The Weirdest Language I've Ever Seen (I kinda love it...)

Everything about Dreamberd is beautiful. Todepond is a legend for this. And somehow DAN ABRAMOV IS INVOLVED??! Legendary.

Satire aside, ending a statement with a question mark to print debug information honestly is so sick as an idea

What says intuitive like realizing "union" is a keyword that defines a fUNctION

[jerondiovis]

31:16 "delete fun" is a thing that some languages just do by default.

[AvanaVana]

16:00 I would make a habit of just using the keyword “unction” for all my functions, to heap blessings upon my code. This would also allow for some interesting usage of “on” as the function keyword before event handlers, “ui” before render functions in front end frameworks, and others…

[keenoogodlike]

It's a top meme language. This language allow people to declare function "fuct".

[Daranix]

I like the question mark as "What the f* is this" operator

[Fupicat]

I hate that I kinda like the significant whitespace for arithmetic. Also, for someone who's had to install and uninstall the gigabyte-big "Visual Studio Installer" multiple times just to get one or two things, the "DreamBerd installer installer" hits close to home!

Nobody:

Me calling all my functions "funion" because I can

[Interpause]

that const const const example was a mistake; now pi is permanently just 3 significant figures... that means we now need a pi2 with more significant figures....

[bnjmn]

I love how the const const, const var, ..., is actually a thing in rust its just like this:
let x: &mut str = ... //const const
let x: & str = ... //const var
let mut x: & str = ... //var const
let mut x: &mut str = ... //var var

ngl some concepts are really interesting. Questionmark at the end, previous/next. I actually like that.

[Tekay]

4:30 don't you think, 👍should be the boolean "True" and 👎should be the boolean "False"? It would be so much more international!

[StickySli]

const const const pi<Infinity> = 3.14!
Nothing can change this!

[barneylaurance]

One and a half bits isn't enough for a three-valued variable though. That would log2(3), approx 1.585 bits.

[fionnlanghans]

My programming language actually implements floating-point numbers as fractions (pgcl)

[ReneHartmann]

As for 'when', Tcl has this feature in form of the 'watch' command.

[shapelessed]

The question mark is actually a really nice feature... Just type a character instead of having to set up debuggers and connections and ehat not in your IDE...

[gosnooky]

If I use DreamBerd Enterprise Edition, do I need to use 'whilst' instead of 'when'?

[kisaragi-hiu]

13:28 Common Lisp and Scheme (including Racket) and a bunch of other Lisps also have fractions. It's pretty nice.

In Scheme and Racket, there is a distinction between exact and inexact numbers --- 1/3 is exact, and you can turn it into the floating point approximation with the function "exact->inexact" (as far as I remember).

Racket's reference documentation about numbers is a pretty good read. An excerpt:

"All numbers are complex numbers. Some of them are real numbers, and all of the real numbers that can be represented are also rational numbers, except for +inf.0 (positive infinity), +inf.f (single-precision variant, when enabled via `read-single-flonum`), -inf.0 (negative infinity), -inf.f (single-precision variant, when enabled), +nan.0 (not-a-number), and +nan.f (single-precision variant, when enabled). Among the rational numbers, some are integers, because `round` applied to the number produces the same number."

I wish the "don't skip this section" section wasn't skipped. It's very important.
