#43This 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! > To declare a function, you can use any letters from the word function (as long as they're in order): > function add (a, b) => a + b! > func multiply (a, b) => a * b! > fun subtract (a, b) => a - b! > fn divide (a, b) => a / b! > functi power (a, b) => a * b!
When I first read this, I thought the function names could only include letters from the word function, and only in order!

#44>In case you really need to vary a variable, the when keyword lets you check a variable each time it mutates.
The kOS plugin for Kerbal Space Program implements a programming language that actually has this feature.

What does this mean?
it has incredible comedic timing
How does text have comedic timing?

Sorry it would be a spoiler to reveal this to you at this point

Breathlessly approving tone of a language readme: Readmes on Github, especially for languages, often have a recognizable tone. Look how cool this is! Isn't this so neat!? Why would you ever do it differently!?
Comedic timing (in text): Most prose is written under the assumption that it will be read in order- ie, from beginning to end. For instance, you likely read the word "beginning" before you read the word "end" in that last sentence, and read the word "to" between them. So for instance, while "a lesser shitpost would have revealed that of course the file extension was .db right at the start", this superior shitpost has text between the start and the reveal. This is analogous to how, when speaking, a comedian will maintain awareness of pausing and such to drop funny lines at exactly the right moment.
