and started looking at Smalltalk.
Downloaded the Squeak/Smalltalk[^] IDE and associated docs.
I've heard a lot about Smalltalk in the past but didn't think much of it, but after kicking the tires I am really impressed. The Squeak IDE is very powerful and I think I might try a small project and see how it goes.

I watched a video posted here last week about SmallTalk/Squeak...interesting, but I don't have the time. Good luck!

Yes ... it's the lights slowly turning off...

After a week of pouring over code, and working closely with the authors of two different projects whose source I incorporated into mine, I've finally got my new graphics library running on IoT:
"BengalLovinAss" is the name of a fellow moderator at a site I moderate.[^]
I made a png for her using my lib, and then some smart aleck decided to tell me to put it on a cheap low resolution TFT.
Well I tried. The ESP32 threw a stack tantrum. I massaged the code for another day, and this is the result.
I feel like I just trekked through a mountain range.

Anyone know of a site where we can at least setup a group and stay in touch - I think it's very inconsiderate of whoever is running the show to leave us in the dark like this. WE ARE FAMILY

Is groups.io anything like what you're thinking of? A couple of mailing lists I was on moved there when yahoo killed groups.

If CP disappears at some point, I'm am hoping that it will be after I've disappeared. 
Though I agree, it would be nice to hear from the new leadership as to the future of CP.

I don't know how you do it with just two letters in the wrong place - are you psychic ?

I can't even read my own mind ... 
Today was lucky: I use three words to cover all vowels (plus Y) and the most common consonants - if I get no green or yellow on the first word, I try the second. (I play in "hard mode" which prevents me entering words without letters I've already discovered)
Today, I got a vowel and a consonant, so I looked for a word containing them plus another vowel with common consonants - and I was very lucky!
You understand I'm trying really hard to not give hints here?

And that was over-confidence after a good start. Abandoned letter finding and went straight into word guessing on the second try. My last guess was lucky as there were still several possibilities.

The main reason I prefer C++ over C is template** and constexpr. Recently they've added constexpr to the latest C standard, but I don't know how deep it goes - if it's as functional as it is in C++.
I have very little reason to use C++ otherwise. I'd actually prefer things if I wasn't dealing with classes with things like non-trivial constructors, destructors, and assignment operators.
Why?
Because RAII isn't very practical without exceptions, and if you're working with multiple different heaps at runtime.
I actually like C's simplicity, but dislike the preprocessor. I'd much prefer something typed, and with specializations and recursion.
** They'd have to allow template function specializations, or allow static functions in template structures in order to be particularly useful though. Not sure which route they'd take.

Interesting, but not for the reason you think. I just checked the moderation queue and three messages there were latched onto your post.

I found CodeProject.com after evaluating several other similar sites. You guys are a good crowd.
As for these other sites, what's out there? I suppose we have Reddit, StackOverflow, GitHub, and several others, but they don't compare. Hypothetically, if CP never came to be, where would you be?
