I take a look at the list and found this: https://github.com/prospero78/Oberon07ru Looks interesting. I wonder how hard/easy to port this to Linux/Mac, for example.

Are you interested in academic work/research? If yes, I think a M.Sc suits you. And perhaps continue till you get a PhD. If not, hmm probably not. You can learn most of practical knowledge via Udemy/Coursera/YouTube etc these

Magic Wormholes looks interesting. I assume both sender and receiver must be online simultaneously? What if I want to send file securely and the receiver can grab it, say a week later because he's travelling on a country with no reliab

Imagine you are interviewing a developer and find this line in his/her CV: Personal achivement: - I built my own OS and C compiler Looks really impressive today, but perhaps it was the norm 3 or 4 decads ago. Anyway, I envy such people

AFAIK there is no significant effort to implement full C99 compatibility (let alone the newer C standards, and C++ as well).

"actually write the App." I assume FORTH is mostly used for embedded development these days? And perhaps umm... instrumentation? What about mobile apps? Or REST API?

I started learning Delphi in 2003 (or 2002?) when in high school. At that time, not many of us were interested in programming, probably only the "geeks". Of course, typically high schoolers prefer sports, online games, or music. I

I wonder if someone already modified this so it also runs on Windows & Mac. Hmm....

1. You also shouldn't build apps because people hate downloading them. 2. That's what Spotify and other companies are doing. Spotify provides both web and desktop version. Oops I mean three: web, desktop, and natime mobile. So, w

Hmmm looks fun. I'm a mobile app (not game) perspective. For many years, I always want to make cool 3D game like GTA, unfortunately due to it's complexity it's impossible to write such game alone. Probably I'll learn wri

Could you specifically point those outdated books? Perhaps the "Dragon Book" is among them?

Ah that's the one. Just found that via this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Defunct_watchmaking_c... Originally not a British brand, though.

Reminds me of good old time (2010-2011), when my 1st job was doing BlackBerry development. I wonder if BlackBerry Messenger is still functional?

Many many years ago (during undergraduate days), we used to download MKV animes at campus lab (yea yea bad practice, I know). Typically, we didn't have admin rights to install the necessary codecs for watching those movies. Guess what?

Pascal was one of my earliest exposures to programming. MS just released Windows XP, I was in high school. Back in those days, people used Basic, Pascal, and C for programming competitions. Already had some experiences with Basic, and found

I still remember Pidgin very well. Back in 2006 (or 2007?), most of my campus friends used YM on Meebo. I used Pidgin until 2011, I guess. There was Pidgin portable, which was very easy to use on computer labs where you don't have inst

I'm still constantly evaluating Nim, D, and Rust. And tooling-wise, I think they are production-ready. Not sure what kind of thing I write in Zig. Will also try it, anyway :)

As a mobile dev, I don't see much effort in Haskell community working on Haskell toolchain for mobile apps. They seem to more interested in web frameworks. Hmm...

CoreWars is probably the most interesting programming game ever made. Yes, I've played Zachtronics games like TIS-100, Shenzen I/O, Exapunks. No doubt those are super fun addictive games. As a programmer who still ocasionally writ
