- ionforce 10y agoDo you have Have? You would have had Have if you could have Googled for it. But that's okay. Having half Have is better than having no Have at all.
- 0xmohit 10y agoThe syntax is inspired by Python/Go and the name by Haxe [0]. [0] https://haxe.org/ https://haxe.org/
- na85 10y agoI'm not sure that that makes it okay to use such an ambiguous word as a name. I guess they were following Go's similarly bone-headed choice.
- kbenson 10y agoNext we'll have a pared down forth (!) called for, a variation of self called me, and a specialized subset of C called c *we'll have used up all the crappy names by then, so people will just start using case to denote the difference). But that's okay, because according to the developers you pronounce it "little-c". so it's not confusing at all.
- untothebreach 10y agoWell half the devs call it "little-c" but the other half call it "clang," and what do you mean there is already something called clang?
- vortico 10y agoHa, "c" is hilariously bad. I suggest the file extension to be .C since C gets to use .c
- cleaver 10y ago"Have" is a top 10 most common word for English. "Go" is only top 50. They've gone five times better. As for how much better you can do... Someone just (6 days ago) registered "be-lang.com" so we might get a top 2. Good news is that "the-lang.com" and the .org equivalents are available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_common_words_in_English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_common_words_in_English
- bobbyi_settv 10y agoBut is either of those words as common as the letter C?
- Merovius 10y agoOn it's own? Yes, definitely.
- rootbear 10y agoIt won't be a problem, since the name of this language is pronounced "hah-vay". (Just kidding!)
