You can control type specialization to a certain extent with overloading. For instance, if a procedure takes two arguments, and if both these types can vary independently, then you can use overloading to ensure that both arguments are conve

Hi. Pointers to type T have the type Pointer[T]. '&' operator is for getting the address of a lvalue, and the '^' operator is for dereferencing. '^' is a better choice than C's '*' for dereferencing because, I can conveniently use the s

I implemented goto because I've seen it being useful in other languages. That said, there's no other occurrence of goto in clay. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24451/goto-usage

Hi folks, I'm the author of Clay. There aren't any docs ready yet, but I'll try to answer whatever questions I can. Also, there's a long thread over at reddit with many interesting questions. http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/ct

Projects which help in earning your living will do fine. You'll probably end up working on it everyday. On the other hand, it's harder to find time for projects which are not related to how you make a living. And, if you struggle to find ti

This is a common point of confusion. There are two distinct orthogonal language properties at play here: 1) Variables being references(pointers) to objects. 2) Function arguments being passed by reference or by value. In Python, all variabl
