Technically, ternary values would be ~1.5849 bits.

Sorry to interrupt...

#94Re: DreamBerd is a perfect programming language
#95And of course, let's adopt Rust's logic with our new "Borrow Nagger", or just "Everything Nagger". When it compiles your code, it analyzes it, sends it out to a Reddit group and collects the comments and displays them as warning and error messages. No one is saying they'll make any sense relative to code, but if you've used C++ and templates, you'll feel right at home.
Abd of course, there's "syntax quality hightlighting", where we highlight your code in various colors based on what we think of the quality of it. Red = Really bad idea, Yellow, not good, but good for now, you'll refactor it later, green, good because you won't be at this job long anyway, and black on black or white on white if it's actually OK.
(Per the comment on refactoring, there's probably a note on the pyramids 'Pharoh - yeah, this is a hack, but we were in a rush, we'll fix it later. Bandaids for now'

#96And now that I think about it, other than negative lifetimes, where variables reappear in code after a defined time because you might need them again, I propsoe the hidden segments feature -- with this feature, you can write code, and hide the block (something like an invisible #define) so when your coworker comes along and tries to "help" by changing your code that you told them SHOULD NOT be changed because it actually works now, when you run the code with the --no-manager flag, the code compiles the way YOU want it.

#97How many billion lines of code does it compile per second?
Re: DreamBerd is a perfect programming language
#98> Variable hoisting can be achieved with this neat trick. Specify a negative lifetime to make a variable exist before its creation, and disappear after its creation.

#99This is incredibly good. It maintains the breathlessly approving tone of a language readme the entire time, it has incredible comedic timing (a lesser shitpost would have revealed that of course the file extension was .db right at the start), and it has incredible internal consistency. For some reason it was the fact that it demonstrates how "files" work by rebinding a const const that sent me completely over the edg…
breathlessly approving tone of a language readme What does this mean? it has incredible comedic timing How does text have comedic timing?
You could read it and then you'd understand what they're talking about

#100> Technical info: Type annotations don't do anything, but they help some people to feel more comfortable.
They stole the feature directly from python!
