https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3vscie/i_am_a_developer_behind_ritchie_a_language_that/cxrc40vYou appear to be advocating a new:
[ ] functional [X] imperative [X] object-oriented [X] procedural [ ] stack-based
[X] "multi-paradigm" [ ] lazy [ ] eager [X] statically-typed [ ] dynamically-typed
[ ] pure [ ] impure [ ] non-hygienic [ ] visual [X] beginner-friendly
[ ] non-programmer-friendly [ ] completely incomprehensible
programming language. Your language will not work. Here is why it will not work.
You appear to believe that:
[X] Syntax is what makes programming difficult
[X] Garbage collection is free [ ] Computers have infinite memory
[ ] Nobody really needs:
[X] concurrency [X] a REPL [ ] debugger support [X] IDE support [ ] I/O
[ ] to interact with code not written in your language
[ ] The entire world speaks 7-bit ASCII
[X] Scaling up to large software projects will be easy
[X] Convincing programmers to adopt a new language will be easy
[ ] Convincing programmers to adopt a language-specific IDE will be easy
[ ] Programmers love writing lots of boilerplate
[ ] Specifying behaviors as "undefined" means that programmers won't rely on them
[ ] "Spooky action at a distance" makes programming more fun
Unfortunately, your language (has/lacks):
[lacks] comprehensible syntax [lacks] semicolons [has] significant whitespace [ ] macros
[has] implicit type conversion [ ] explicit casting [has] type inference
[ ] goto [ ] exceptions [ ] closures [ ] tail recursion [lacks] coroutines

B..bu..butt programmers are my fwends.
>>51753561
I really like that template.

Get fucked Steve.
No one gives a shit about your comments.

Man that's something hard to achieve

What?

Holy mother of autism Steve, I may have to save this

jesus christ /g/ is garbage compared to reddit
why do i even browse this shit
>>51753561
That language is fucking hideous
>>51753561
>lacks semicolons
RIP in pepperoni
never had a chance

>4chan is now stealing content from REDDIT
just when i think this place couldn't sink any lower.
>>51755207
Because it's a shithole but it's a comfy shithole
>there are people who post EPIC comments on le reddit and post links on 4chan to show them off
>these people don't get permabanned on sight
>>51755342
how new are you? 4chan always stole content from digg, tumblr, reddit, 9gag, etc.
>>51755425
I would agree but I'm interested if OP was either autistic enough to type this all out or was autistic enough make a script for this.
The latter is more interesting.
>semicolons are an advantage
yup, a redditard
>>51755425
Most of the time it's the other way around though.
>look at examples
>that syntax
literally worse than Rust
>>51753561
>[X] You have reinvented PHP better, but that's still no justification
First thing I saw after opening a random file.size_t len = strlen(name);
if (name[len - 1] == '"')
name[len - 1] = '\0';
Tab closed.
