Please no! Someone may try to actually use this in some corporate production model -- I can see the carnage now - the language, editors where you can write left to right, right to left, or even vertically with an exta cost plug-in, training courses at $1500/day -- the horror of it all! Don't forget the vertical camelcase variable names where letters appear, not only in both cases, but on two lines. You know of course, tehre's a special place for you when the mist clears. You'll either be stuck in the Bank of America customer care department for eternity, or, be stuck in the other Big Red helping to get Larry Elisson's network computer workig -- FOREVER.

#12This is great. Usually with the joke programming languages, you can get at least one person arguing that "x feature" really isn't all that bad, or could maybe be useful. DreamBerd beats them all in that regard. It is 100% terrible! I lost it at the lifetimes implementation.
This feature really isn't all that bad!

#13 const var scores = [3, 2, 5]!
scores[0.5] = 4
print(scores) //[3, 2, 4, 5]!
(Remember that arrays start from -1.)

I don't know, variable decelerations seem to me to be funny but useful.
I mean constant constants, constant variables, and variable variables seem useful.
I'm not sure how would variable constants be useful.
Also, anybody knows the difference between constant constant and immutable data (constant contact constant)?

But what elevates it is that it's written so confidently and buries the insane lede so well that at each feature there's a fraction of a second where it seems recoverable before sanity kicks in. After, before, and next almost, almost seem smart

#16Is this to blame complexity of Rust ?
Feels like more of a JS parody to me. Perhaps parodies like this are an effective way to reveal our biases. #deepthoughts

#17A correction on another comment -- this is not a multithreaded language -- it's transthreaded-- a radically new concept where your code may or may not, run code in your thread, or someoen else's thread, without your knowledge. Errors in your code show up in their program, and their errors, in yours - see? Now bugs aren't your fault anymore!
And don't forget the KvetchGPT option. It's doesn't so much as complain about your code as you go along. It's like pair programming with your manager but you can turn them ofF.

In the normal case, Alice can write 'const const true = false' and Bob, on a second machine, can write 'const const true = 7', and there will not be an error. But if Alice writes 'const const const true = false', than Bob can't reassign or mutate 'true' without throwing an error. It's for truly global constants
