Hello Kirby, i took a very brief look at your
http://worldgame.blogspot.com/2012/10/dot-notation-again.html.
There does not appear to be any way to comment at the above link.
there, i noticed your "More SQL too while we're at it" ..
imho, i think the time has come for less SQL via more LINQ.
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
LINQ is from the house that Bill built, however, see
http://www.linqpad.net/WhyLINQBeatsSQL.aspx
GOTO http://www.linqpad.net/ for a FREE awesome tool that also does SQL,
including
LINQ <==> SQL translation in some cases.
PL/I died because it came from IBM and people hated IBM ...
ergo, the PL/I baby was tossed out with the bath water.
LINQ in spite of coming from "the evil empire" will not die
imho because LINQ has too much inertia and is also too good.

i've mentioned this long time ago in one of the python forums
with regards to OLPC ...
Kirby, your http://worldgame.blogspot.com/2012/10/dot-notation-again.html
brings to mind iverson's "Notation as a Tool of Thought" wherein he quotes
Whitehead:
"By relieving the brain of all unnecessary work,
a good notation sets it free to concentrate on more advanced problems, and
in effect increases the mental power of the race."
i suggest that the tool for the notation be iverson's J
(http://www.jsoftware.com/);
i suggest also that J can be taught K-12 (assuming we can teach teachers to
teach, period*).
* a period is also a dot.
