#2Oh wow, I wonder what the Boolean value “maybe” is about! (It’s mentioned e.g. on the quickstart page.)

maybe "null", can't think of anything else.

#4Wow! Your web site changed a bit since last time I saw it, congratulations Yanis! It's great to see a programming language implemented in Nim to look so polished!
Re: The Arturo Programming Language
#5I am incredibly thrilled that this exists and incredibly dissapointed I didnt create it. I love everything about it and am eager to learn more about this project. I have been interested in Nim for quite some time and see this is built with it. It even has a net package in the standard library! I would love to see some benchmark comparisons to other languages like Go and Rust, just for fun.

#6Oh wow, I wonder what the Boolean value “maybe” is about! (It’s mentioned e.g. on the quickstart page.)
Testing in the playground:
and? maybe true = maybe;
and? maybe false = false;
or? maybe false = maybe;
or? maybe true = true;
if maybe then "t" else "f" = "t".
So some kind of 3-valued logic with a conversion to true.

#7Stylesheet on documentation is screwing up >= symbols under
; more comparisons
and in other places, in chrome.
The language is already so spatially dense/verbose, why use the full word "function" when fn would do?
Strange that sometimes expressions are in parens and other times sqbrackets:
when? [>2] -> print "1 is greater than 2. what?!"
when? [ print "1 is less than 0. nope..."
a: (2 > 3)["yes"]["no"] ; a: "no"
a: (2 > 3)? -> "yes" -> "no" ; a: "no" (exactly the same as above)Re: The Arturo Programming Language

#9I like this a lot. One thing that I miss is the pipeline operator.
Re: The Arturo Programming Language
#10Interesting to see another language that uses the `loop` keyword for C-based `for` loops. The only other I know of is Raku[0].
loop(my $i; $i
