This is exactly why I switched to a BlackBerry after using both an iPhone and a couple of Android phones. Most of what I want to deal with is text, and the BlackBerry handles text better than any of the other smart phones I've tried. The Dr

I wrote a color scheme/plugin to do something similar a while back (I think it's darkroom.vim on vim.org). Never really developed it fully. Ratings indicate people were underwhelmed :) Looks like this guy may have given the idea a much bett

Ah, it looks like you are correct. Perhaps shedskin would work better for this idea, except for the fact that it produces C++ rather than C. Added: Also, I missed that you were talking about creating human readable C++. I'm not at all certa

I think Cython/Pyrex might be cool for this. Python(ish) syntax that generates C code when run through the compiler. I wonder how hard it is for that generated code to be portable, or if it is already optimized for the architecture that the

If you really want something to change the way you think, I would suggest Scheme while reading SICP "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs". I believe MIT makes the newer version of the text available online, and the old MIT Ope

Easy simple ways that I can think of: - look up CherryPy - It's pretty simple to get started and a good way to learn something about both web servers and websites. - you could also check out learn python the hard way (2n

Some thoughts off the top of my head (hopefully accurate): - Do you use Vim? I believe it's written in C - Apache web server - written in C (I believe) - Mozilla Firefox - written in C++ These above would have the advantage that

I think you would struggle (at least initially) to feel more productive in Scheme than Ruby / Python (although Racket seems like it would probably be equivalent to Ruby/Python in capability). However, I'm concentrating on Common Lisp these

To change the font in gVim, set guifont in your .vimrc file ex. (from mine): set guifont=Courier_New:h8:b:cANSI However, if you are happy with your current setup, I'm not sure there's a reason to change things just for the gui.

My experience might be out of date at this point, but I remember getting similar experiences out of installing Slackware and FreeBSD years ago. Nowadays, the Ubuntu installer takes care of so many details for me, that I don't really have to

Try ":source mswin.vim" - I think that should give "normal" style copy/cut/paste behavior - note that "old" ctrl-v becomes ctrl-q with this change.

Thanks, I think I have that book, I'll try to find it in my stacks and take a look at that chapter.

Would Erlang fit this catagory? I ask because it's the language I'm trying to learn currently and so far it seems to have a core that's something like "Scheme with syntax" (Although I guess it's actually a lisp-2). But I don't know if it ha
