If you take a branch from a tree to kill a deer, can I do the same without asking for permission?

We wouldn't be here today if we couldn't.

I like what I see. Now make it available at Godaddy, Namecheap and all hosting providers for it to dethrone PHP as the king of the web.

I haven't read the tut yet but… could I write a language like python with that tutorial? If not, what would it be the best tutorial for indented syntax like python?

I'd like to have that thing on the roof of my house hooked to a powerwall, is that even possible?

Excuse my total ignorance but I don't live in the command line, so what is this sorcery you speak of useful for us mere mortals?

I really want to learn not to feel left behind.

I believe my only change has been from Notepad2 to Sublime and from Firefox to Safari.

I wish I could use the Swift compiler from the command line instead of having to download a 10GB XCode monster over my shitty 14kb modem that will take a couple of years.

Is there a swifter option?

In academia and corporate? Sure.

In real world? Php, Python, Ruby and Javascript still reign supreme.

Mobile is another story since main platforms are controlled by corporations, but if it were for the hobbyists neither java nor swift would have had a chance.

Put some water instead of sand, a small turbine in the neck, and you may have an interesting power generator. Perhaps a portable light bulb?

Or just install solar roofs with power walls in every single american home for 1 trillion dollars and be done with it. No need to occupy extra land or run expensive machinery and power lines all over the country.

Distributed energy is the future.

Interesting. Put it sideways, allow to save many frames and then play ASCII movies. That may start a new fad. The internet is all about fads.

Never underestimate the power of the long tail.
