What does the world owe to you?
1. Yes, there are probably a lot of areas that need new
programming languages or improvements of the current
programming languages, everything is quite far from
"perfect" at the moment (and it will probably always
be). There's still a huge amount of research going
in this direction.
2. Learning. Should you ever be stopped from learning
something new by the fact that something similar
already exists? Probably not. This is just business
thinking utter bullshit.
3. This "resource" was the starting point before few
quite young popular programming languages. I haven't
read it myself but it must be something good to learn
from it judging by the outcome. Show some respect.Also you might want to learn the difference between communism and socialism as you have it all wrong currently.
I write code on several computers and I use Dropbox to keep the files in sync so that I am able to quickly resume working when switching computers. I've never had any kind of sync problems with Dropbox.
I tried doing the same with BT Sync. The biggest problem I had was that sometimes it didn't sync all files. Say I had a directory with 10 files and 3 computers in the BT Sync "network". It was not unusual that 8 files got synced between all computers but 2 of the files would never get synced to one of the computers. Then at a later time, randomly, it would resume sync-ing. After having this problem 3 or 4 times I went back to using Dropbox and never looked back.
