Copyright ByteDance? Ouch


Surely Spotify wouldn't be able to publish if it wasn't paying $100/year fee to Apple. I guess $100 is nothing to Apple.


I had a similar offer but I had a gut feeling it wasn't a good idea at the time and I feel somewhat vindicated by the comments in this thread.


Looks like the Guardian have already amended the temperature differences in the article in question according to the footnote: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/17/malawi-swelter...


It says 20C for me and I’m in the US/have everything set to US English. Is my browser telling it I prefer Celsius somehow (I do have the weather app on my phone set to Celsius) or did they change it to Celsius for everyone?


Looks great! What this now needs is a nice Web UI and also convince major players to adopt it. It would be in their interest to assure users that they can take their data with them (even though most people probably wouldn't).


Bob looks an awful lot like Bill Gates.


Melinda Gates was marketing manager, so maybe it was intentional.


So happy this is finally here! Been waiting months for this!!


Available for $12.95


My two pence: It’s not a very sexy name for a language compared to the competition.


I assumed it was an "objective" version of the S programming language[1], but it appears it is not.

Yep. Still working on it.

Suggestions?


General Purpose Language, since it is the world’s first general purpose language.


Arguably, it should be First General Purpose Language then. Might also help avoiding confusion if the implementation isn’t GPL.


I was also thinking of Architectural Programming Language, but APL..

Arches? Arch? (There was ArchJava, so there's a precedent).

ArchTalk?


Architecture Oriented Language, or just AOL for short.


Objective-C has objective because C itself is not objected oriented. Objective-Smalltalk would be redundant. How about StepTalk or SmallStep? to honor the NextStep heritage, you know.


Objective-See?

The tagline could be "Objective-See is like Objective-C without the C"



Marwel ;)


Hum Because it’s the ongoing humble of the background machines


Objective-Swift? :P


Dylan 2.0


BigTalk!


Definitively not that one!


Big agree! :)


Longtalk


It should be priced at the maximum value someone is willing to pay for it… and naturally in market economy it often will. The Artist needs to also make a living and not all of their artwork will sell at earth shattering prices. It seems just as arbitrary to limit the price of the item to a fraction of the value of a single item. I do wish more art was auctioned rather than come with a fixed price tag to make the market more fluid and less egotistical.
