I was expecting dogescript: https://dogescript.com/ https://dogescript.com/ Love the fake O'Reilly book and "NOT'REALLY®" joke.

Looks interesting, but personally, I prefer https://github.com/justinmeza/doge https://github.com/justinmeza/doge.

Hmm. Beginner developer and long-time lover of sarcasm. So I read your home page list of cool features. > Overthrow the oppressive dictatorship! > Guido rejecting your awesome syntactic proposals? He's not in charge anymore. Annoy advocates of the category theory! > With Haskell's syntax but none of its type system, dg is the best way to make fans of static typing shut up already. Be on the verge of progress! > Syntactic sugar is the most important thing nowadays. And don't let those Java guys tell you otherwise. Add one more language to your résumé! I learn most of what is hip in language design from articles posted here. Is "Haskell syntax without the types" something in demand by programmers, Pythonista or not? I am just curious if this is full-on sarcasm or I completely misread the trends I frequently see on HN. These points made me laugh, but I have no idea what to think.

  You're reading too much into it. This is just someone's fun side project. I'd say Haskell/ML/functional language-style syntax is polarizing; people who write code in functional languages seem to like it because currying, but it can seem pretty foreign to outsiders. Personally, I think leaving out the parens around function call arguments makes them harder to read and so does currying, so even though I think Elm is pretty cool, the syntax is a drawback for me.
  - Guvante 11y ago
    Currying is weird, it completely changes how you handle functions. It allows some incredibly powerful concepts to be expressed unambiguously with little syntax. However I certainly agree that the lack of obvious markers for what a function call involves is painful. (For instance `$` is nonsensical in a C-like language but very useful in Haskell)

      Actually, $ would sort-of make sense in C, if you have otherwise nested calls.
      - Guvante 11y ago
        So you mean like Haskell's `.`? That would be interesting.
        eru 11y ago
        Expressing Haskell's (.) in C is much, much harder. ($) is almost trivial.
  - arnarbi 11y ago
    Currying is only one aspect of it. "Everything is an expression" (meaning custom control structures are a breeze), custom infix operators, custom operator precedence (like the silent application operator vs $), layout [1], ...

Disappointed because any language based on doge should have these keywords: wow, so, such, very, much, many.

  Oh, missed the comment by BFay. It was also what I expected: https://dogescript.com/ https://dogescript.com/

When approaching a new language, I love to read the learnxinyminutes.com page for that language. Would be awesome if you had that kind of tutorial page, or even just added it to the website.
- MadcapJake 11y ago
  The tutorial page on their site is actually quite short and sweet like learnxinyminutes.

The tutorial took a long time to write and is a great tongue-in-cheek read. Thanks for that, @pyos! > Q: F# is better than Haskell. > In that case, use <| or |> instead. > Objects and types > Wait, no. Gotta show you something else first.

such lang. very python. wow. The tutorial is great, too: http://pyos.github.io/dg/tutorial/ http://pyos.github.io/dg/tutorial/ Now we just need a Dogecoin implementation written in Dogelang and the world will be complete.
rifung 11y ago
Kind of disappointed that there's nothing relevant to Doge in the language itself.
- baby 11y ago
  It does feel like a stunt to promote a language that has nothing to do with dogecoin.
  - rifung 11y ago
    I didn't expect it to have anything to do with Dogecoin. I expected it to have to do with the Doge meme http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge_%28meme%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge_%28meme%29
dbpokorny 11y ago
And doge said, Let there be parody programming languages And there were parody programming languages If even one person picks up "A Shorter Model Theory" because of this, much wow

What the next PHP could look like. I love the slogans and emphasis on selecting popular memes at random.)
