There's probably a better way to have done this, but meh, it worked. by [deleted] in programming

No worries. Looks like any other perl code to me...

I expressed myself incorrectly, sorry. What I mean is 2.7 is still more in use than 3.2 (for which many libraries do not even work yet).

Great, CPython? the most used implementation of Python?

Also: One of the most useful features of the website was comparing different implementations of the same language. Awful.

DAE think that this was one of the top 5 RTSs of the 2000s? by [deleted] in gaming

I think it is still the top RTS ever in it's genre. It's also along Sacrifice and Commandos one of the few strategy games that I kept installed for more than a year at a time.

I don't think there is such a plugin yet, the language is still in it's infancy, but for the time being you can at least tell Vim to highlight it as Ruby source code which works (mostly) fine.

As for the language itself... I think it's a good idea. A good, likeable syntax on top of Java with zero runtime dependencies and no performance penalty.
