I've put significant work over the past 6 years into an open source programming language called Sleep. I have a small community and I love programming in it and that is enough of a reward to me.
That said, I've attracted my critics too:
Subject: better name would be STOP

Please. Just STOP. stop stop stop. don't inflict yet another half-baked, il-concieved abortion of a scripting language onto unsuspecting developers. Yes, you had fun writing it, but the only niche it fills is the one in your head that renders you incapable of mastering any of the other numerous scripting options already available to you.
I know I'm supposed to be nice to you because hey who are you really bothering, and selection of the fittest will surely see sleep sleep it's way to a quiet and peaceful death. But while on it's way to it's inevitable demise, sleep is bound to take with it some hapless developers,
who will in turn inflict it on numerous doomed projects, and all that spells misery for all concerned.
While I'm at it, I also have to point out that the very last thing I want to read when browsing a language reference is pathetic, self-important humour.
I'm urging you to do the honourable thing. stop sleeping, and wake the f* up. Take down your cargo-cult website (it even has a wiki! it's _bound_ to be a success!) and spend (alot) more time researching your foundations before embarking on such follies again.
- motoko 18y agoWhy do intensely personal attacks start with "Nothing Personal?"
- lacker 18y agoBecause they don't really mean it personally, since they know nothing about the person behind things. They are not thinking at all about the founder/writer/developer. They are just thinking about how annoyed they were for the past 2 seconds.
- mechanical_fish 18y agoWhich is to say: We'd all be better people if, whenever we typed the phrase nothing personal, Clippy popped up on the screen with a message: "I see you're writing something that might be better left unsaid. Would you like to get some sleep before continuing?"
- zitterbewegung 18y agoDude, with a name like sleep and a thing called hoes how can you go wrong? It doesn't look that bad as a scripting language actually, I applaud you that you actually created the thing. :-)
