   To formulate this a little more nicely, I might say instead that there is a real need for "intimate" languages, just as there is a need for "collaborative" languages. As an example, the shells on my personal machines are

   This is great, and I'll definitely be playing with this tomorrow. I also can't seem to stop myself going off half-cocked and writing language interpreters[1][2] and virtual machines[3]. It's really quite addictive, and gives

   Don't worry. PHP itself shouldn't be an issue. It's bog standard ALGOL-y syntax with some weird corner cases that aren't that hard to avoid. The bigger gotcha will be getting used to the execution model, if it's sta

    Docker swarm basically lets you say "I want to deploy this image somewhere, you choose from the available actual machines" based on constraints that you've set up. You also had to actually set up the machines themselves (thou

    This is cool RIGHT NOW because WHO THE HELL CARES WHAT THE UNDERLYING OS IS? For a user trying to bring something to market, here's what matters: 1) it's cheaper (theoretically, due to performance savings from not dealing with har

    FoneScript is both a DSL for specifying simple telephone menu trees and call routing, and (eventually) a cloud platform for hosting them. You can check out the syntax, try out a demo and sign up for our launch list, but right now we're
