Nice.
There are new languages all the time. Wired wrote a small piece: looked interesting; didn't recall D before that. Oh well: another waste of time. Stick to the money makers.

According to the original BCPL sequence, the next big programming language should be P. (try saying P++ several times fast)

An acquaintance of mine keeps trying it (and Go) at least one a year before getting fed up with one thing or another and going back to Python.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

D is not a very good grade.
C is better and C++ even better.

A for Assemble on a BBC Micro, but have now sliped down to a grade B. (B for Basic) or is it a grade VB (Visual Basic)

"bet he doesn't have the guts to do that again"
My son told it to me, blame him!
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

My son's version was:
Q: What's the last thing tht goes through a fly's mind as it hits your windscreen (windshield for foreigners)?
A: Its a***hole (a**hole for foreigners).

He was preordered this way.

Can anyone tell me the difference between pre-ordering something and ordering it?
|
|
|
|
|
I think pre-order refers to ordering a product before it is launched in the market and generally available. More like reserving it.
|
|
|
|
|
There was a lengthy discussion about it on here some time ago when someone else objected to the term, but I can't find it at the moment.

Pre-order is when you order it before it's actually available for shipping. Most of the times you save some money, as pre-order price is lower than normal.
This approach used to increase sell...
