        Hey there, yeah I can upload it.
        Check your "shared with you" items in a couple of hours [Soren will share you the link].

        Leroy, just out of curiosity, the scene Leroy?

          Yes, that would be me. And you would be Aasemoon, the kick-arse coder who likes to code the most sophisticated code in the most unpopular (absurd even) of languages. :-)

          Yes, I have seen your work. *takes hat off and bows*

            Well, Sir Leroy, thanks for the compliment. But please do tell, since when an unpopular programming language is an absurd programming language?

              Not all, but most! I mean J#? Pliant? D? Come on!

                D is almost mainstream.

                I'm not going to put up the biggest fight for J#, but exactly how did you come up with the conclusion that Pliant or D are absurd? How many languages do you know of to be as flexible and transformable as Pliant?

                  What's good about Pliant?

                  Don't know it.

                  But if it is both dynamic and yet as fast as many C programs, then it sounds interesting...

                    What's good about Pliant...well everything! =) Ok to be more serious, and very general, Pliant is like sculpting clay. It can take whatever shape you want it to. It's very simple to learn and use [one of my profs was actually trying to get universities to teach Pliant to their comp-sci / engineering frosh instead of C]. It's a lot less glue work [i.e. half the ASP you ever code is Jave/VB Scrip... not with Pliant] which again makes it a lot less confusing for the masses IFF at some point it gets recognized by the masses and.... see this:

                  Yes ok but what is the point when nobody is using it? There has to be a reason it never went mainstream, and no, D is not mainstream either.

                    You know, mainstream has used a lot of crap through the times. That doesn't make that crap good, it makes it popular crap.

                    Mainstream crap is getting less and less crappy, but mainstream adapts slowly...

                    Bent said it. [Are you sure mainstream crap is getting less and less crappy though?]

                    Also, since when mainstream = good?

                    Also, Pliant never got popular because it had a lot of prerequisites and meant a lot of change. Nobody likes change, and pliant wasn't marketed nearly as good as it should have been to overcome all the fuss.

                      See my point isn't to go on a battle with you over Pliant or D, the general point was that you have a nag for unpopular AND absurd languages. You would beat Farbrausch at it if you were doing just OpenGL instead of all that. I'm talking about the whole long list of odd languages, and you know it's a long list. Haskell? Lisp? That VHDL thang which I've never even heard of! ASM? And I read in your Programming twine that you're now learning Smalltalk?

                        Oh Jeez Leroy! Now you've gone and made a seriously messy mix of everything. I don't even know where to start fixing this...

                        What are we discussing here? Your lack of appreciation for low-level coding? Dude, I realize you're a game coder and most probably you started programming with high-level eye-candy. I know that most strict high-level coders have not much appreciation for low-level anyway, but I believe a large part of that comes from the fact that you don't know what you're missing!! [i.e. C: Eat This; | ASM: Move your hand with this speed to this direction, pick up this food with these combination of fingers, put it in your mouth and chew it this many times before swallowing!]

                        Plus what about the usages? You can't just compare everything with everything! I'm not a game coder man, OpenGL isn't my priority, I'm an engineer, I need to code for microchips more often than anything else, what do you suggest me to use other than ASM? C# perhaps?? And by the way, VHDL really doesn't belong to this discussion... it's completely different class, hardware coding tool / language.

                        Look, Leroy, make your point if you have one but reading my CV from somewhere [Where btw????] and throwing it's elements at me isn't the best idea. I've been coding for a long while, I've given a lot of things a try based on my need at each moment, and _again_, each one of these languages has it's own use in it's correct place.

                        Also, I have no interest in beating anyone in anything. I'm getting the feeling that I actually know where you're going with this [or perhaps where you started from], but I'm not interested as I've mentioned before, many times. When I have the time and the interest I will code more eye-candy.....

                          True, perhaps I did start programming with high level, and perhaps I don't know how and from where you started programming and perhaps there's an inevitable difference of views regarding what programming language is absurd and what not.
                          As I said and as you know it is a very long list, and because I haven't got a clue about many of these, perhaps I'm not bringing the right examples. But I know that in any case you are not going to be working on may supreme projects using languages that no one has ever heard of, like Smalltalk that you are learning now or ada or hex. So I suppose my point is simple, don't waste your time.

                            I don't know "hex". I know of a "haXe", but I have nothing to do with it. If I'm reading about something doesn't mean I "know" it.
                            Smalltalk... guess why I'm learning it. Because actually I AM about to work on a nifty project using it.
                            Everything else has a use too.

                            And thanks for your concern but I am not wasting my time.

      Mixing SIRadio and "absurd" languages... groovy =P

      In any case, in order for SIRadio to come true, I've had to code stuff in php, mysql, tcl/tk and PAL
