You think you can make billions on a programming language? The only popular language that I can think of that isn't free is C#, so people are going to have options.

You talk about it as though it would be easy, but promotion, debugging, libraries, support, tutorials, HOLY SHIT it's not easy.



Well either I'm stupid and/or completely inexperienced, or I have a really good system. I take it you assumed the former. :-) Thank you for answering. I initially thought you were saying that the "go for money vs go for open source" question was a joke.


Just sounds like you have a bad case of "shit's easy" syndrome, as Yegge said when I was reading him yesterday.


Never said it was going to be easy. My question, in fact, was whether I should have it take longer by doing it myself, or open it up to the community to get it done faster.


Good luck...
