Don't. You're making me wistful for my Forth days.

What about D?
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

While D is good in many of the spots where C++ is appropriate - the choice of GC by default means that it is unsuited to areas with hard realtime or space requirements.
It is possible to avoid this, but loses many of the benefits of D.

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

Careful with that - it looks sharp.

As any musician will tell you, that is D.

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

Quote: So, F# 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.

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.
