in reply to The Evolution of Language (redux)

What direction or evolution are you talking about? I'll admit that I'm not the most informed of folks, but I see:

  1. math
  2. math
  3. math as code
  4. code
  5. math as markup

I downvoted this, but now I'm thinking I might have been hasty. Is there some context for the original PDF? I suspect that the author was being tongue-in-cheek in usage of the term "evolution", and now I suspect maybe you were likewise being a little silly with your use of the term "progress". But how can I tell? I am a geek of very small brain, and I need a little context.

Next time I won't vote so quickly. Damn mouse-clicky reflex.

    Yes and yes.
