#32As 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.
With Rust you could get by with "match bool { true => ..., _ => ... }" and "loop { ... break }" I think.
`unsafe` code is a little bit tough since the keyword have an F, unless there's another way to create unsound code by abusing rustc.

#33Boy, finally somebody who also hates a certain letter. I hate c - it’s totally garbage letter.
Take for example Pacific Ocean. Every damn c in that two word is pronounced differently. Worst part, you could replace it with other letters (Pazifik Oshean). It’s redundant.
C is just a nightmare…

#35I don't hate the letter "s", but its sound is quite distinctive in conversation.
In a crowded room, listen for the "s" sounds and you will see what I mean.

if (x) { y; } → while (x) { y; break; }
for (a; b; c) { d; } → a; while (b) { d; c; }Re: I Hate the Letter F

You could do a lot in assembly (which uses instructions like JNZ for "if"), as long as you don't need any floating point math.

#38Replace it with “ph” in every word, and you’ll have the phine benephit of sounding like a 90s indie band or a 70s phone hacker.

Unless and Each, in ruby?

Ask any audio engineer about the letter S. You can walk out of the room, go live your life for a year, come back, and they will still be screaming.
