if you were to make a programing language, what would you name it?

Not-C, and wait to see how long it takes for people to realize just how bad that name is.

Godwin'd already! I prefer !C though, makes it much more difficult to search for help on!

Pascal with Curly Braces :P

C--

Or maybe Z, so that no one could make another language and imply it's better "because it's later in the alphabet." Until someone else makes a language named Omega...

Easy.

The code would look like:

run program ("Megaman 3");

run and program are keywords.

Those are all the code you need :)

I would call it "Dreamy".

It would be a 4th or 5th 'programming language' or development language. A GUI based development, more than those Alice(?) based version. Click and create thingy. The differences is that the editor focus more on brain input (like those heli flying thingy) and eye movement.

There is a lot of research on how brain works and now multiple country are looking into it (even US willing to put one billion USD into understanding brain research recently) so by the time the GUI / libraries / logic behind the language ready, so would be the hardware.

metalang

It provides the tools for you to create the syntax for a language.

Then you cannot complain about missing features or odd syntax.

"Burp", I like the sound of it... or maybe "The", just to make it even less googleable than "Go".

Since a lot of people seem to think "C+" is an actual programming language I would go ahead and name it that so it can finally be one!

Though if I were to create a language in all actuality I would call it Twig. Why? I have no idea.

I'd write a secure language, with a secure name you can't remember, i'd generate a guid, and so shall it be named!

I could start with a strong user base by choosing "C/C++".

establishment of a language by mis-representing it as being apart of a pre-existing language. excellent marketing move!

who came up with the name of C(or C++) anyway?

who came up with the name of C(or C++) anyway?

Ken Thompson and/or Dennis Ritchie. C is named as such because apparently it was heavily influenced by the programming language B.

C++ was an expansion on C, and I'm assuming named because it is an incremental expansion over C instead of something designed completely from the ground up.

Or maybe "do a b" to make googling annoying.

Quantum C. Better code for a better world.

A general purpose C-like language designed to be used within the realm of quantum computing along with all the exciting features (variables take random values when you observe them, and so on.. just kidding ). The tech hasn't been invented yet but hopefully this stuff will be ready in a couple decades. Actually, I don't know if it's possible to run a Turing-complete language on a quantum computer, but I'm sure our scientists will find a solution as they always do.

I already have a language (which I call BGBScript, or 'BS').

technically, it is a language sort of like ActionScript3 with some more C, Java, and C# features glued on.

I had designed a language I had called 'C-Aux', which would have aimed to be "very close" (as in, "99% code-compatible") with C99 (and possibly include some C++ like features), just with some modest script-related extension features, and using a more C# like parsing strategy, but never got around to it. if implemented its purpose would have mostly just been as a C analogue which is compiled to bytecode.

otherwise, I guess a person could make a language and call it "C+=Script;" (like C with more scripting features).

(kind of lacking many 'clever' naming ideas here...).

I'd call it "Subjective-C", it would be a language open up to interpretation...
