Yep. As they said on the ASP site: Founded in 1987, the ASP pioneered the try-before-you-buy marketing method that is now universal in the software industry.

Ha ha. Vimcode, though. And "vim" is pretty close to "vm" for virtual machine that runs that vimcode, or bytecode :)

Makes sense. This is him: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Edwards_Deming There is a an international TQM award named after him: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deming_Prize Many Japanese people

Interesting. I gave Python training to a UK guy in the finance industry, a few years ago. He was working on a fintech side project that used gnip.

There was a site/service called gnip. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnip

What was the issue about modules?

>Interesting seeing job postings wanting 5+ years of LLM experience. Not really interesting. Similar to seeing job postings some years back (and even recently), wanting n+ years of Rails experience when DHH had created it significantly

Yes, the DATA statement was the way of doing it in BASIC.

They said "earlier, Perl".

Got it, thanks. Yes, uuencode / uudecode are probably older too. They are from the uucp dialup comms era of networking.

>portswigger does that for the burpsuite installers. Wow, that triggered my wordplay radar, which I'm working on as a fun side line these days, thanks :) port, suite (sweet) swig, burp Heh.

I've used both, but only briefly. I think I used uuencode when using uucp. And Base64 in one of my Python programs. What are their pros and cons, in your opinion?
228.

BASIC and Perl had or have something like that too. IIRC, Perl copied it from BASIC, because BASIC came much before Perl. And, again, IIRC, I've read about the shar (shell archive) method that someone else commented about in this threa

There is also a sequel, More Programming Pearls. I have both, and they are good. In one of them, Bentley shows some advanced uses of awk, involving its associative arrays, in a short awk program to do some sort of processing, and says that

There is also Thinking Forth, by the same author, Leo Brodie, IIRC.

Yes, and also whether they themselves read it, or are just going by others' opinions.

How is it different or better (, if compatible)?

Pascal is not really becoming obscure, if you include its dialects and derivatives, like Delphi and Free Pascal. Delphi, though expensive, is still used a lot in companies, particularly in Europe, including Germany. I was a heavy Turbo Pasc

Going to try out Factor, and had read about it before. Saw a video about it recently. It is a concatenative language, like Forth, which I had tried out some earlier, via GNU Forth, IIRC. But there is more to Factor than just that. Forth is

I had tried out Icon some years ago. Ralph Griswold (who had worked on SNOBOL) and a team, created it. Downloads may still be available. Found it interesting.

Why do you think it is that good?

The syntax seems straightforward, although I only looked at the demo programs on the home page. The site might have a CSS issue though. Top list of links was truncated on the right, had to shrink the text. Using Chrome on Android.

Interesting. I had come across Vlang a year or so ago and had checked it out briefly, then forgot about it. Thanks to your comment, I just checked it again. Seems to have progressed a lot since my last visit. Going to try it out.

Have you checked the full docs? Maybe it takes an optional parameter to specify the server machine's IP address or host name. Then others on the network could see it. Not near a PC now.
