Hi,
Learning a programming language is not easy, but have you tried learning a
human language? You don't have a compiler to tell you when you make a
syntax error. You have a lot more words and rules and a lot more exceptions
than in a programming language. Mostly however, the lack of quick feedback
is what makes it hard. However, after a few months work you start to be
able to speak to people in their native language.
As you might have read I've started to learn Ladino - the language spoken
by the Jews who were expelled from the Iberian peninsula more than 500
years ago. It is a mix of medieval Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French,
Turkish, Serb, Arabic, and Hebrew. It is a fantastic exercise and it
involves programming as well. Join me!
Something else: In Israel every Saturday evening, once the Shabbat ends,
and throughout Sunday people say 'have a good week'. Referring to the week
that starts on Sunday, the first day of our work-week. I don't recall ever
hearing that or anything similar in Hungary. Not even on Sunday or Monday.
I wonder, do you use any similar expression in whatever country and
language environment you live in? Let me know and...
Have a good week!

this is the first time for many years that I have seen any fund-raising
