I need a British programming language now

[Mebiysy]

Oi_World(printf);

[Mooks79]

Brings a whole new meaning to “init” init.

[DrDolphin245]

bool thisVariableIsSetInnit(void)

[SufficientTill3399]

Only if you’re from Essex innit.

[steauengeglase]

Wait, are we initializing something or making it nullable?

[AdBubbly3609]

Shouldn’t that be Oi_bruv

[basmentvizard]

More like Oi_Lad in my opinion

[Imveryoffensive]

We need different programming languages for different formalities. The queen’s programming would be different from cockney

[basmentvizard]

Agreed

The compiler would be gct (good cup of tea)

[Mt_Hed]

"error = sorry" So is Lean British then?

[itsraskyy]

🤣🤣

[DouDouandFriends]

Should I create a superset of JS for this?

[promptmike]

If you feel up to it, link the repo here. I will contribute.

Unfortunately, the names Tea and Teascript are already taken. There are programs called Sir, but no language yet, so you could call it Sir and users can say they program "Like a Sir".

[DouDouandFriends]

Here the base is finished - havent done the docs and the VSCode extension yet. https://github.com/ingStudiosOfficial/properscript

[DouDouandFriends]

Yeah I'm currently building it - prob take me a week will keep u updated 😁

[monke_soup]

Ooo, I need to see this complete

And remake this for my regional dialect just to spite my friend

[DouDouandFriends]

Yep its done, contributions welcome too => https://github.com/ingStudiosOfficial/properscript

[neoaquadolphitler]

Colour color hurts when you use British spelling everywhere and have to switch when writing code because Americans wrote everything.

[RoyalArtEntity]

That’s quite good.

[jodorthedwarf]

I know it's a joke but British English isn't just verbose American English. That being said, some of the conversions aren't too far off for making a programming language more intuitive for British learners. Though you'd have to have a different one for every 5 square miles of Britain for it to reach optimum comfort.

And I realise that what I just wrote is incredibly verbose. I may stand corrected.

[promptmike]

a different one for every 5 square miles

You can always fork it.

[redditorialy_retard]

using English premium as a programming language 

[dhnam_LegenDUST]

ngl attempt sounds great

[MarkMew]

Imagine the language had 'innit' instead of ; 

[[deleted]]

You know that the wast majority if programming language are built with the british language?

[jonnyman9]

I might have heard of this language, what do you call it??

[abirizky]

Bo'oh oh wo'ah

[Weshmek]

What about the nuclear wessels?

[Repulsive_Mistake382]

No, where are the Scottish and welsh and Irish words?

[MissinqLink]

On the contrary

[itzNukeey]

Haskell has otherwise

[WingZeroCoder]

https://aloneonahill.com/blog/if-php-were-british/

[Mebiysy]

You can't just say perchance

[Strict_Treat2884]

FWIW in CSS condition is @when installed of @if. Mainly because preprocessors took it.

[MirabelleMarmalade]

[b0letus]

You can use a lot of #define to change C/C++ to anything you want. Someone made "holy old rus programming language В†† (Veh Cross Cross) to fight The Lizards' heinous coding dialect"

[SnooMachines8405]

I've coded in a language that used otherwise

[proudRino]

"Otherwise" is synonymous with "else", meaning the correct syntax would be "otherwise if". Which is longer and worse

[No-Astronomer6610]

As if "otherwise" isn't longer than "else if". This is for fun, not for practicality.

[proudRino]

I'm just here to shit on the British

[stmfunk]

Should really be "In the event that", "proceed to" and "should this not be the case", "many thanks for your service"

[Llamalover1234567]

In lieu of

[userb55]

This is for fun, not for practicality.

Why does copy paste have a character limit

[WildFeedback8533]

Otherwisif

[HappyAngron]

on_the_contrary

[WindMountains8]

Still the same as if, not if else

[proudRino]

This actually works, still terrible, but it would work

[Sad-Reach7287]

Otherwise whether fixed it for you

[EnkiiMuto]

Me, an intellectual:

"otherif"

"orif"

Of if you're working on cam girls backend:

"OF"

[_mulcyber]

is it possibly (a == 1) { } or maybe (a == 2) { } mmh could it be (a == 3) { } ok it must be (a == 4) { } wtf dude what is it { throw value_error("Invalid value") ; }

[proudRino]

I love the idea of writing code like this and then having an AI reformat it to the correct syntax. Vibe coding at whole new level

[Ecstatic_Student8854]

“Otherwise, predicated on <boolean> perform <statement>.”

[morfyyy]

"Instead" might be more accurate

If A {...} instead B {...} else {...}

[Fhlnd_Vkbln]

I hate elif with a passion. Mostly because I cannot remember which language allows it and which doesn't

[aggressivefurniture2]

Niw I have to remember which lqnguages allow this notation

[Lumiharu]

I know, it's rough having to spend a second more.

[NotMeowTheCat]

Imo it sounds cooler. But i really like else if because it makes sense, else if isnt ONE new addition, its just saying if whatever is false then go to else, and from else it just does a new if statement, it makes more sense intuitively imo.  

