You mean satanist, right? The 'd' stands for daemon.

Nice non-sequitur.

And just to make this clear, where I live you are allowed to lie to federal officers if you are accused, and there is no such crime as a 'conspiracy to lie to government investigators'. Not all countries are as fascist as the USA.

I did not reply to your first comment but to another one of your countless comments, namely one which was false. Before you pester public forums with your biased opinions on how to interpret idiotic laws, you should perhaps first learn how to argue.

That's not what the guy was arrested for, dumbass.

Fascists.

Your laws are ridiculous.

Don't know why this has been modded funny, it just depends on the interpretation of "soon." Give it another hundred years and the solar system will indeed be crawling with private robots, unless we somehow manage to seriously fuck up our civilization until then. On a cosmic time scale another hundred or two hundred years is nothing.

What annoys me a bit, though, is that I'm probably born too early to be able to download my consciousness into a machine during my lifetime, so I won't see what the future brings. :(

- It's faster than Python and, I suppose, Ruby.

- It has a faster executable startup time than Java and other languages that depend on the clunky JVM.

- It's not as OO-perverted as Java, or at least, allows you to write your OO-perverted code with less keystrokes than Java.

- It has many features that the Algol68 language has, too.

- It lacks many features that Common Lisp has and will never have them. (Whether you think that's good or not, depends a bit on the length of your beard and weather you primarily live off coke and chinese food and pizza or not.)

- It has built-in concurrency like Ada has, only that it is much less safe than Ada and also much slower.

- It is slower than C and Fortran, so if you do number crunching it will give you an additional coffee break.

- It provides endless opportunities and fun with fiddling around with glue code for interfacing to C and C++ libraries - like all new language!

- Its somewhat easier to learn and use than Forth, but less easier to use than Python (which is good, because we don't want it to be too easy now, do we)

Please notice that I'm not in any way affiliated with Google, so this not some hidden advertising/slashvertisement.

5 years of Go versus 30 years of Common Lisp and 50 years of Lisp. :)

Please mod up. Seagate drives fail much sooner than all other brands.

The ironic thing is that if there was a Microsoft Word for Linux and it could actually read its own file format correctly, then I would probably buy it just so I could exchange files with publishers without having to worry about missing special characters and malformed tables.

You confuse the local laws of some countries with EU law.

Palemoon crashes a lot on my machine, Firefox doesn't ... which is weird, given that Palemoon is essentially a rebranded Firefox.

No, he doesn't, and neither do you.
