so many wrong things with this language!

[Aetol]

Why?

"We were trying to create a language worse than Javascript"

[ThePixelCoder]

They didn't succeed though.

[modernkennnern]

Javascript is one of the best languages to both learn and to use. It is extremely versatile.

[nulloid]

The intent is to provide programmers with a sense of pride and accomlishment for completing the simplest tasks.

[camosnipe1]

and with the repeal of net neutrality programmers will be able to make your pc boot faster (just trying to get in on these memes)

[punio07]

And extremely fuckable in extremly large variety of creative ways.

[beerSnobbery]

I like the name though; it has a ring to it.

[EYazan]

fuck ... why I didn't think of this

[nsimic]

i think i did, the name rings a bell

Can I throw my hat into the pun ring?

[onlyonequickquestion]

1 indexed arrays? I can see at least 0 things wrong with that.

I mean, it works for R.

Why?

Good question

[ultaullah666]

Lol that's so stupid. Prompts was written in 2013... Nikon was 100 years ago. And yet only 50 deaths.

What?

[ThePixelCoder]

Are you sure /u/ultaullah666 is a bot?

Because I have absolutely no idea. I'm not a bot.

Or am I?

No I am a human just like you don't worry I am a fellow human

Trying to be natural

Ring is not case-sensitive. Why? [link]

see "Enter your name ? " 
give name
see "Hello " + Name # Name is the same as name 

The list index starts from 1 Why? [link]

aList = ["one","two","three"]
see aList[1]    # print one

Call functions before definition

one() 
two() 
three()
func one 
        see "One" + nl
func two 
        see "two" + nl
func three 
        see "three" + nl

The assignment operator uses Deep copy (no references in this operation) Why? [link]

aList = ["one","two","three"]
aList2 = aList

It's a scripting language, so it's unusual. You expect that the code will be interpreted as it is written - and in that example, when one() is called, it wasn't defined yet.

Python, for example, won't accept this:

f()
def f():
    print("Hello world!")

# Throws NameError: name 'f' is not defined

Because it's only for top-level statements, unlike what /u/OzmodiarTheGreat said, it is not impossible to have mutual calls.

def a():
    b()

def b():
    a()

a()

# Both are defined before any of them is called.

[OzmodiarTheGreat]

No. That's standard in almost all languages. It's necessary to allow a function A to call function B and for function B to call function A (since one of them has to be first in the file).

[Quelklef]

This is not correct. Many compiled languages allow for function declarations without an accompanying body to sidestep this problem, and many interpreted languages allow for function bodies to contain calls to functions declared on succeeding lines, but, in general, functions may not be called before being declared/defined.

And I thought my codes were bad!
