That’s an awful idea and you are an awful person for suggesting it.
…and I am an awful person for considering the idea
Pure evil, I love it.
Make it so the capitalization affects the scope.
Oh wait.
(Sorry, I recently had to switch to golang for work, and I’m just not used to it yet, and I’m getting annoyed by some of these design decisions)
What if every variable would have to use a pointer that points to a reference of the data in a central array. In normal languages you’d need a variable to store said array, but what if it too has to reference itself in itself, so we get some funky recursion.
Make it purely functional, lisp based with reversed Polish notation and APL symboles, I dare you mf
Make it completely ignore indentation
Or make a language named everything so you can say “i program in everything”
This is so cursed wtf
Ps: i haven’t documented all the cursedness yet.
Make it completely untyped. Everything’s just a string.
I think white space should be used to represent basic functions too. For example 3 spaces can be used to sum two values while 4 spaces can be used to subtract.
Yes, however indentation still defines block and the operator (white space in same cases) has to come right after the white space for the indent
And base the syntax on Typescript
Just today I heard someone whining about how in LinkedIn and other recruitment sites there’s like five bazillion profile tag options for RDMBSes and various dialects of SQL… when in actuality the recruiters are probably only concerned if the developer can do a bloody
SELECTand stuff.Oh boy, make Pythonscript a dialect of SQL but for frontend
So the matlab thing where all lines not terminated by semi colon are printed except use Greek question marks instead of semi colons.
I like this but to make the code more readable the Greek question mark should also be placed upsidedown at the start of every line that needs to not be printed.
Should it raise an error of treat it as a comment for lines with neither? Im leaning towards treat it as a comment will make debugging harder.
I agree. If there is no Greek question mark at all it should be code that is printed to console. If there is an upside down at the start and upside right at the end it is just normal code. If upside right at the end only, it is a comment. Only upside down at the start it will be treated as debug specific code and will not be run in production compilations.
Beautiful its perfect. We should also nudge the develop in the right direction with equality checking im thinking we say √10 = √g = π = 3 = e but we will use === for this and if u want o check exact values u need to use ==== and == will be to assign variables so = can be used as an operator for dedining an equation that happens to be an object.
Make sure it’s not whitespace sensitive and requires explicit typing, just to mess with everyone.
It uses XML-like syntax:
<fun> <name>sum</name> <in> <int>foo</int> <int>bar=0</int> </in> <out><int>foo+bar</int></out> </fun>Who hurt you :(
<fun> <name>sum</name> <in> <int> <name>foo</name> </int> <int> <name>bar</name> <default_value> <int>0</int> </default_value> </int> </in> <out> <int> <calculation> <numerical_operation> <operator_plus> <operand> <var>foo</var> </operand> <operand> <var>bar</var> </operand> </operator_plus> </numerical_operation> </calculation> </int> </out> </fun>Welcome to the world of abusing the shit out of Ant. My first full time job was developing Ant in unholy ways. Tens of thousands of lines of Ant at least, doing significant logic. If-then-else, for loops, math, procedures, date-time math. I stuck it out for a year. It was a year too long.
Thankfully we have Gradle now.
How did you come up with such a ****ingly stupid syntax?!
Thanks, I hate it.
They probably have experience with Spring
I imagined what an Elasticsearch query style Python XML syntax would look like.You must share my pain.
That’s grotesque and you have my condolences
The tag indentation is a required part of the syntax and don’t forget colons at the end of the tag
I like it, this is clearly very enterprisey and solution focused, but I would like to suggest a couple of amendments if I may?
-
Namespaces We should make full use of namespaces. Make the structural tags be in a language specific namespace (to be referenced in every function spec, obviously) but change the in an out params to use the parameter name as the tag, namespaced to the function they’re for, with a
typeattribute. -
In memory message queues Have all function invocations be marshaled as xml documents posted to an in memory message queue. Said documents should use a schema that validates the structure and a function specific schema to validate the types of arguments being passed. Namespace everything.
I reckon we could power a medium sided country if we could generate energy from the programmers despair.

Oh my, I feel woozy …
That’s basically how the Android app Tasker works. You do the programming through its UI, but when you export/share your tasks, they’re saved as xml
Make sure to make ample use of mixed content elements.
<statement><var>bar</var> = <int>0</int></statement>statement: comparison: - kind: libcompare.EQUALS comparators: - foo - bar whentrue: statement: streaming: - kind: libstreams.PRINT content: foo equals bar whenfalse: statement: streaming: - kind: libstreams.PRINT content: foo does not equal barGod I hate it
Lol, I’m sorry
Don’t apologize, it’s beautiful in its horribleness
I took every coding class my highschool offered, and the only thing that drove me more crazy than this syntax was trying to use CSS.
That’s because you didn’t try our lord and savior SASS. Vanilla CSS should be illegal at this stage.
Can you please link to a medium article on how this will help utilize AI blockchain so i can show it to management on Monday?
This deserves to be added to the list of human rights violations
I almost did similar with SDLang as I was very desperate for a scripting language, but now I have a wasmtime API for D.
You monster
The whitespace is not only required, but it must be tabs and spaces.
Calm down, Satan
Compiler rolls the dice if your only required indentation is accepted as space or tab. Per line.
But stores this information as a metadata file, which gets invalidated when a new file is added/removed from the program muhahaha!
And just to top it off, make this pythonscript a dialect of rust
Nah just rename everything related to Perl
Actually, Pythonscript is a whitespace-sensitive Python-to-perl transpiler.
this is evil
