CRAZY NEW FEATURE 2023: SCS

[aaarkid]

SCS: Selective-Case-Sensitivity

Here's how it works:

DreamBerd would be case insensitive on certain days of the week and case sensitive on others. For instance:

• Monday: All Words should be in Sentence case. It's the start of the week, let's start things off proper!
• Tuesday to Friday: words should be in lower case. We're in the groove of the week now, let's keep things chill!
• Saturday and Sunday: WoRdS can be in any case, it's the weekend after all, let's go wild!

Example:

monday: Print("Hello world!")!
tuesday: print("Hello world!")!
saturday: PRINT("Hello world!")!

Always keep in mind the time changes on runtime so on a Monday you can write code like this:

Print("Hello!")!
Date.Now() -= 3600000!
PRINT("NOW IT'S SUNDAY!")!!!

Interesting feature idea! I'm actually making a language like this called DreamLang, will try to add that feature.

I assume if that happens, though, then the program must run for days. The language needs to be fast for this to happen. I am designing DreamLang to be fast.

Not sure if DreamBerd is fast. Is it fast @TodePond?

Please note that The Foundation owns the project DreamLang, consider renaming

No, not until we add the vroom keyword #150

@gabrielchl Whoa there are so many names for programming languages that are already taken!

@TodePond So vroom is for concurrency, right?

I missed the original issue where vroom was proposed but I assume it leverages some unique language feature to directly manipulate the BIOS and overclock the processor. Also since its syntax permits variable length vroom's (e.g. vroooooooom const const val = 2!), it could reorder the call stack with vroom length determining priority of execution. The issue of statements depending on sequential execution is then easily resolved with negative lifetimes. Cheers!

@denim02 I'd assume that vroom parses the line in lua which in turn performs a syscall to a Python 3 equivalent REPL command.

Cheers!
