Group answer so I don't blow up my HackerNews quota:

thrives/strives : yeah! thanks a lot, fixed now

wrong url in downloads: all fixed, thanks for reporting.

guess vs inferred: replaced.

why some things are prefix and some infix: that's the magic of covers. In "hi world" println(), it's the method String.println() which is called. In println("hi world"), it's a different function, e.g. println(String) which is called.

prank by ruby users: actually there seems to be a lot of interest from the ruby community =) maybe they're realizing you can have nice syntax without a VM.

Objective C && ooc: that's been mentioned on #ooc-lang, it would be very interesting for iPhone development, definitely something to explore =)

sorry about the delay, I've got more traffic than I can handle right now =)

EDIT 1: fixed syntaxic/syntactic. Damn me and my French background ;) thanks for reporting

EDIT 2: I love the comparison "ooc is to C as Scala is to Java." Seems very fit =)



Minor question: what's the RSS feed for the blog?

Safari lists two:

  feed://ooc-lang.org/feed.php
and

  feed://ooc-lang.org/feed.php?mode=list&ns=
The former one appears to be empty and the latter one doesn't appear to include blog posts (or at least it includes a lot of other stuff; I'm not sure). It would be nice to have a regular RSS just for the blog for us non-Twitter-aficionados.


There is one actually, (and now I must reveal the ugly blog hack I made to integrate wordpress with DokuWiki), http://ooc-lang.org/blogbackend/?feed=rss2

It should probably be linked on the website. Lemme fix that.

EDIT: Added link to rss and atom feeds on the blog.


You also have "syntaxic" in a number of places when you want "syntactic" :)

Looks very cool!
