A Hammond B-3 weighed 425 lbs, not sure what the Leslie speaker you'd want would add to that.
A Mellotron would have been a lot lighter, but I wonder how temperature differences touring during the winter would have messed up the tapes.
I wonder if recording the signal on the edges of wheels would have worked better...

What single structure or specific operator better defines a given language? As an example, I was thinking of:
C *
C++ - vector
C# - List
Java - arrays
Any other languages or thoughts?

Python: a tab and three spaces just to annoy people.

How big is the tab? Like a bar tab?
|
|
|
|
|
Python 3 doesn't allow mixing tabs and spaces though
But I really wish they had gone with tabs as the preferred option rather than spaces
Cheers,
Vikram.

Maybe there should be an option, perhaps something like strict .

These days "." has mutated to "=>". And not in a good way. Like it's been infected with Prolog, or F# or something.

My first take on programming language identifiers (not exhaustive by any means)
C *
C++ *
COBOL ADD
COBOL PIC
FORTRAN do
ALGOL begin
PL/I BEGIN
GO func

I'd suggest that rather than the List<T> class, C# should be the string class or possibly the whole Generics system itself.

No generics in v1.
System.String is dreadful, the unavoidability of immutability is a very short-sighted (ivory tower) idea. They had to include StringBuilder just to make things work. It would be better for strings to be mutable by default and then be able to set them as immutable later as needed -- mystring.AsReadOnly() or mystring.ReadOnly = true
Bleah, ptui.

And no vector in C++ V1 either ... languages improve!
But string isn't too bad - it's not perfect, but it is way, way better than the char* / const char * mess that preceded it.

Then it's not the same language.

Without digging I suspect the string limitation is for the same reason as in Java in that it is not only fundamental to the language but to the VM. Certainly in Java that is the case. If is was mutable then it would lead to problems, in the VM, about things like security and performance.

rhetorical mode on...
Then explain how StringBuilder works.
Or, better... yet what underlies the VM does not have such a limitation; the VM is written in a language which doesn't rely on the VM. So your point should be more addressed as "why did they choose to implement the VM that way?"
Yes, I understand that something like the .net framework has names of things and names of things must not be mutable, that's perfectly understandable. But making all string values immutable -- particularly values used by an application -- is hitting the issue with too big a hammer.
I'm not qualified to say, but it seems to me that a VM and framework could be implemented such that a string value will be mutable until it is set to immutable, even if that is at compile time.
