I'm a native of TheNetherlands. Languages I speak are:
- DutchLanguage (native)
- EnglishLanguage (with a heavy Dutch accent)
- CeeLanguage, CeePlusPlus
- PhpLanguage, TclLanguage, a little PerlLanguage, JavaLanguage
- VhdlLanguage
- LabView (though I really want to recycle those neurons)
I'm also trying to be a LanguageDesigner.
My email address is: wouter (on) irdc (dot) nl (though I may not respond to email; I'm generally busy).
Wiki pages I've started:
What are your objectives as a language designer? I ask this question in all the ways it can be interpreted.
Well, I've grown tired of C/C++, don't really like Java and figured I should probably try designing something myself. I'm specifically going for something that can be compiled and is powerful enough to replace C in almost all situations (possibly excluding OS-programming). Languages I find inspirational are:
- CeeLanguage (the way it manages to be at least usable almost everywhere)
- LabView (not the layout, but the DataFlowProgramming concepts)
- TclLanguage / LispLanguage (the extensibility and utter simplicity of the core language)
- HaskellLanguage (syntax and semantic issues of user-defined operators)
- SmalltalkLanguage (the daring attitude of the designers)
I'm the current record holder of delurking to all-out FlameWar.
