I really dislike slotting things down to a language. If you are proficient in the underlying programming concepts, the language simply does not matter with the right amount of motivation.

I used early versions of this before it was in GitHub. Glad to see it is progressing. It worked very well and have been in using it regularly. Can't wait to upgrade!

Not sure why so many down votes for your comment. I watched the video and if I remember right somebody did come up and gave a reminder that they should be considerate that there were Trump voters. They were promptly booed.

Not that I agree or disagree with the practice I can't help to see how people are so quick to want to talk about limiting what looks very much like free speech. If I wanted to spread a message person to person on the street. I think I

I thought about this. Here is what I came up with. If you upvote, and had to reply saying the same thing because you agree no new information is presented. Thus simply upvoting is needed. But if you downvote, that means somebody has a diffe

I am universally saying you don't need things like AWS. But I can see how that phrasing might warrant a down vote.

I don't care about the upvotes either. I care about why somebody thinks one way or the other. Maybe I will agree, or disagree. Maybe I will learn something. But simply downvoting because you don't agree leaves no new information f
