I'm working on a new language I am going to call C##.

As any musician will tell you, that is D.

Nah! Someone's already done "D". I'm basing mine on FORTRAN!

Noooooooooooooooooo! Wash your mouth out with SOAP!
FORTRAN (always in CAPS) is more like FƄ (F-flat).

Blogger is basically wrong. His assumption that one kind (family?) of languages is good for anything is the root problem when a project fails...
So compare C++ with F# is as bad as you can get it! All these languages have their advantages on different level and different fields, but you can't replace one with the other like switching socks... Telling that OO design is dead, just because we have more projects that point toward AI that has nothing with the strict frames of OO is so childish that I should smile over if it wasn't about misleading the upcoming generation...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Aren't they all? 
Of course you're right; saying that one language should be able to rule them all is just as wrong as the other post saying more languages are required. 
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

As we settle into a roughly bi-annual schedule for our programming language rankings, it is now time for the second drop of the year. For those who pick their programming language by popularity

The outliers on the graph are interesting - I can see that SQL and XML would appear in stackoverflow more often than github .. they are typically a small (troublesome) part of a project but why is "Common Lisp" so much more prevalent on GitHub than StackOverflow?

My guess is its use in university projects (by students more advanced than those in Q&A or StackOverflow).

Any real lisper would answer that it is because Lisp is so logical and easy that there is no need to ask any questions once you adopt it.

Are our brains wired for data overload? Is it overload? Intel, Microsoft, and Hewlett-Packard CEOs have some thoughts. Next up: the head of the pork council on, 'Are we eating too much bacon?'

Microsoft’s digital assistant, Cortana, is one of the most impressive of its kind, outperforming its competition on an iPhone and a Moto X even in its early preview state. In fact, the early buzz surrounding Cortana has forced Microsoft to consider whether or not it would be worth bringing Cortana to more platforms in the future. "Your architecture isn't much different from the Autumn's..."

What's the difference between Cortana and Seven - in my fantasy, not a lot!

How about they prove it, and release it to the windows phones first???
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Researchers under Tim Berners-Lee at MIT develop a new HTTP, dubbed HTTPA, a web protocol with accountability. Asking the people that can't set their Facebook security settings to secure their Web traffic? Yeah, that can't fail.

Microsoft has been forced to start using its global stock of IPv4 addresses to keep its Azure cloud service afloat in the U.S., highlighting the growing importance of making the shift to IP version 6. Why haven't we flipped the switch yet?

It was obviously the point of the ad campaign, they probably had to do hundreds of takes before the they got the one that actually turns on the console consistently.

That's a great point! I think you might be right because this is indeed getting publicity for them. But I would argue not so good publicity. If I owned one I would be a bit peeved every time that commercial came on.

Great find! The one thing we have learned from history is that we don't learn from history. I guess that motto applies very well in this scenario.
