Re: RNG Test: Code to generate Diehard file in Euphoria
Irv, you've been most helpful in getting my business application coded in U4
and i appreciate it [im about 60% done; dreading the rest, because im still
not comfortable with U4's rules/syntax, documentation[lol]].
... by definition, ALL 'languages' have their limitations/rules ... due to
their inherent syntax/logic. Im NOT trying to flame anybody, but IMHO, U4
currently, is a 'hobby/game' language, w/limited capabilities to handle
'real world' applications. [Review this forum's comments.] In the 70's, i
investigated developing a 'data-oriented' language like U4 and found the
trade-offs to be to 'costly', for that time [perhaps thats why im trying U4
now???]
Like life, a language must evolve to meet the needs [of its users] ... or
perish. And RDS's 'new' challenge is making 'tough' choices: balancing
performance [speed and simplicity], with functionality [ease of use and
inherent capabilities].
Good luck RDS!
PS: 'non frustrating programming language' ... hmmmmm ... lol... anybody
remember IBM BAL? Sure 'i' had to code everything [or write a macro], but
'i' could do any/everything ... and with a minimum of concern for the
language, i was 'freed' to handle the logic of the concern before me ...
