Every single time I check out one of those upcoming shiny new programming languages that claim to be *simple*:
I just checked out NIM and it says "Simple Example" right there, and it does stuff that C can do but in way more steps.
A 2024 programming language that's more convoluted than C from 1975 calling itself "simple"
Then there's Crystal, that insists on NOT using parenthesis, yet adapted the dumbest operator from C++, the double colon ::
EDIT: Seems like the :: was not taken from C++ and this thing jsut tries to be PHP
I was trying to look for Squirrel replacement for my scripting system and came across Wren too. That tagline at the beginning gives me chills and I don't understand anythign else that's going on there.
@sos they took that from Perl/Ruby actually, not C++
@ariadne Ahh, my bad!
@sos if you're looking at C-likes have you checked out odin? i've been meaning to look into it properly after using C for a bit and wanting smth that can deal with strings and arrays better lol
@jazz Just lookingfor languages to make fun of! :P
@sos @jazz Don't skip out on Pony! https://www.ponylang.io/
@sos one of my current goals with my new engine (well, "new" as in being updated from the same basic codebase I've used since like 2001) is to allow M68k and Z80 asm to be used as scripting languages.
@sos Like, I'm assuming you're doing a bit here. Esp tagging the respective languages. But this sure comes across as gleeful ignorance of some interesting languages & paradigms 
@sos oooh! I started writing a programming language! Roast my syntax. https://konascript.org/
@Kowfm Alright, youre language is trying to be simple so much that half of the example is implicit!
@sos it’s too true! Too true!!!!!
@sos what they made a turbo pascal with emojis? This is exactly what I've been looking for!
@sos this is just rust. whose syntax still scares me.
@sos the nim guy is an unhinged right wing bigot so that's probably enough of a reason to pass on that one https://peoplemaking.games/@eniko/110652598034999459
@eniko Oh that's why the hashtag summoned the trolls.
@sos I wouldn't call Crystal simple but it is a joy to use
It has convenience functions for almost everything and the checking is so strict that if your program compiles it probably works
