Transition to Mediawiki
I have decided to move the Eek documentation from MoinMoin to Mediawiki. I was always frustrated by MoinMoin's lack of features, and as I wrote many Wikipedia contributions in the last weeks, I got so used to Mediawiki's syntax that I do not want to miss it any longer. The installation was easier than expected, and now I have a fresh Mediawiki running. The next step will be to port the MoinMoin content to the other syntax, get rid of the CamelCase and so on. When doing this revision, I am also going to get rid of static members and to add generics/class parameters.


 

This blog is my dumping ground for thoughts and ideas about Eek. Someday Eek will be a programming language and system, somewhat comparable to Java in scope. It is my attempt to bring sanity to the world of computing.
At least I hope so. Right now it is far from being finished and I can't guarantee that it ever will be. I am still working on the specification, but I won't release anything before I got my first prototype running. The world does not need more vapourware and unusable beta-software. All publicly available information about Eek is contained in this blog. You can find the latest summary here.
