Considering the malware years of sourceforge, this is no opportunity to take a stab at github. The surprise is that sourceforge is still a thing. https://www.howtogeek.com/218764/warning-don%E2%80%99t-downl...

Norway got more cases than denmark (622 vs 514), and our government is still asleep. The "wait and see" attitude makes shure they are always 3 steps behind.

Not a fan of electron at all. But I think it points out the direction for the future of gui. There's a whole generation of new languages (rust, go, dart, D, ...) that wants to get into the gui-space and finding QT and GTK problematic.

Wrote an LSystem app as part of a larger math suite hobby project. Select 'examples' in the menu and click draw to get going. The lsystems are expressed in my own little math-like scripting language. https://mathblocks.

I don't think it's _only_ a media fear fest. It's been scary, and still is. If dogs are dying from this seasonaly, and the media frenzy results in things beeing figured out - it's good. Early news coverage said similar i

I suspect that it's often the cumulative effect of several, on their own maybe imperceptible, differences that separates a good dish from a great one.

Put that flex & bison book away. Don't think about compilers. Design your own litte interpreted language. Write a lexer by hand (not that hard). Write a recursive descent parser by hand. It's a bit tricky to get infix operator
