In other news, #REBOL still exists. I remember learning about it back in... 1998? The surprising thing is that it apparently survived all the way from 1997 to the end of 2012 without being #opensource. The whole idea of writing software in someone else's proprietary #language just sounds so... incredibly #offputting. -

@inscius interesting - I vaguely knew about the German, but not French. I'm endlessly fascinated about how languages (and dialects) develop and are related to each other! !language -

@sazius you'll also find this in the type of German still spoken by the "Pensylvania Dutch" people in teh USA (where "Dutch" is a mangled "Deutsch" meaning German - not dutch!): a small group in isolation mostly keeps their language characteristics, unlike the place of origin which has more outside infuences and keeps evolving. !language -
