Hello, I wondered where I could find any free and preferably good tutorials about the D programming language.

I'm looking for a compiler or interpreter for a language with basic math support and File IO which can be executed directly from a memorystick in either Linux or Windows.

I know that the "native" language of programming is English, but I was wondering on how many programmers dare to write the development comments/documentation in a language other than English or on the contrary take extra burden of using English everywhere to make their code international.

I saw in a Dr Dobb's email report for 2008-12-29 that there's a new DSL (domain-specific language) for designing crypto systems. It is called Cryptol and is available from Galois.

Be fluent in ...
I am crafting an application and cannot decide whether to use the terms Login/out or Logon/off. Is there a more correct option between these two? Should I use something else entirely (like "Sign on/off"). In terms of usability, as long as I am consistent it probably doesn't matter which terms I choose, but I did wonder about the origins...
I'm interested in playing with assembler (again) as a diversion from high level languages like Smalltalk, and came across the Terse Assembler Site. The syntax looks quite interesting, and appears to be a useful development on Assembler Languages, but I was wondering if anyboy has used Terse in a real world project and did it offer adva...

If I were to implement a web application from scratch today, which app stack should I go for? Three main candidates are java, python and Ruby on Rails (RoR).
