Agreed Syntax

[b3nten]

Lets update this issue with finalized (for now) syntax replacements.

I don't want to make this a discussion, we can keep that on discord for now. But this is a good place to record what we decide on.
For now we have:

// Main keywords
function === finna
true === nocap
false === cap
error === oof
throw === yikes
const === facts
return === yeet
delete === smash
new === fresh

// Flow Control
if === fr
else === lowkey
else if === fr lowkey
break === ded
try === bet

// Promises
Promise() === Gotchu()
reject === sheesh
resolve === bussin
then === bless
catch === sus
finally === ong

// Types
:hash: === number
:pencil2: === string

// Other shit that I can't be fucked to categorise
setTimeout() === holUp()
os.exit() === kms
console.log("") === slide.dm("")
Array === Fam
Object === Chad
Map === Gigachad

// TODO: *Maybe* think about OOP
class === boomer

Thoughts on lowkey for else?

[stoykotolev]

Why not use facts === true

[b3nten]

Is there something that makes sense as an anti-facts?

[stoykotolev]

fake news

[b3nten]

I think we should avoid keywords being two separate words, might make it difficult to write a compiler

[critical]

@stoykotolev made a good suggestion to add this to Git to maintain and reference the original shitpost that started this entire thing

finna doSomething() {
  bet {
    // try
  } sus e {
    // catch
  } ong {
    // finally
  }
}

We should probably keep this as our try/catch/finally block. The original image I posted doesn't have the bet keyword but I feel like it fits for this usecase. Thoughts?

more random ideas

Best practice for this lang is going to be having all the comments be //IYKYK

.Gru file extension?

are observers/event listeners stans?

document to dox maybe?

array = fam, class = boomer

object === chad, map === gigachad

null = nah

cap/nocap is true/false I think

index 69 start

the main branch is goat, the dev is horny
