What a great option to have! All of the good parts of Pascal and non of the baggage

Such a loss! I like many others was captivated by this show. How many future IT industry professionals did Stewart inspire I wonder? Has to be thousands. A great legacy.

Still my favorite show to put in the background while I code.

ah my home state. Many people here just have lost faith in science and the elites and just believe whatever political junk they are watching. Somehow letting your kid get measles is owning the libs. I don't understand it but am content to just watch it play out after many fruitless conversations. Eventually when enough bad things happen they'll hopefully come back to their senses.

A previewer for Sierra which is an XML based DSL for Java Swing (not by me, but by Greg Brown)

https://github.com/HTTP-RPC/Sierra

I like the ability to declare UIs and the layout manager that Sierra has is the only sane layout manager for Swing I have worked with

Wow, this UI looks amazing. I'm going to go check the app out but what did you use to get a Swing app to look so nice?

This is awesome! Headed to try it out now.

I am so happy to see Java catching up to Python in this space. This project, langchain4j, dflib, echarts java, etc

After so many years as a Java dev my brain thinks in classes so not having classes or exceptions made it a constant struggle. Nothing against Go, more about me.

to answer my own question - poking through this list looks like QB64 would do it but also seems they split into 2 projects - QB64 and QB64PE

Yes, I'd really like to use a basic that is open source but cross platform and compiles to executable. I'm not sure such a thing exists tho!

Congrats for sticking with it! Taking a look

This is the best explanation I have seen.

I have to disagree here. For all it's faults there is a very robust ecosystem of libraries to choose from.

I worked at a startup that used it. Great performance, easy to hire for, library for everything. This was 5 years ago so the .net core story wasn't as good then.
