[ANN] Falcon - powering innovation

[Kless]

If anybody is interesed in new technologies, you'll love this new
language called Falcon [1], which has been open sourced ago little
time.

Falcon is a scripting engine ready to empower mission-critical
multithreaded applications. It provides six integrated programming
paradigms: procedural, object oriented, prototype oriented,
functional, tabular and message oriented. You use what you prefer.

To know more about its design, read the interview to the Falcon author
that has published ComputerWorld Australia [2].

"Mission-critical" and "empower" sound like a good start for bullshit
bingo

I've never heard of tabular programming before.

All I need is "synergy", "paradigm", or "please advise" and I've won!

Oh, wait...BINGO!

I've never heard of tabular programming before.

I think that's a violation of PEP-8...doesn't that suggest using
spaces instead of tabs? Or maybe your code goes in a table, so
it's "programming with Excel"?

And only six programming paradigms? What about "buzzword
oriented"? And how about "declarative oriented" for the Prolog
refugees? Pshaw...and you (OP) suggest it's multiparadigmatic?

And this table should make you even more interested in Falcon (also
called THE BEST PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE EVAR):

Yes, it's a proven fact that Falcon is better than Python, Ruby, Perl,
Lua, PHP, C or Lisp. This is a table of truth!
But I have one important question about Falcon:
Does it have ponies?

I've never heard of tabular programming before.

I guess something similar/related to SQL or LINQ?

I don't think this is really a bad idea if you want to support
sublanguages for common programming problems... (which seems to be one of
their primary language design ideas).
