1. "Programming is Life" Series

Hi all,

Not much happening for about 22 hours now, possibly (great word) because of
TopicA non-forward of email, or maybe just a statistical clump of inaction, or
maybe some weird effect of Hurricane Katrina.  So here's some
pseudo-philosophical filler deriving from the delicate mental state that follows
having the thought: "programming is life"...

--in god1.e
global constant NOTHING = 0
--in god2.e
global constant NOTHING = -1

--Believer.ex
include god.e
include god2.e
--Note god2.e is here auto-modified for compatibility, unless author2>author1

--bunch of routines, declares, defines here

while not equal(Universe,NOTHING) do
    self=BeBorn(parents)--wow!
    self-state=HaveUniqueSubsetExperiences(allPossibleExperiences,self)--duck!
    self-mind=FormUniqueMentalStates(allPossibleMentalStates, self)--you dog!
    self=RandomLethalEvent(unfairnessOfItAll,self)--bummer
self=PrepareForRebirth(NebulousVaguelyMoralEvents,self)--good luck on this
    one
    universe=ArrowOfTimeUpdate(universe)--time separates breakfast and dinner
end while

BOOM()

Undeclared variable 'self.' Universe destroyed.

Thanks ck,

But notice the handy line:
> > --bunch of routines, declares, defines here

That covers all sins of omission...  However, I did mean to write:
include god1.e rather than include god.e  Does this mean the generative forces
of the universe needed the services of a good debugger before shipping the
product?

Rob, can we get that functionality for Euphoria? Thanks. 8D

To quote Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek TNG: "The universe is not so badly
designed!"

Hi, David,

Long time no see, but quite cool to see now.

Question: does MUME, TinyOS, NesC, etc. mean anything to you?  A fellow with the
same name as yours has been active on things computerish, MUD-ish and advanced
programming-ish at Berkeley for some time now.

But whatever you've been doing, it's good to see your name on the forum again. 
I went through your tutorial once, and could profit from going through it again.
