RFC: Keywords

[b3nten]

This is the place to discuss replacing JS keywords with superior GruLang syntax. I'm sure I missed some...

Mostly finalized

These are things that probably won't change unless you really feel strongly about it.

• function -> finna
• true -> nocap
• false -> cap
• try -> bet
• catch -> sus
• finally -> ong
• error -> oof
• throw -> yeet
• await -> holUp
• switch -> thisguy
• case -> lookin (postfix, ex: 'boujee' lookin:)
• break -> byefelicia

Not quite finalized, should probably discuss further

• if -> fr
• else -> lowkey
• break -> dead
• class -> SEGFAULT(OKBOOMER)
• delete -> smash
• new -> fresh

No current ideas

• break
• case
• const
• continue
• debugger
• default
• delete
• do
• enum
• export
• extends
• for
• implements
• import
• in
• instanceof
• interface
• let
• null
• package
• private
• protected
• public
• return
• super
• switch
• static
• this
• typeof
• var
• void
• while
• with
• yield

Basics in #8 but we should keep this open to discuss & iterate. Good reopen @b3nten

More recommendations:

• continue -> letsgo
• null -> oop
• await -> bussin (yield?)
• return -> gg
• const -> fax

Another recommendation from GruGang:
be -> assignment
do be -> equality

? :
W L
const ternary = x do be 10 W nocap L cap
