As a commenter points out, that’d make programming a difficult pastime. Can’t think of a non-esolang without if and for apart from Brainfuck, and that’s got an f in the name.

#14I wonder how easy it would be to avoid that letter when programming. It would certainly be easier in Perl, since you can use unless conditionals and while loops, and subroutines are simply called sub. In the case you absolutely need a module using the dreaded letter, require can be used instead of use so that letter can simply be escaped. The same applies to method calls, just call indirectly. The idea reminds me abo…

I guess you can (at least in C ) use && where you would use “if” and a convoluted while where you could write a “for”.
#include
int main() {
int a = 1;
switch(a) case 1: puts("there's always this");
}
Switch accepts a statement. It does not have to be compound.Re: I Hate the Letter F

With Rust you could get by with "match bool { true => ..., _ => ... }" and "loop { ... break }" I think.
