OpenBSD 5.2 released
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sat 3rd Nov 2012 00:35 UTC
OpenBSD Theo de Raadt has announced the release of OpenBSD 5.2. The OpenBSD 5.2 release page has a detailed list of all changes and improvements. As always, I would love for someone to write proper items about OpenBSD releases - it's outside my interests and cursory glances don't do it justice.

Regrettably, ctrl+f of all major and some minor (Sami especially always seems one nice little language & people) Finno-Ugric languages in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-English-based_programming_language... didn't come up with anything. :/

However, you might be even more interested in 丙正正 (Chinese C++), Farsi.NET, HPL, Dolittle (some Japanese edu language, charming name ;) ...personal note here: Fjölnir name sounds kinda epic), or var'aq (Klingon...)

And that's even before getting into "Languages based on symbols instead of keywords" or "Modifiable parser syntax" ...Klingon Perl? As if Perl alone wasn't enough? ;)


PS. Generally, quite many French ones, what about that? ;p
And OMZ, GOTO++?! If that's what I think it is, it could be... brilliant ;)
But seriously, with relative prevalence of Chinese on that list, one might wonder if that's not a song of things to come in ~computing...

At some point in the 80s, our government decided that investing in computer science was critical and brought massive amounts of Thomson MO5 and TO7/70 computers to middle schools, together with new programmes that featured programming courses.

Might be a remainder of that era, or just misplaced nationalism.

Object-oriented GOTOs ? How would that work ? ;)

Like, tonal programming languages and 7% less female programmer births per year? Well, sucks... ;)

Hm, you most likely fared better than my place:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mera-Elzab_Meritum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ZX_Spectrum_clones#Elwro_800_J... (epic casing ;> )

...and I haven't even seen either of them, ever. Nor any computer classroom before the PC era. Generally, probably another examples of economic cargo cults (~"developed countries produce lots of steel? Well then let's do lots of steel!"), quite prevalent in Warsaw Pact economies. The was no educational system to it, no real push.

Object-oriented GOTOs ? How would that work ? ;)

Exactly, the idea sounds crazy enough!(?) ;>

Only 7% less would be a major improvement, me thinks...

But seriously, I mean generally how the Chinese supposedly strive for technology independence (also check out Loongson) - with their expanding sphere of influence, this should push their tech more and more over time. And language.
