I'm pleased people have gt something out of the opening cahoter of TBoS. But the book was never designed to be read online, except as a preview and a quick lookup/reminder of featu…

It wasn't at all what I was expecting. The thread actually opened with a conversation on post-WWII British aircraft manufacturing of all things and got in automated reasoning. Chat…

What happens when a scientist spends a week in continuous, serious dialogue with an artificial intelligence — and finds their health, their thinking, and even their loyalties chang…

Yggdrasil allows for the generation of type secure stand-alone native language programs from Shen source programs. We are pleased to announce the release of Yggdrasil 1.0 which has…

I skimmed these responses, I'd say that most of them are the result of not reading the material in the essay or nit-picking or ad hominem remarks. I really tried to find something …

I'm afraid you don't really understand licenses. A license like BSD gives you the rights to distribute the software subject to certain provisions. It does not give you the right to…

Your understanding is wrong I'm afraid. You cannot license software you have not written or over which you have no ownership. It is unfortunate that some people believe that the BS…

Harold is I'm afraid bullshitting you. I really have to say lying , because at this stage there is no other word to use. Check for yourself, the files are all 3 clause BSD.

> There was no prior discussion that I can remember Actually, Harold, you are either very stupid or have Alzheimer's or are a liar. In fact there was a very long discussion, initia…

Again Harold, a falsehood. Since you have contributed to two threads with the same misinformation, I'll make this clear, not for you, but for everybody else. Shen is under BSD and …

Yes, it does Harold and this is not the first or probably the last time you have placed misinformation about the Shen project online. All the files have the same standard 3 clause …

A small change to a large body of work does not give you copyright over the work itself. no matter how original your change is. At most only over the change itself. Stallman's stat…

If you want to see the tests that are currently used; they are in the source code download. http://www.shenlanguage.org/Download/download.html See Test Programs/Readme.shen

I'll also add that I'll be asking for volunteer contributions on the Shen news group to help assemble this test suite. So people who want to expedite us here can do so.

Not really the same. That's rather like saying because I have a chassis and some wheels and an engine piled in the garage, I have a car. They have to be connected together in the r…

I'll let others judge the originality of Shen. I would say that the performance of Shen is very much a function of the platform and the person who did the port. The Merlin compiler…

The license was introduced before Shen was issued in September 2011 (the license came out in June) and for a year or so the only specification was Shendoc (now Shendoc 16). The und…

The issue here was not that the port was closed; but that people helped to build it and gave their time for free on the assumption it was going to be free and readable. My post htt…

Shen is a programming language designed to replace Qi II over the next two years. For those of you not in the know, Qi is a language implemented on top of Common Lisp which uses se…
