  3. Re:TCL????? on The Year in Scripting Languages · · Score: 2

    Because people are different! And they
    think different!
    It's much easier for me to think in terms
    of commands , their arguments and strings
    than in terms of functions and procedures.
    I cannot really understand Perl code,
    but TCL is easy for me.

    Cryptic things like $_ in perl and enormous contexts are also really confusing.

    In python I was astonished by the
    requrement of strict tabbing. I am not a precious person and I found this requirement hard. But in other ways Python is great language, having a lot of libraries.

    Yes! Tcl is a great language NOW.
    it's about 3-5 times faster than it was 5 years ago and has a lot of new features.
    Tcl is a good language, especially
    when using its object-oriented [Incr TCL]
    extension.
    Not everybody like perl. Language is a matter of taste.

    Yes, but can I do manual alloc and free in that

  11. Re:Java sans VM? on The D Language Progresses · · Score: 1

    Looks promising... but
    On my opinion, garbage collection is generally bad, but probably it's because i spent a lot
    of time on projects in which real time was important...
    The language should allow both GC and non-GC
    style of programming.
    That's it. Then you'll be able to polish
    the critical real-time sections and turn off
    GC for them and leave GC for other parts
    for which the execution times are non-essential.

    Theoretically a distribution should contain
    all the stable contents of sf.net and freshmeat.net
    It should have a relatevily smart installer

    But I really like idea of LARGE distributions, not small ones.

  23. Re:upright wheelchair on My Segway HT "Month-iversary" · · Score: 1

    With the bicycle I found only 3 problems:
    1. Parking. How to park it at the office. Partial solution is to put it into basement of the building (no bicycle rails are provided at our building).
    For Segway this problem will arise too.
    2. Winter conditions. Nothing can really be done with that, but surely you'll be freezing while riding Segway much earlier than when riding a bicycle.
    3. Sweating and be able to get a good look before getting to the office. Hmm... Riding at a speed of Segway on a bicycle can partially solve this problem.
    For bicycle you need to eat more (which is not a problem), for Segway you need a dedicated socket
    which IS a problem.
