It's the UNIX principle/tradition that line oriented text is the universal format. It's quite flexible. But I share your feeling, and I keep hearing nice things about powershell. Also, if you work with CSV files, look at text

Thanks for this background. I would've loved to have something like this when I was growing up. I'm sure I'd enjoy playing with this today, when it's released in English.

You're right, my apologies. I saw (c) 2011 Nintendo in the footer, and thought it was by them. Upon closer reading I see that SmileBoom Co. Ltd were just acknowledging use of Nintendo trademarks! Can someone edit the title to be "

That does look pretty interesting. Here's the english-language page with examples: http://smilebasic.com/en/ Wish I had this when I learned to program :-) Edit: and this hilarious video with english subtitles! ht

Nice. I recall writing REBOOT.COM myself by using EDIT.COM and writing two bytes (0xCD 0x18 by typing Alt-205 Alt-24, if I recall right) and saving it. That executes interrupt 0x18 which should start the BASIC interpreter in the ROM. But mo

Good read, thanks for that. I agree with the conclusion: there is no one-size-fits-all rule for interoperability. The way I see it, it's ultimately about tradeoffs. I can only imagine what things would be like today if web browsers implemen

It has crossed TBL's mind: "I have to say that now I regret that the syntax is so clumsy. I would like http://www.example.com/foo/bar/baz to be just written http:com/example/foo/bar/baz where the client would figure out that www.example.c

Regardless of the syntax for encoding a server event, having a request id (txnId in the post) is an often overlooked detail. See how Google do this in their systems: http://highscalability.com/blog/2010/4/27/paper-dapper-googl...

I'll probably get dinged for making a sophomoric observation. Their example code makes use of the variable $hit, performs a var_dump($hit) and then returns $hit. Am I the only one that noticed this?
