I think uniform initialization needs a lot of work before it can become the one and only mechanism for initialization. Currently it isn't anywhere near uniform enough. But aside from that, I think it would be fine to use curly braces f

You could do it by separating the body with a semicolon: if something_is_true(); log("warning!") I haven't really considered the preprocessor as I prefer to avoid it as much as possible.

As somebody posted in another comment, it looks like it's already been done: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7444459

Interesting, thanks for the link. This does look quite similar!

Well I've written quite a bit of CoffeeScript, and while I had a few issues with incorrect code translation to JavaScript, I don't recall ever having problems with mis-indented code.

Yeah, I expected a mixed response. The "missed tab problem" always crops up and is vastly overblown. C++ of course has the "misplaced semicolon" counterpart to it: while (i < 100); //loop body is empt

Well, I didn't say that Python is the pinnacle of minimalism :) However, it's hard to reduce C++ to Lisp syntax without completely changing the nature of the language.

Any specific reasons why it's error-prone? I've just seen someone post a link to SPECS in the comments to the post - it's interesting but takes a very different direction. I wanted the code to remain recognisably C++.

What if C++ looked more like Python or CoffeeScript?(cpprocks.com)

As somebody else mentioned elsewhere in the thread, get involved with 350.org, or alternatively Greenpeace. AFAIK, these are the largest and most effective organisations in the climate change area. We're well past the point where chang

Thanks, I haven't heard about multicast delegates before, and I need to learn more about FRP.

I think you make a good point, but there seems to be more to the OP's events and operations than you suggest. The 'events' are implied to be broadcast versus 'messages' which are sent to a particular object (i.e. po

For me, it's simply about making the choice again and again. It still hasn't become natural, but the realisation itself that I have a choice to be happy is helpful, even if I sometimes struggle with actually making the choice.

What's wrong with taking the risk out? If there are people willing to pay in advance, then it's a better solution for everybody. It could mean, for example, they can make a better product as they are not constrained by living on t

A couple of counterexamples. Moscow used to have plenty of homeless people (not sure how it is these days) despite harsh winters. New Zealand has very few, despite similar weather conditions to SF. While it's probably true that SF has

I guess the interesting question is, why aren't similar things popular today? I'm guessing the apps you mentioned didn't really become popular in their day either.

I don't think there's any correlation between the use of 2D and 3D printers - they don't have much in common other than the name. I expect the use of 2D printers to be declining as more and more things are done online, but cu

Long copy often converts better, actually. Personally, I liked the page. I prefer it when I can find out what the service does and how before I have to sign up. Also, consider that if, like many other pages, this one just had a few soundbit

I would say these approaches were still just bandages, so it makes sense they didn't catch on. GWT, for example, was a fairly nasty leaky abstraction. I don't think it removed the need to understand the rest of the stack, and it a

Yeah, it seems I was overly optimistic when I wrote that post on CppRocks. I was thinking that they would release another update of the CTP features pretty soon, but it doesn't look like it's happening...

97% of climate scientists agree that the current climate change is anthropogenic: http://theconversation.com/its-true-97-of-research-papers-sa... It's not even the first review. How much more proof do you need? I think it's arrogant to ig
