It looks more or less like Javascript with Spanish keywords instead of English. I guess it's an argument for a purely symbolic (and therefore equally accessible) programming language.
- ducharmdev 6y agoThat's an interesting point - on the topic of readability, its often argued that the more abstract symbols and operators used, the harder it is to read (I think this is why operator overloading is sometimes frowned upon). But if you are not fluent in English, it wouldn't be much more accessible than a purely symbolic language. The tricky thing about this, is we search based on language all the time. It's harder to search for an operator if you don't already know what that operator is called. Maybe you could build this into the tooling of the symbolic language? E.g. provide a semantic name for a given std lib function in your chosen language, and get intellisense in your language.
- mywittyname 6y agoSymbols have different meanings in language too. For example, would you use "string" or «string» to quote a string?
