Learning complete Python is not easy. Basic Python is easy. JavaScript is easier than Python.

Programming / Re: NGR, Nigeria First Made Programming Language by dsypha(m): 9:49am On Aug 21, 2016

Since Pluto (the name of my language) is still in development stage, I don't see any reason why I can't borrow useful concepts from modern languages. Julia's multiple dispatch for example, while not new, opens a whole new way of solving problems. And for me, it made some rigid Pluto's structure easier to implement.
Designing a language is definitely not easy. I knew that like a month after starting the project. cry
But I'm doing this for fun more than anything else. grin
Especially when I found out that the goals I had for Pluto were what Julia aims to be.
So maybe Pluto is not anymore unique than Julia, but it is worth the shot. If not for showcasing, then for learning.
Pluto is a representation of how I'd like to write my programs.
Pluto. Hm. Okay.

Hello Op.
I'm really excited for your project and I'd like to know if the project is still ongoing.
I'm also working on a similar project and I'd like if we could share ideas.
I'm almost done with the lexer, parser and the semantic analyser of my language and I'm currently working on a code generator for llvm.
I'd like to see your language designs and decisions as I'm always forced to do deep critical thinking that hurts my brain and sleep-time some times. One being multiple inheritance ambiguity.
My language is designed after a lot of both old and modern languages like CLOS, Java, Swift, Julia, C#, Rust, Go, C/C++, Python, JS, Scala, Ruby, Lua and Dart, but it derives a good deal of its syntax from Python. I however took the liberty of making it expressive and less redundant.
There are a lot of features my language is expected to support, but I can't list all of them here. Some of which include Optional Typing (Type Inference, Duck Typing and Static Typing), Covariant Type Relationship, First-Class Functions, Functional Paradigm, Imperative Paradigm, Object-Oriented Paradigm, Expression-Based, Multiple Dispatch, Pattern Matching, Generics, Lexical Scoping, Operator Overloading, List Comprehension, Homoiconicity, Meta-Programming, and Automatic Reference Counting (instead of Tracing GC)
After sveral minutes of search on the interenet, for a Nigerian-developed language, I found this thread and another academic proposal, a language called SIPPL.
I believe we are one of the few software developers in Nigeria, aiming to create a production-ready language.
And I think we need to be aware of each other's existence.

I'd love to see your project and perhaps discuss about it.
I don't want you giving up yet.

BTW, my language hopes to make AI development, even though, how that will work is a little obscure.
But for now it is general-purpose programming language.
Designing a new language is not easy. Most times, languages benefit from design decisions of other languages that have stood the test of time. Languages that have been around for not less that a decade. Your languages derive from Julia, Go, Rust?! These are languages that were released yesterday, nobody is certain of their successes. I, for example, don't even know what the syntax of Julia looks like. Maybe Go will succeed given that Google owns it.
What am saying is you don't design languages to emulate new languages that have 'not seen anything yet'.

chalantmike:
there are certain keywords in programming that can't be type in a lower case or must be typed first with a capital letter etc, java is very sensitive , python is more tolerant n forgive in general.
Wrong. You don't make sense at all. It is either case-sensitive or it's not. There's no in-between. Most languages are case-sensitive. Python and Java are both case-sensitive. None is more forgiving in case-sensitivity than the other. typing 'ReturN' instead of 'return' in either languages produces a reference error.

yea python is more or less a direct programming language, less case sensitive compared to java n the rest.

Less case sensitive?? What on earth could you possibly mean?

Programming / Re: Open Sourcing Sachng, I Need Your Advice And Idea by dsypha(m): 12:20am On Aug 13, 2016
Open sourcing it is a bad idea. How many commercial engines are open source?
I think the problem is u havent really taken time to plan this out. Firstly, u need excessive work and dedication. Pick parts of the app and work on it one at a time. Make sure the parts are very decoupled from each other. For instance, pick the crawler aspect and give it your best shot. Work on each part as a separate project. Spend months on each part if required. Just take your time and pick the right tools for your job. You need to spend your on the important parts of your infrastructure. Give extra work on the indexing system. The web app that serves users is the simplest part of it. I wouldnt worry on it just yet. Work on your crawler code and index a large quantity of information. Keep coding, when u get stuck ask your developer friends for help but dont give any one direct access to the whole code.
Finally, please and please just have the mindset you are doing it for fun and learnin purpose. Remove that idea of rivaling google just yet. Try and build a great product first.

Viewing on mobile browser:
Nice clean interface.
- I like a post without login, why?
- read is very slow,
- site load speed is too slow for a new website with less than 2k post,
- when I click on quote from a post, a blank screen came up. note am not logged in.
- interface is clean but too white/grey I didn't mean you should use green every where oo, try color match,
- captcha text is tiny while other boxes are big, captcha is unreadable.

There are other many minor issues.

Bro. What of sachng.com?

Programming / Re: Can I Learn Python On My Own? Even With No Previous Knowledge In Programming by dsypha(m): 4:06pm On May 23, 2016
eNelo:
Sweetie, you can do learn anything on your own if you're ready to sweat. Grit is the only requirement thats indispensable to learn any technology.

The first few months of programming are usually quite tricky, but the key is this: keep coding. Books are great yes, but you could read 10 great books and not be able to compete with a coder that has doled out 10 projects.

My advice to you would be this: identify something small that you need, and create the app. Let me explain: when I first started, I noticed how much I used the Windows Sticky Notes, but I always had to write the dates myself. So I used Java to create another version of sticky notes.
It can get really confusing: not really understanding what youre doing. But it gets better pretty fast.

Also, finishing one project is no excuse to sit back. As youre finishing one, start another. Making projects is the fastest and most thoroug route to coding well IMO.

You cannot be more than correct, dear.. nothing beats hands-on experience
