I must confess, however, that I've been sorely tempted by some of Griff's weekly IoT recommendations.

If you include smart kitchen appliances, smart light bulbs, smart doors, smart windows, smart garden watering, etc., I can see how you'd pass the limit. You'd have to be a serious IoT-head, though.

Yeah just going all in on smart lightbulbs in a large home or even a medium sized one with a bunch of multi-bulb fixtures could do it.

The companies say they will dismiss all pending litigation worldwide. How about we skip this, and both go mess with Intel?

The Bosque programming language is designed for writing code that is simple, obvious, and easy to reason about for both humans and machines. [NOT IMPLEMENTED YET]
Looks pretty C-ish, but more simple.

I will be damned for this for sure, but, I have raised the following issue on the GIT site:Quote: Clearly, great progress has been made towards inscrutability, but there are still areas where increased semantic obtuseness can be attained. The use of even a few standard operators ... from the C/C++/C# canon ... like the assignment operator, can be made much more difficult to use.
How about: <= makevar ::string:: => ~some string~
The use of Greek letters from APL could also be considered.

I'm not sure what the point of this is. It doesn't appear to be a joke/troll language; but at the same time I'm not seeing anything obviously innovative in 30 seconds of looking at its code.

function add2(x: Int, y: Int): Int {
Any language that requires a ":" to separate the variable name and the type, and the type has to be cap-first-letter, requiring me to hit the shift key, is out. And I mean like, kicked out the door with my foot up...

1) Student invents another computer language
2) Company hires student
3) Student insists on publishing his/her toy (code named Giant Waste of Time).
4) Company rolls eyes and tells them to put it GitHub
Step 5 should be: Company tells employee to stop wasting everyone's time and do actual work
6) Computer language is quietly abandoned

And, how the hell is
function add2(x: Int, y: Int): Int more clear than
int add2(int x, int y) Did April 1 arrive again without me paying attention?

Well, if they did it like everyone else, there'd hardly be any reason for the language right? 
Something that should have stopped them when they started this project.

If they were really up to the task, the syntax would be more like:
freestanding function called add that takes an int called x and an int called y which returns an int:
return x plus y.

Of at least I think that's closer to the bilge osmo was peddling.

My latest: I knew this section would be asynchronous, but not this asynchronous.
Or, after demoing the latest:
"Why isn't it spinning?"
"What are you talking about?"
"This is supposed to spin."
"Since when? It didn't in the reference video."
"Well, it was supposed to."

Mostly because users want one button to press that does everything for them. To them they think all they asked for was one simple button, how hard can that be, but we have to code that one button to do every task in the right order, and make sure they don't press it at the wrong time or place to save them from themselves.

OK, you seriously need to study UX before you even touch a keyboard to write code again.
