Good question, nothing is more important than community building. But I wouldn't want most people from SaidIt in my community. I don't want anything to do with modern scum (members of depraved modern western culture).

I run a weekly Online Old Testament Readings. This is a small group.

I have been traveling to find where best to have a good physical community, and I found this. Now I will encourage people to visit and consider moving there.

I would love to have a good open source programming community, but the problem is that almost all programmers are modern scum. For now I have this forum and I have developed a programming language and Java library that I could contribute to such a community. Since basically all of humanity is currently worthless scum incapable of writing good code, my plan is to teach Mexican Mennonites to program and have them become good programmers.

Aside from complexity, what about other desirable features of programming languages: for instance speed or low-level access? Fortran is still used for a reason. Could you program an OS in LUAN?

Also, you use the phrase Old Testament, but do you believe in the New Testament?

A programming language should be optimized for one programming domain. Luan is good for application programming. Java is good for writing libraries. A programming language designed for application programming doesn't have to worry much about speed or low-level access. With that said, Luan is one of the fastest application programming languages (untyped languages) around.

I am not Christian. I like Jesus but I don't believe in the supernatural parts of the New Testament. I specifically follow (and study) the Old Testament.

You have any luck finding a new forum?

[–]fschmidt 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

No. I even offered to fund someone to develop one, but no takers.

We have a Sessions group chat about trying to find a new forum. I mentioned you because I remembered you writing about that. I'd like to add you. I'm pretty sure you don't like me or the kind of person I am from your writings but I think we want the same thing ultimately and we would both benefit despite being rather opposed in views. Or maybe because of it. Don't we both want a forum where opposing views won't be silenced?

My latest thoughts on forums are here. If this seems in line with what you want, then sure I would be interested in talking more. I don't know what Sessions is and I avoid chat since I mostly work during the week, but I can try it.
