I think your assumptions are correct (I haven't learnt it but have read quite a bit about this and other artificial languages). It's very cool! The people who have learnt it talk wonders about it. However, I find it too limited to

Well, I can discourage its usage as much as I want, but if my university decides to use it, my chances to change that are very close to zero. And if the security issues affect me or my students, I will feel sorry.

I don't disagree with your comment. There are probably collectors who think like that. But I guess most collectors really like to show off their collections. Why having a good art collection if you cannot show it to anyone?

Perfect reproductions are a goal both for museums and researchers. See, for example: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/337848225_Gloss_Col...

Well, 12 years is an exaggeration. Once you have learned the concepts (which you need to learn independently of which programming language you use), getting used to the symbols is just a matter of a bit of practice. For example, I learnt to

Do you consider add(a,multiply(b,c)) certainly more readable than a+b*c? The article shows some nice k idioms that I find much more readable written in a concise form. For example, I find |^... easier than reverse(sort_ascending(...)), or &

I guess this was not a serious suggestion, unless you're in Mars.

I like the idea of a very small language and I think it may be very useful for science and technology, but Toki Pona does not fit the requirements. Eg: it lacks words to express numbers. Lojban looks interesting for this purpose, but it&#x2

Joy is a great language! I also wish it had been more influential. Maybe you already knew this, but there are lots of great articles about Joy in nsl.com, and there is also Thun: http://joypy.osdn.io/ (which someone suggest

I'm sorry Forth is not on that list. It could be argued that it was not so influential for mainstream languages, but there is a whole range of concatenative languages that can be considered direct descendants.

It gets worse. People post memes when reading about numbers. Then those numbers turn into names of famous people, and finally names of people you directly know, and memes stop being funny.

Staying open is not a panacea for small businesses. Nobody is travelling, nobody is spending. My parents have a small shop (in Spain) and they had to close before the lockdown started because they were not selling anything. And, by that tim

Your numbers are totally unrealistic. Assuming the growth rate is similar as in Europe (and afaik there is no reason to think it is any different), if you start the quarantine with hospitals at 50%, they will be at 100% capacity in 3 days,

Ok, maybe not yet. But once you start the lockdown, exponential growth continues for a couple of weeks (at least). If it grows at the same rate as in Europe, at the end of those two weeks Santa Clara county will need to hospitalize more tha

Yes, I am sorry about that. It is too late to edit it now, but I already admitted in another comment that leaving out that information was a mistake. Nevertheless, I think that my comment brought up some unexpected interesting discussions.

This is a great initiative, but it looks to me like most of these projects are directed to help the US. That's totally understandable, but there are many people all over the world willing to help with this, and it would be great if we
