Are there any plans by the maintainers to get off of SourceForge? I realize it doesn't have the risk of distributing binaries, but still, any time I see SourceForge now it's a huge red flag.
PLEAC is a good resource as long as you watch out for the Blub paradox. “But when our hypothetical Blub programmer looks in the other direction, up the power continuum, he doesn't realize he's looking up. What he sees are merely weird languages. He probably considers them about equivalent in power to Blub, but with all this other hairy stuff thrown in as well.” [http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?BlubParadox]
Looks like SF is falling apart, every link I try from the PLEAC home page gives me a guru meditation error. Pity, because it sounds like a worthwhile resource, a shame too because SF used to be so good. This is the sort of thing that really should be on some kind of distributed file system so that it is not beholden to any one organization. I could give some space and a few kB/s of bandwidth.
This is awesome. I've never heard of PLEAC before but it's exactly what I want to see when starting a new language. Idioms and best practices are much easier to grasp when factoring out superficial differences.
