Yesterday, I took my family to the Vancouver FC vs Langley United game.
I’ve never been to a Vancouver FC game because it’s far from where I live. But since we were in the neighbourhood anyway—and the weather was nice—I thought this would be a good way to spend a Sunday.
This was a pretty important match since it’s a Canadian Championship game, and the winner plays CF Montreal in the quarterfinals.
Langley United play in the BC Premier League, which is considered Tier 3 on the Canadian soccer pyramid. But you can’t take Tower 3 teams lightly. CS Saint-Laurent, which is a Tier 3 team beat Inter Toronto—and that was a game that also happened yesterday.
And that wasn’t the only upset so far this year. Atlético Ottawa beat Toronto FC just last week. So it’s been an awful month for Toronto #soccer this month.
Langley United did a great job against Vancouver FC. There were moments that I thought they could pull off an upset. But in the 2nd half, Vancouver FC got two goals.
It was a good time with my family. My wife got a hat and my daughter got a scarf. And they both love soccer.

The next #London #PerlMongers social will be lunch on Thursday the 1st of January at the Green Dragon, CR0 1NA. Hope to see some of you there! Not into perl? We don't care. #Rust, #Python, #BCPL, #MACRO11, #AmigaBASIC - we love 'em all.

@anselmschueler @simontatham and isn't B a cut down (and thus named after by truncation) #BCPL?

@mhd I was quite fond of Amiga #CLI syntax, which many did not consider a proper #Amiga subsystem because of #BCPL, but it allowed commands to pre-declare the arguments in a uniform, documented way similar to Python’s #argparse.
It’s actually handled by BCPL’s rdargs() function, documented in https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mr10/bcplman.pdf (p68).

I saw someone else do this, so I thought I should too ...
Languages I have used to write software for other people to use, in roughly chronological order: #BASIC #Z80assembler #Pascal #C #BCPL #MIPSassembler #LotusAmiproMacros 😃 #VisualBASIC #DataEase #SQL #Java #Javascript #Perl #BourneShell #bash #Postscript #Rust. It saddens me that I have never perpetrated #Forth or #Lisp for any other audience than myself. It doesn't sadden me that I have forgotten at least some of them due to lack of use.

The Machinists (#IAM) union, which represents Baltimore County Public Library (#BCPL) workers, is celebrating the passage of the Library Workers Empowerment Act, a milestone piece of legislation initiated by the IAM last year that will grant library staff across Maryland the right to organize

Always a pleasure to read this article (circa 1993) on the #history of #C by Dennis Ritchie – not sure why it’s on the front-page of #HackerNews today:
“The Development Of The C Language” (http://cm.bell-labs.co/who/dmr/chist.html).

@didier The best Amigas are where both kind of programs run perfect :)
I've also been known to lsl.l #2,d0 here and there, which almost everyone kept on hating...

I found a #SteelyDan CD at #BCPL which Discogs lists as "unofficial' as it was sourced from FM radio broadcasts in early days. After several listens, it dawned on me that Donald Fagan said Walter Becker was on bass and there were 2 other lead guitars including Jeffery "Skunk" Baxter. Might need to listen a few more dozen times.

@kroc Interesting ideas.
Many of the classic Forth techniques, such as compiling to threaded-code, using BLOCKs instead of a memory allocator, and producing a sea of callable functions instead of a closed binary, work in any language.
Instead of using #Forth as a base, it might be interesting to use #Oberon as a base (http://projectoberon.net/). That would give you an ALGOL-like language with strong types.
#BCPL is another possibility, more approachable than C, but maybe too weakly typed for your taste. One very impressive BCPL hobbyist project is https://projects.drogon.net/ruby/.
In your description of an ideal system, I also get strong #Smalltalk vibes, specifically its system-wide class browser that is basically a vat of building blocks ready for reuse in new programs. In this case, you'd want to take the idea and not the language, because Smalltalk tends not to fit well on small hardware.
