For the first time in a while, this release focuses on adding some significant new features to Knockout. The "not a Microsoft product" continues to improve

Imagine a typeface that unites all the world’s languages. A publisher could print a book in Arabic, Cherokee, Egyptian Hieroglyphics and more—all without swapping out fonts. One font to control them, etc. etc. etc.

Is it the Esperanto font?

I don't see a mono-spaced version suitable for programming.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. I guess I stick with Consolas for now.

Is Google trying to replace Unicode, or is the idiot who wrote that confused by the difference between Unicode and fonts that support it?
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?

It's more they're building a single font family that actually support all the possible Unicode ranges, to avoid all the 'white boxes' a lot of fonts have for characters.

Quote: Google has already taken on an enormous effort, but one way it could attempt to improve cultural sensitivity toward global languages would be to support languages that even Unicode has overlooked. NPR used the example of Nastaʿlīq Urdu, a type of calligraphic script used in famous Urdu poetry. Right now, the only way to share it online is through image files.
So RW is full of elephant droppings then, since that comment in particular is only possible if they're replacing unicode...

Are you shocked? Every tech news site is pretty hit-or-miss with stuff like this.

Consider it part of my ongoing campaign to convince the powers that be that consistency of quality is more important than consistency of shared articles.

If I only shared 100% factual and 100% accurate posts, you might only get one a week. (Less if you add, "of interest to 100% of the readers")

During a LinuxCon panel discussion, Linus Torvalds provides insight into what works and what doesn't with Linux in 2014. And I'd like a million dollars and a warm snickerdoodle, but I don't think that's going to happen either

Avail is a multi-paradigmatic general purpose programming language whose feature set emphasizes support for articulate programming. Because you've been good, here's a new programming language to play with
Besides, who _doesn't_ want to be multi-paradigmatic?

I don't! 
I am happy with the .NET framework and C# to work with, it's enough for me to be a professional at any 5 languages of my choice, and I have got them, C#, Java and C++, I know I know, 2 left but I am looking for something good!

Oh yeah! ^_^ I forgot to add that to the list. I do love SQL, I can express myself even better
SELECT * FROM Girls WHERE Cheeks = 'Pinky' AND Height = '5.7' AND Age BETWEEN 18 AND 22
I don't know, why I missed my 4th favourite language! Actually it's the third, because C++ comes later.

All languages support that; the good ones don't enforce it.
