One day in Redmond[^].
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?

According to Randy California (guitarist with spirit, now deceased) his song was stolen by Led Zeppelin
The process has started today to judge if this is the case.
What's your verdict?
Spirit - Taurus[^]
vs
Led Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven[^]
I'd say it might possibly be inspired by, but I would not go as far as that it is a (reworked) copy of. Is "inspired by" also plagiarism? Looks like a gray area to me ...

Can't listen them due to draconian Internet rules in my company. But as you said inspiration is a tricky matter. Many people come to the same inspirations without even being aware of each other (many magic / roleplay ideas I had already existed very similar to mine but I discovered them later), other are inspired and so tend to be similar but in the minds of the creators they are completely different.
After all one can make a song thinking about his emotions, which are different from the song that inspired it and be a totally different thing... but a listener may have the same emotional reaction to both songs, notice the similarities (which are often generational, in each generation there are recurring rhythmic and melodical patterns or exploits) and think of plagiarism.

Totally agree. I can't believe there's no statute of limitations on this type of thing. Christ, Dennis Hastert could not be charged with abusing children 40 years ago, but some schmuck can sue 40 some years later over arguably the most popular rock song ever recorded? At this point I don't care if it has been ripped off or not.

"I'd say it might possibly be inspired by"
Considering they toured together before this, I'd say slightly higher than "possibly".

Led Zep paid up once.
In the US, "paying up" is a synonym for "creating a bandwagon".
There is, in the entire world, only one rap song string of noises. The guy who originally wrote it could spend the rest of his life suing everyone who copied it.

After this silly CP News about Scala, the new golden child[^]
I mused that I was definitely more excited by Go[^], Rust[^], D[^], if not for the lack of good Windows GUI library!
But lo and behold, there is an upcoming GUI library[^] for Rust!
I wouldn't call it good by any means... but I would call it possibly acceptable enough to give a closer curious look at rust for me! 
So I wonder, could anyone share their opinion about some all purpose interesting programming language (from system programming to user App), or the above (D, Rust, Go)?
It could be that C++ 17 is quite good.
My occasional musing with C++ in UWP quite pleased me.
What mostly annoyed me was the limited scope of UWP at the time (Windows 8: only fullscreen app, limited reflection, no unfeterred access to the file system, no easy way to use DataContract, WCF,... though perhaps WebAPI will be alright? didnt check at the time)
And anyway .. good UWP app are still limited to Windows 10... which is still kind of a problem for market penetration for now...

Have you looked at Skia: [^], [^] ?
I haven't been actively following what's happening with this renderer, but I noted with interest it uses PostScript style syntax.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008
