My goal is to create a new programming language (sort of - in so far as I can talk about it). If monetized properly it would be worth billions. Questions is, should I incubate it myself, which will take longer, but be very financially rewarding, or work on it openly so that better minds than mine can make it better - but then no money for me... (except perhaps on the conference circuit!)
- TheSOB88 16y agoIs this a joke, or what?
- binaryfinery 16y agoNo. What part do you find funny/absurd?
- TheSOB88 16y agoYou think you can make billions on a programming language? The only popular language that I can think of that isn't free is C#, so people are going to have options. You talk about it as though it would be easy, but promotion, debugging, libraries, support, tutorials, HOLY SHIT it's not easy.
- binaryfinery 16y agoWell either I'm stupid and/or completely inexperienced, or I have a really good system. I take it you assumed the former. :-) Thank you for answering. I initially thought you were saying that the "go for money vs go for open source" question was a joke.
- TheSOB88 16y agoJust sounds like you have a bad case of "shit's easy" syndrome, as Yegge said when I was reading him yesterday.
- binaryfinery 16y agoNever said it was going to be easy. My question, in fact, was whether I should have it take longer by doing it myself, or open it up to the community to get it done faster.
- TheSOB88 16y agoGood luck...
