Did you install a VPN such as Proton ? I had an issue were it messes with Window's network configuration (eg : create rules to use their DNS that overwrites user configurations) and it was a nightmare to remove. Not saying it is the reason but i'd like to know.
Hi all:
Wanting to contribute to the wiki here: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki
When I follow the 'help' hyperlink outlining how to start contributing it takes me to an index of all pages, none of which is help!!
What is this idiot doing wrong? Please help!
Honestly, I'm not convinced that optimizing a programming language primarily for absolute beginners is as beneficial as it sounds. Python followed a similar philosophy, but learning to program well is vastly harder than learning a handful of keywords. Any design tradeoff that makes the language slightly easier during the first week, at the cost of making it less expressive or more awkward for experienced users over the following years, seems questionable.
Nowadays, if the goal is to let people write programs in natural language, LLMs already provide a much more flexible solution. You can describe the program in your own language and have the model translate it into an established programming language. That avoids permanently baking "natural language" compromises into the language itself.
Python is an example of the downside of prioritizing beginner friendliness too much. The core language is simple, but once you start doing more advanced things, many features feel like workarounds layered on top of the original design. The result is code that can actually become harder to read and reason about than languages that were designed with more consistency and long-term scalability in mind.
