Languages (Was: Re: ASU software - pre-pre-release impressions)

2008-05-20 Thread Travis Tabbal
I did say most. :) There are a number of programming languages that almost
seem to have been designed to be difficult to write well formed code in. I
try to avoid them, and usually succeed. I won't get into details as that's a
little too far off topic and everyone has their own opinions on such things
that are no more or less valid than my own. :)

I like your idea about the app icons.

 Really? Try writing good code in whitespace [1] or most of [2] :P

 Anyway, regarding the app icons: perhaps it's possible to move those that
 are used most often to the top automatically?

The app icon idea should be optional, I know I personally have a tendency to
remember locations of icons.  If the icon list is updated constantly with
the most accessed programs, then I might inadvertently select one program
thinking another should really be in that location.  I think this is more
common in a phone with a smaller screen, then on a computer where icons are
much more visible.
