Just had my mind going today. I spent some time in IE debug mode, browsing the web as usual, and oh boy do I see many errors :) Most of these errors are because some value are of a different type than expected (at least as far as I interpret the error messages). What are the reasons JavaScript and similar scripting languages aren't stro...
Hi. I'm looking for a programming language. It should be an easy language to learn, and should have a Garbage Collector. It should be a basic language with features like basic types (integer, boolean), arrays and etc, and I should write the framework. It is for a game editor I want to write.

i notice that Java has a number of ancillary scripting languages. Clojure and Groovy for example. My understanding is that these can be used when the full might and power of Java does not need to be applied and a speedy cludge can be hacked in Groovy/Clojure. But at the end of the day the scripting tools contribution gets compiled into t...
As PHP is simpler for me I wished to benchmark algorithms in it for fun, and I chose to do factorials. The recursive function completely flunked in speed when I got up to 80! compared to the iterative method, and it gradually skyrocketed upwards while iterative had a steady line, actually it is something like this (x = factorial, y = se...
