Your thoughts on the E programming language...

This is a horrible parody thread.

E so totally owns. It fixes all the flaws of D and adds so much more to it:

• Variables (for those who don''t like HTML)
  
• HTML (for those who don''t like variables)
  
• Compatibility with Befunge
  
• Whitespace overloading
  
• Unicode symbol names
  
• Roman numerals
  
• Continuations
  
• LISP-style macros

And it''s only $19.99. Plus if you call with your credit card, you get the preprocessor for FREE !!!

Actualy, i might find a use with whitespace overloading. I cant remember how many times I have wanted to redefine nothing. We should prepose to have it added officialy to D though.....

now, if only D/E would support in-line BrainFu*k support....

But actualy, in a few years D will be replaced by either D# or Dflat anyway, no use complaning about it.

But seriously...

Your all living in the past, the Z language beats everything

I love that article. Bjarne is the man. This quote about what restrictions would be placed on the new C++ is great.

quote:

Instead, it was decided to by default limit identifiers to a single character:

int xy; // error: two-character identifier
 

This may seems Draconian at first . However, since we now have the full Unicode character set available,
we don''t actually need hard-to-read long names. Such long names only make code obscure by causing
unpleasantly long lines and unnatural line breaks. Multi-character names are a relic of languages that
relied heavily on global name and encouraged overly-large scopes.

People, you can''t beat that for ironic parody.

thats not the job of D. nor the job of E. BrainFu*k comes with F, wich is short for Fu*k, the shorter, and more simple BrainFu*k for the future..

uhm.. yes



but actually, E is quite a big page to be a fake only:D is it really usable, or really just a big fake? D at least is usable.. :D

If that''s not the help you''re after then you''re going to have to explain the problem better than what you have. - joanusdmentia

The E programming language already exists. And have been existing for several years for amiga. a beginners guide can be found here
