I am open to this as long as it is indeed a unique language with unique characteristics (and not a subset of C or C++, for example). However, my main hesitation is that creating a forum is, often times, … |
 | Re: Ad overflowing Should be fixed. Unfortunately it had to wait for me to wake up and make it over to the computer to notice the problem. |
