Can we just clarify that you mean that comments should never be parsed by the language engine. There are valid annotation systems, but the goal is alway to ensure that one passable can never impact the other.

Imagine if here a comment could create a syntax error! This is even worse for runtime scripting languages like python.

I believe that the shareholders are quite happy?

I do recommend emacs though. It is not the greatest editor, but it is an amazing experience. It is such an amazing experiment, that has an extensive set of different ways of looking at content and code - it will change how you think about coding.

I can’t say that it is, no.

Org-mode is like md but has tables and more. Emacs will even run computation as a party of interpretation. GitHub accepts it in place of markdown.

Elections would be good, but hard to do for 1/3 of the country

The whole thread is full of them.

He gets to blame it on the Israelis.

Is that the current goal? To stop terrorism?

It’s not easy to discover that you passed an empty memory pointer.

You need a snappy title, and an opening theme song … 'cause you’ve got a 70s sitcom on yer hands.

No jokes: pick a language that is in the market, but has a different design philosophy than your background. Your background includes compiled static, and loose scripting, with strong library tooling, so you have diversity there, so a language in which you have to think differently is the right choice.

I recommend:

1. Rust if you want something safe but that makes you work differently from java
2. Go if you want a real mental challenge (the coding approach is very different from java)
3. Lua if you want really see functional programming as a philosophy
4. Python if you want scripting, and are tired of the web

especially when it is not possible for them to emigrate. Forcing Gazans to emigrate to Egypt, when you are neither Gazans nor Egyptians is ridiculous at best. Next will be the Israeli governments saying “we took care of them for this long, now it is domeone else’s turn.”
