Princess: Coding Like Royalty
- sethrin 3y agoI'm not seeing any related documents that explain what the goals and rationale for the project are.
- worksonmine 3y agoA princess doesn't have to explain herself.
- moffkalast 3y agoCan't argue with that logic alright.
- fluidcruft 3y agoThe top left corner gives the hint "A modern C-like Programming language with focus on structural typing." Not sure what "coding like royalty" is meant to mean honestly. To me royalty conjures useless rent-seeking incompetent cruft that sits on their ass and extracts value from their subjects.
- bigbillheck 3y ago> Not sure what "coding like royalty" is meant to mean honestly C, but the headers have all been removed.
- rob74 3y agoWhen I read "coding like royalty", the first thing I thought of was "let others do the coding for you". But in that case, you wouldn't care about the programming language...
- 082349872349872 3y agoIf this language is "coding like royalty", does that make no-code systems "coding for the cream of society"? (because they're aimed at the rich and thick)

- josephg 3y agoI agree. Why should I care that this exists? Does it correct a flaw in zig / rust / C / Nim / Dmd? Does it explore the space of programming languages? (And if so, what’s actually new about it?). Or is it a way for the author to noodle around with their own programming language? I have no objection to any of those goals. But it would be nice if the author were clear about what they’re doing with the project.
- ysofunny 3y agoI'd be interested in a joke programming language that mimics the modern tone and language used by living royals to order food or ask for trips in their private travel infrastructure and so on.
- rob74 3y agoSomething along the lines of https://aloneonahill.com/blog/if-php-were-british https://aloneonahill.com/blog/if-php-were-british maybe?

- pjungwir 3y agoNot exactly what you asked for, but you should look up Chef (not the devops tool). It was part of an MIT Mystery Hunt one year. You could certainly write the recipes with a royal style.
- ysofunny 3y agothis one? https://esolangs.org/wiki/Chef https://esolangs.org/wiki/Chef the closest thing to what I had in mind, thanks to another reply, is british PHP
- trealira 3y agoI tried thinking of a programming language syntax that sounded like Elizabethan English, but I think I only succeeded in making a weirder version of COBOL or ALGOL. Edit: moved to pastebin here: https://pastebin.com/41irVBJs https://pastebin.com/41irVBJs
- countWSS 3y agoSome notes(might be controversial): 1.Princess will clash with lots of stuff, e.g. anime and fiction, making it harder to search code. Pick something more unique, even any princess name would be better and not lead to wrong associations."Coding like ro yalty" isn't that great of a slogan either. 2.Make a comparison table to showcase differences Princess/C/C++/Zig/Rust/FreePascal its hard to understand the selling point compared to using plain Clang. 3.More examples of functions,objects, metaprogramming, common algorithms to showcase something (Rosetta Code examples would be perfect).
- captaincrowbar 3y agoIt can't be any harder to search for than C.
- RangerScience 3y agoC's name predates internet searches sooooo it could not have been chosen with that in mind.
- grodriguez100 3y agoRelated to item 2: 4. Explain what problem is being solved. Why does this exist at all? What is the value proposition? A comparison table helps of course but I wouldn’t even look at that unless I can “buy” the value proposition first.
- muricula 3y agoWhat is this language's approach to memory safety?
- deusum 3y agoExecute the function correctly, or the Princess will have you executed.