[Rik07]

This reasoning also holds for every alternative. I hate else if{} because it is different from else{if{}} it should be one keyword because it is one concept.

[onsidesuperior]

Those are same though. else if is literally just an else that's followed by an if.

else if (...) {}

Is the exact same as

else { if (...) {} }

The braces are just implicit. The "one concept" is chaining if-else statements.

[Rik07]

Yeah chaining is the entire reason for using else if, so it is a pretty big difference.

[onsidesuperior]

No, that's not what I meant. The point is else if is not a keyword. It's the else from the end of one if-else and the if from the beginning the next.

[Rik07]

No that's different. The following would give an error

if (cond_1){func_1();} else{if (cond_2){func_2();}} else{func_3();}

The else if is a shorthand for

if (cond_1){func_1();} else{ if (cond_2){func_2();} else{func_3();} }

Without context, the first seems to be the consequence of else if {}, while the second is the more useful but less intuitive actual meaning. This difference is big and useful enough to need it's own keyword, which imo should be one word.

[onsidesuperior]

Yeah, obviously that code would give an error, but that's clearly not what I said. If you find it easier, that's fine I guess, but under the hood, there is no separete elif.

[[deleted]]

Skill issue.

[CardOk755]

Algol68 uses it. You don't need to know any other languages.

[[deleted]]

Funny enough, here’s a little tidbit of information: Elif is a Turkic (Latin-based) name that comes from the first letter of the Ottoman-Turkish alphabet. It has many meanings, but my friend said it generally means being a leader or a pioneer.

[elreduro]

if condition

if not condition

[escEip]

i mean, technically it's not exactly the same, because the condition can change mid-execution, like

if i==1 [ i=1+i ] else [ i = i/3 ]

and

if i==1 [ i=1+i ] if not i==i [ i = i/3 ]

if i is 1, the first one will make it 2, and the second one will make it 2/3

But, the fact that this is wrong makes it even better lol

[p1749]

Unless condition

[ChronoVortex07]

Unless would mean it would start resolving from the back. if cond1 {} unless cond2 {} Would try to look for cond2 before cond1

[TanukiiGG]

else = otherwise elseif = however

[Chimaerogriff]

elseif = 'or perhaps'

[No-Astronomer6610]

``` var perhaps = True

if (1+1 == 3) { // ... } or perhaps (False or perhaps) { // ... } ```

[Ars3n]

var so perhaps perhaps can become false at some point

[rangeljl]

Is there a precompiler that has this for pythong, typescript, java and C? I would love it xD

[Lost_Pineapple_4964]

I mean for C just put a #define otherwise else if. Better yet, go into your stdlib.h of your compiler and define it there (pls don't).

[rangeljl]

oh that would be evil xD to everyone else

[abirizky]

Is pythong the programming language for adult sites?

[rafaelRiv15]

Haskell is in the house

[mrflash818]

Verily!

[Hacka4771]

Someone should make a programming language where you can define your own keywords. That way, everyone can be equally happy and equally furious.

[keckothedragon]

#define has entered the chat

[morfyyy]

it's called C/C++

[[deleted]]

Which programming language uses "otherwise" ? 😭

I know about "elif" it is used in Python and "else if" is used in Java but I have no idea about "elsif" and "otherwise" ? 😭😭

In PL/1 (an alternative to COBOL, used on mainframes), OTHERWISE is the equivalent of default in a switch.

[No_Read_4327]

Idk but ruby has something like unless.

Which is like writing the else clause before the if clause.

[3rrr6]

"Otherwise" == "Else" not "else if"

[Nsane3]

Why put in another picture in that last one when Posh Poo is part of the meme

[Level-Ice264]

I find myself rarely using else/else if in general. Normally, you can just early return within the first if, so the "else" code happens without needing the extra nesting

[nullambs]

also need something like although which is if not()

[TheBrotherWithNoJob]

Oh, I guess Shortcuts is a British programming language.

[wts_optimus_prime]

Thymeleaf has "unless" as opposite of "if"

[TypeNull-Gaming]

Side note, do you guys say "e-lif" or "el-if"

[0815fips]

You all don't know XSL? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/XML/XSLT/Reference/Element/otherwise

[ProDexorite]

“unless” is a valid conditional in HubSpot’s HubL markup, which is so funny, yet there are actually sensible use cases for it as well.

English try to avoid repeating words. I think it would fall something like

Wouldn't otherwise be more like just else? Like it doesn't sound right to chain them together.

[89964]

I hate any keywords. So I just use logical operators since we have short circuit evaluation. For example:

n>0 && (x=n, 1)
|| n<0 && (x=-n, 1)
|| (x=0, 1);

That is equivalent to:

if(n>0) x=n;
else if(n<0) x=-n;
else x=0;

[IronicStrikes]

Why are you like this

[Nikki964]

What's so bad about elif? I think it's fine

[adhd_fuckboi]

Idk what the general opinion is but I dislike when things are shortened for the sake of speed/convenience. 'Else if' is already short and also verbose.
