Yes, give simple examples demonstrating the language!
Yes, explain the syntax and structure from these!
There are many languages posted HN. Many of them sound interesting but the linked page often gives no example code at all, weirdly enough. Or it gives the code for fibonacci sequence with no explanation (nth fibonacci number code is embarrassing just cause if you ever wrote a naive routine for the nth fibonacci number in production, you would be doing it way wrong).
- nativeit 2y agoIt’s refreshing in its stripped down aesthetic, but I missed where it tells potential users what Cognate is especially good at, who it’s for, why it was developed, or why I should devote the time and effort to learning it? Rather, it makes cute remarks about how little it cares for how math works…well if it doesn’t care, why reinvent basic mathematical syntax? It goes out of its way to be confusing, and then flips you off for asking why. I must be missing the larger point of this project.
