The Zidie programming language

When ever a new language is released I feel like it should come with a list along the lines of

"Taken from C: Comments, semicolins Taken from C++: Classes Taken from <insert here> : weak typeing"

or something of the like. Just so we know what were getting into.

I am afraid that I don't see advantage compared to php, at least not such that would warrant new language.

And you left curly braces in :) if I wanted anything from php out, I would make it like coffeescript with python style indentation.

I will check it out more but, it kind of leaves me cold so far. Sorry.

Please don't embed videos coding videos so small that you can't read the code. And please add some commentary rather than a techno track. I got no information at all from the video.

I usually like new programming languages, but from just the key features that they list on the front page, I thought "wtf, this is like java/c++ that compiles to PHP just to make it slower". The only advantage I can see is that it lets you write in a more java-like language and then run it on a free php-only server.

Yet another Algol-based language. This is just what we need.

Is the implementation of Zidie open source?

This shouldn't be here. There's a new programming language out every day. I hope Zidie is successful but posting an incomplete website with most pages having some sort of "coming soon"/"under construction" message isn't inspiring.

I want to see it in the wild, I want tutorials and examples, and I want to be more confident that this actually will be updated in the future. Plus the video just showed some random coding with a soundtrack and was barely readable. None of this makes this project look very compelling or enticing. Plus, from the code I see, I don't see anything that makes it worth going through the extra step to compile it to PHP. It's pretty much PHP as it is already.

I hate to be negative and I wish them the best but hyping this thing before its ready is doing them more harm than good.
