Easy Software Development
Years ago, Brandon created the Leopard programming language - not to be confused with Leopard, the operating system that Apple will never release to manufacturing.
I didn’t realize just how deceptively simple it was to use until he sent me the link to a desktop widget mashup program he compiled with the following lines of Leopard code:

That code makes this Windows EXE:
You can download the latest version of Leopard now. Seasoned software developers may laugh at the simplicity of the logic, but regular power users oughta love it just as much as they’ll love PopFly.

Things that were simple are now inordinately complicated. - will they get easier with Orcas? I hope so…How are you dealing with the differences with other development environments? Have you found a easier programming environment? Powered by ScribeFire.

Roll your own applications the easy way! :)
Brandon is going to be making some further tweaks (image related), among other suggestions to bring the size down and get this puppy ready for primetime.
