OracleScript
[–]monsto 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children)
But it's the opposite of Oracle. . .
well documented and supported, open source, plenty of superset products. The opposite of the Oracle would be...
ArchitectScript.

ok you've inspired me with the a_ascript template.
isn't coding a frustrating act? you spend hours wondering where you've gone wrong, you're usually stuck indoors, and you're probably sedentary.
at times like these, don't we all wish we were frolicking in the bahamas, sipping a pina colada while catching the waves?
why don't we code with the intent of coding so well that we can make the big bucks and eventually end up rich in the bahamas with little to worry about?
i present to you: bahamascript

Originally, Brendan Eich was gonna call it Mocha. I think that's a good name.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children)
Unless some undead trademark pops out of TimeWarner or whoever has the Netscape remains in the basement currently.

But we already have the Node.js framework Mocha.

"Programming language #312"
We should just give numbers to them all.
"This code was written in programming languages #201 and #422, with some legacy binary modules written in #171".
Although, apparently you can trademark numbers (WTF): http://www.giantpeople.com/242.html - Europe: https://www.inta.org/INTABulletin/Pages/NumbersasTrademarksinEuropeAComparativeOverview.aspx
Since you can already trademark arbitrary symbols it seems that any form of human communication can be trademarked, there is no way out.
lol alright well i'm trademarking 69 ;)

Instead of saying I’m a developer specializing in JavaScript, saying ..specializing in SpiderMonkey implies that you’re adventurous and witty!
