Speaking of Press ...Googles new Language GO -> has been getting a ton of press, I know literally _NOTHING_ about it.<br>
<br>
Mr. Mol -> We use R along-side several round-robin databases for
lots of E-commercy things, where the input is based on the ouput, but
then again modifies the input.<br>
Differential Calculus... essentially.. It would take a weeks worth of headaches to do the things R does in a single line of code. <br>Matlab (maybe you've heard of it) is an implementation of S and R statistical languages.<br>
<br>lols @ pseudo code...<br><br>I had a professor in college that would literally grade me down because he worked for IBM and when I would write Pseudo Code I didn't write EOF checks/statements nor would I define a main() -> he said this was "Unacceptable Pseudo-Code"<br>
Apparently everything I learned off the internet was unacceptable... (darn)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 11:33 AM, Michael Mol <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mikemol@gmail.com">mikemol@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Maintainability is having something work for so long, you forgot you<br>
ever wrote/built it. :)<br>
<br>
(Only semi-serious; It's rarely possible to not have design requirements<br>
shift out from under you.)<br>

Code...The phrase "My pseudocode is written in language X", in various<br>
langauges. For example:<br>
