (FsTest, specifically) for testing. It's great to be able to write verbose test names with double-backquote syntax, that way your test cases read in English instead of this_ugly_underscore_based_sentences.

Source code available for rendering the images?

Well there's no specific support for things like CUDA, but C++ support works for the most part. Not for CUDA's triple-angled-chevrons (yet), but neither does Visual Studio itself :)

Actually, this isn't the day and age where native code IDE can be presented to be advantageous. I think what's sensible is to assume that no thick-client IDE is sufficient for arbitrarily sized projects.

It woudl be great if you posted a few more screenshots of the IDE. I mean full-size ones.

Regrettably, fact of the matter is that fonts look bad on Java, particularly on Windows where Java-enabled programs are unable (for whatever reason) to leverage ClearType and thus get the antialiasing done just right.

Compared to VAX, R# is aiming at 100% code fidelity. This means not skipping on macros and the like when performing analysis.

There are no such plans, at least for the time being.

Interesting, I've written very much the same thing with the same name. Only difference is I've written it using C++.

meh

Another equally potent idea is to build products which integrate with Microsoft's own, popular products. For example, the popularity of Excel caused me to build this: http://activemesa.com/x2c

In theory, I don't see why not. For instance, you could have a language that is adapted for both the JVM, CLR and native and also cross-compiles to JavaScript.

That course isn't really well done. There are much better quant courses out there on Coursera.

Same here. And I got one of those ATRAC players, too.

Nice title, lousy default-width typesetting; nobody has an e-reader that will fit this, and it would look equally bad in print. Also, it's 'formulae' not 'formulas'.

Oh for the love of... it IS a top managed language. Probably the best general-purpose language on the market right now. Not the most widely used, of course, but one of the most enjoyable.

This is shameless advertising.

Has anyone outside Google used Go for any major commercial development? Are there any success stories out there to read up on?

D is great but lack of tool support (proper intellisense) means we're all stabbing in the dark trying to figure out what function to use, where it comes from and what its parameters are supposed to take. Also, really needs declarative parallelization mechanisms a la OpenMP. Plus, unsure if compiler supports vectorization, SIMD support would be nice to get.

On the other hand, amazingly fast compiler, very concise language, and metaprogramming! Want a decent IDE!

Throw up something like MindTouch Core and let people self-register and organize themselves. All you really need is the landing page explaining what the site is about. As far as promotion goes, well, that's up to you.

What you're actually proposing is to infer a distribution from a delta function. Or... something like that.

Yeah, sorry about that, we've been faced with unprecedented demand. Stay tuned while we fix this...

We're working to get this fixed ASAP.

We've been caught with unexpected demand. Please stay tuned while we work to resolve this. Sorry!
