SmartEiffel 1.0 Released
Per Wigren writes "Today SmartEiffel, the GNU Eiffel-compiler finally reached 1.0! Eiffel is a very underrated language in the free software community for some strange reason.. Hopefully this will help to gain some interest in this extremely powerful, fast, easy-to-read, easy-to-learn, almost self-debugging language!"
an implementatation of the towers of hanoi in eiffel? is it free (as in liberty?)
"easy-to-read, easy-to-learn" ... and you think people who prefer perl obviscated code would really buy into something with these sorts of (negative) attributes?

These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
You forgot the "HUH...Good God, y'all!"
Yeah, I don't understand the popularity of screwdrivers... Why can't we all just get along and use hammers for getting screws installed, TVs fixed and kids disciplined! Why waste time and resources on developing and learning how to use multiple tools?

Well, the French might not be cowards, but according to a recent study they have less sex than any other Western European country. Certainly doesn't do wonders for their reputation as lovers.
Guess that's a load of hooey too.

My god carries a hammer. Your god died nailed to a tree. Any questions?

Damn, people, can the collective musicians of the world *please* pick some sort of "standard" genre (or at least a very small set of musical styles, like perhaps rap, rock, and r&b)?
I personally like rock. I consider myself fairly good at it. But honestly, I don't care if we decide "Everyone must listen in rock". Just *some* sort of standard. I'll listen to it, and feel happy to "waste" a year listening to it, just to never have to listen another "fad" genre.
I see people asking why polka doesn't have more popularity - Why? I can answer that *really* simply. Because we already have too-damn-many musical styles to choose from!
Yes, a *FEW* choices make sense, because not every style has the same strengths and weaknesses. But really, how many people research all 250+ "major" existing genres to determine the best for each and every song they write? No one. People pick a style that has a lot of general-purpose power and flexibility, and *ONLY* deviate when their first choice literally cannot accomplish the task at hand.
Put out efforts toward making a few bands truly great, not having a huge number of mediocre bands.
Sometimes you people scare me, seriously. You have nothing without diversity.
