Microsoft's Skype will eventually be able to translate voice calls between people. In an on-stage demo at the Code conference today, Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella showed off Skype Translator, an upcoming version of the service that is capable of translating voice conversation in "near real-time" using technology developed by the company's Skype and Translator teams. With it, you can talk in your native language to another user who speaks a different language, and Microsoft will translate it to the other person. "Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation."

Is it as good as the IDE?
The one that installs it updates in a completely different folder than the installation-path?

He missed the case when declaring variable without var - that's one is my favorite...

Digital personal assistants today can help you send messages, place phone calls, schedule meetings or find answers from the Internet.
But there’s evidence that all the major tech giants are investing heavily in artificial intelligence to try and make digital assistants do a whole lot more helpful. "With so many idiots working on the problem, no wonder consciousness is still a mystery. "

We’ve been busy building the foundations to a project that we want to see as the basis for a lot of future work here at JetBrains. Now that we feel we’ve reached a minimum viable feature set, as well as a good architectural base for future development, we’re very happy to take the next steps on our roadmap, and release Nitra as an Open Source project.

I think you snipped too much.
Quote: What is Nitra?
As a reminder, Nitra is a framework for the next generation of language tooling.
Unless you read jetbrain's blog religiously and have a very good memory (it's been over half a year since they mentioned it), you'd have no idea what it is or why you should care.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
