.TL Questions for the end user (Amy C) .NH 1 What do you find the most important in a languge? (eg: speed, readablity) .PP Speed, readability, debugging ease and disk space efficiency. .NH 1 What tools are important for a language to have? (eg: pkg-manager, ide integration) .PP IDE integration (things like tab complete and debugging tools), a package manager, and the ability to interact with the user through the command line easily. .NH 1 What features do you like from other languages (eg: advanced memory managment, haskells terse syntax) .PP The ability to pass the memory reference of an object or function and a collection of built-in or standard functions like "print", "split", or "sort" .NH 1 What do you want to program in this language (eg: websites, low level systems) .PP Lightweight command line tools and web backends. .NH 1 Do you intend to use graphics in the programs you write? .PP No .NH 1 Would you prefer a languge that focuses on ease of use, or power of the code? .PP I like a good balance between the two. .NH 1 What were your last 3 projects? (could they have been writen in zippy?) .PP A website, a small command-line tool and a midi keyboard (program runs on a Raspberry Pi Pico) .NH 1 How many languages would you use on a single project? (could zippy be used in your codebase?) .PP I try to use as little languages in a project as possible, so likely not in an existing project. .NH Do you care for low level control, or would you prefer high level abstractions? .PP I think low-level control is very important, but high-level abstractions are convenient, so a good balance between the two is best. .NH 1 Would you be happy to develop libaries for things that aren't already implemented (eg: an sql lib) .PP Potentially if it is simple enough to implement new things.
