Meta Language

Who would have thought it would be possible at all to finish a year of advent of code puzzles using #MetaLang ? Check out how I pulled this of using this very readable code on arnoldvanhofwegen.com/the/unoffici...

I just completed all 25 days of Advent of Code 2015! #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com Thanks to the wonderfull community and the Meta programming language by #MetaLang

You are awarded the top #MetaLang contributors' prize. 😀 arnoldvanhofwegen.com/the/unoffici... #code #dev #CrossPlatform

this is how it feels to reach 30 MILLION users!!!

I just completed "I Was Told There Would Be No Math" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2015 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2015/day/2 Create a Special on processing input arnoldvanhofwegen.com/the/unoffici... with #MetaLang

Most people don't know yet what to do with our Meta #programming #language, but it's just a matter of time if we keep at it. Meta is a #FunctionalProgramming language, but not a #pure one, so it's more like most languages than you may think. #MetaLang #code #dev #CrossPlatform #FP

Via #REBOL and #Logo, our Meta #programming #language descends from the original #AI language, #Lisp. Our vision is for humans and AI to work together to improve #software. Most people don't look under the hood of their car, but technicians and engineers need to. #MetaLang #code #dev #CrossPlatform

Another great contribution from Arnold, that helps to test and develop the #language. It shows #BigIntegers, #string handling, #file #InputOutput and a #StateMachine. #MetaLang #code #dev #CrossPlatform #FSM

Arnold implemented the #Radix #Sort #algorithm in our Meta #programming #language. #MetaLang #code #dev #CrossPlatform

I was a #Lotus #Notes specialist, which was directly inspired by Ray #Ozzie using #Plato as a student. Later I used the #P2P followup #Groove and several groupware systems written in #REBOL, #MetaLang 's predecessor. One of Meta's aims is to make the next step. #Bluesky is also a worthy successor.

A warm welcome to our new follower, the icon of computing science Jonathan Edwards @jonathoda.bsky.social I hope you don't mind me singling you out. I remember essays from you such as that advocating 1-based indexing, confirming the design choice in our #MetaLang

I too remember when the Internet came on a free CD in the mail. Gen Alpha:

Grunn!!!! love that place.

The upside to developing a FPS is that no matter how poorly optimized the game is, you'd always have at least 1 FPS.

Many of the new arrivals here don't fully grasp yet how Bluesky is different from other social media. Here is some explanation.

Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉 We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:

can't argue with that...

One of the things we do in our Meta #programming #language to make it more #humanFriendly, is to avoid abbreviations, with very few exceptions. Regular #English should be the base for learning the language, not arcane abbreviations. #MetaLang #code #dev language.metaproject.frl#goals

There's still hope.

#Robots will have matched human #intelligence when they start watching #ScienceFiction movies about more intelligent robots replacing them. #AI #singularity #doomsday

"Simplicity is very hard to design, but it's easier to build and much easier to maintain. By avoiding complexity, simplicity's benefits are exponential." "Things will get so complex, so slow, they'll just grind to a halt." language.metaproject.frl#muda

Jay for complexity, centralisation, mono culture, Windows, automatic security scanning, and automatic updates! They Struck the Crowd alright.

Two thirds of #software #vulnerabilities, and specifically those causing #security #risks, are caused by #MemoryUnsafe #programming #languages, despite many countermeasures. Google is phasing out #unsafe languages such as #C++. language.metaproject.frl#features #MetaLang #dev #code #CPP #CPlusPlus

Implemented the "break" and "continue" loop control methods in our Meta #language. They're the same as in #REBOL 3, and #C and other C style languages. Other REBOL family languages have "break", but not "continue". #MetaLang #dev #code www.rebol.com/r3/docs/conc... www.rebol.com/r3/docs/func...

In our Meta #programming #language, arity of function calls can be made clear by adding optional parentheses, and/or whitespace in #TreeNotation style. Arity of often used functions will be learned with practice, reducing parentheses. #MetaLang #code #dev language.metaproject.frl#features

Most #programmers are used to brackets around function calls and no brackets around operator expressions. In Meta, both are optional and a matter of style. Beginners are confused by the arity of functions, but it's easy to add parentheses. #MetaLang #code #dev language.metaproject.frl#features

The #Lisp #programming #language earned its nickname of Lots of Irritating Single Parentheses. Meta descends from Lisp and Scheme via #REBOL and Logo, but reduces parentheses by not requiring them around function calls. #MetaLang #code #dev #SchemeLang #LogoLang language.metaproject.frl#features
