Just wanted to quickly add that I am in no way trying to steal the thunder from this news, just referencing where my brain had gone.
All that aside, this looks like an incredible language to use for some of my own projects. I have always been a fan of text based adventures, and have played MUD's off and on for at least 25 years at this point. Maybe I can put this language to good use. :)
Maybe I'm just old at this point, but I honestly thought this was a reference to Inkscape which had it's v1.0 about a year ago, and I became very confused.
Why didn’t the integrated circuit happen before Bob Noyce and his team released it when we had been using all the raw components in some form for a long time?
Things aren’t required to occur 100% of the time just because the raw bits are there. Sometimes these things take time.
Uh, does the author never update their “old” computer? The article makes it seem like the only time they update software packages is by doing a fresh install with a new computer.
I am quite saddened by this news. EverQuest meant a great deal to me for a long time. I made a lot of (so far) lifelong friendships in EverQuest. Truly a remarkable game designed by a visionary.
