Talk:Miranda (programming language)

There's no source listed for the claim that Turner considers Miranda "dead," and that sentence was submitted anonymously (although apparently by someone who knows a lot about Turner). Can anyone cite a reference on this?

Well, Miranda looks kind of dead to me. I was curious about it, and I tried to find the company which is supposed to be selling it, Reasearch Software, Ltd. And I can't. If a software company doesn't have a website in this day and age... --Ansible 04:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any reason why he drops out of the comment, only to immediately start a new one?--80.135.92.95 21:36, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That piece of code is using Miranda's literate script mode: every line _not starting_ with ">" is a comment. The confusing part is that the author starts the above comment with ">" (which would indicate it's actually code!), but then proceeds to write an "||", which indicates it's a comment after all. There, I answered your question after only 4 years! 201.231.81.53 (talk) 00:44, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
