Re: Where have all the Pikers gone?
Being new to Pike, when I first looked at the Pike Hello World program, the syntax, at first glance, reminded me most of the D language which also uses 'write' and a somewhat similar 'std.stdio'. 鸞 Cheers, Gary On Fri, May 20, 2022 at 8:41 PM Chris Angelico wrote: > On Sat, 21 May 2022 at 09:42, chikega wrote: > > > > I’m a new learner.

Re: Where have all the Pikers gone?
1. I’m a new learner. It's interesting to see results on Google Trend comparing various high-level programming languages like Perl, PHP, Ruby, Lua. When I punch in 'Pike programming language', I get this: "Hmm, your search doesn't have enough data to show here." :-/ https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all=US=lua,ruby,Perl,PHP Cheers, Gary On Fri, May 20, 2022 at 1:28 PM Duke Normandin wrote: > On Sat, 21 May 2022 00:02:17 +1000 > Chris Angelico wrote: > > > > My Twitch channel bot runs its own web interface, if that counts. > > > > https://sikorsky.rosuav.com/ > > > > I take advantage of Pike features to run that site with real-time > > updates (via websockets) that slide to the latest code every time > > I do an update (even without reconnecting the socket).
