Oh hey, this is the first language I ever used, when I was 12! Don't think I'll ever go back to this though. Never could figure out the 3D stuff back then, but had fun drawing lines, text, occasional bitmaps and playing sound samp

I'm there right now. I think the only reasonable alternative would be something like erlang at this time. I see M as still used because it is without fail very predictable in resource usage and behavior, and with certain patterns, not

As an owner and user of a 3D printer, I don't expect the scene to get to regular household users within the next 5 years. Difference in material qualities can totally influence how you prepare the models for printing. For example, afte

A few questions on applicability 1. Would this be good for a car? Is having a mostly unbreakable windshield a good thing? 2. How would it handle for cookware? Will it last even if an ignorant person left it in the oven for hours on end? 3.
