Are you insinuating that Windows users are too stupid to use those languages (and use only rotten ones like V.B etc. ) ​​?

Please, be a minimum objective and constructive.

No Windows support, really ?!

Maybe Factor http://factorcode.org/ is what you want ?

Also, the rather new Red language (Rebol-like) http://www.red-lang.org/ seems interesting.

I'm just wondering why Creole wiki syntax failed on this particular point: for me, the syntax is much more consistent and easier to parse.
Re:Sublime Text 2 - 2126. Hot Exit, Code Folding, and more. on Wednesday September 28, 2011 @08:11AM (#3047460)
Best text editor for me on Windows since Intype and eTexteditor died.

Also, the developper is really a nice guy and very productive (many updates this week for example). Folding came when it was not expected: congrats.

I maybe wrong but it seems that caterwaul provides a macro system for JS (but I never tested it): http://caterwauljs.org

If I remember correctly, Stallman also launched a war against Tcl some time ago. But I never really understood why he did it.

Any hint ?

Re:Ask YC: Startup using Google App Engine? on Saturday July 19, 2008 @04:04PM (#250844)
I'm using GAE (for a blog and a wiki with basic functionalities) and was surprised to like to play with the BigTables.

I don't think you should care for a startup. The only thing I'm missing is the use of external apps like LaTeX to build png images from math formulas.
