So is Fortress the next big programming tool?
Ok I am going to attempt to distill what I have learnt of Fortress primarily from these slides
Warning : My experience of Fortress so far could be compared to Reading the Haynes manual of a vehicle before driving it. This is not usually a good idea, as all one really needs to get from a to b is to know how to drive. Usually when I do this it I end up disliking a language, as I did by reading BJarne Stroustrup's C++ Programming language (ISBN-10: 0201327554), BJarne may be a programming genius but his book writing sucks. I am however excited by Fortress so here goes.
