On Programming Languages

Markdown is a neat html replacement language to learn yet so far. I remember back in the day, textpattern (a CMS like Wordpress but more hardcore) invented textile for their textpattern (fyi, history note, Joyent the maker of Textpattern later rolled out this tiny javascript project called Node).

Markedown so far I’ve implemented mainly two features. Code escapes and quick URL links.

for Code. Include a backtick ` . for URLS. Include a square bracket then a regular parentheses.

• wwww.code.com code can be escaped with a backtick, the character below the tilde next to the 1 key.
• [code website](http://www.code.com) is how you would create the following URL but obviously shorthanded <a href="http://www.code.com">code website</a>

Its also interesting reading online resources, pdfs, and books about Groovy. Interesting dynamic language borrowing strengths from python and ruby, while inheriting advangtages from Java’s JVM.
