vendethiel designing a language without TTIAR is fun :D 14:04
basically, no semicolon or anything like that. 14:05
a() b() c() is literally valid code
the parser just knows when the expression stops
forbids you to do some stuff obviously
why do so many languages force the semicolon when they could have it that way. heh. 14:06
masak the semicolon is a kind of clocking mechanism too, I guess. 14:09
vendethiel well, some stuff will HAVE to be ambiguous
at least if you allow EITHER infix operators OR prefix/postfix ones 14:10
masak: who knows of this channel, except for you, mouq, moritz, me, and probably jnthn/timtoady? 14:11
masak vendethiel: no idea. 15:55
vendethiel alright :P
masak vendethiel: I haven't advertised it all that widely.
vendethiel quite the opposite, even
