I don't know. Programming languages are super high dimensional objects that are often used to construct non-trivially sized and scoped projects. For something like that I think you need to take your time, read the manual, and do some r&d to see if it's a fit.
In blorq we have variable assignment:
var x = 5;
And we have while loops:
while true {
x += 1;
}
And we also have quantum polymorphic tensor hyper operators with optional effects:
|> ~$~ |] <coherence 0.7 [deflects]>
It's like, the simple stuff doesn't really tell me anything. And the complex stuff is going to take a lot more than seeing the example to know how I should feel about it.
Cell, I suspect, is in the category of needing at least an afternoon to get started.
- IshKebab 3y ago> It's like, the simple stuff doesn't really tell me anything. It tells you loads. * The basic syntax is C-like but modern (no brackets around the `while` expression). There are alternatives - it could have been lispy or more ML like. * You can mutate variables. * You have some weird advanced hieroglyphic features. You only used 5 lines and you've already told me loads. Loads of languages get this right. I gave some examples here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37805216 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37805216 (And another language that gets it completely wrong - AngelScript.)
