Programming's Foul Language

Oh right... Good point. Let's steal that for C# too.

Next you'll be wanting to drop the semicolon and case sensitivity.

Actually, I'd rather like the
withstatement as well."WPF has many lovers. It's a veritable porn star!" - Josh Smith
As Braveheart once said, "You can take our freedom but you'll never take our Hobnobs!" - Martin Hughes.
No! The only time I've wanted something like that was when trying to copy values from one instance(?) to another
A.X = B.Xandwithonly saves typing one of the names, I'd want to save bothwith ( A , B ) X = X(or something) -

Drop the semi-colon? And be forced _ to resort to VB's _ horrible style of _ line continuations!?!? No thanks. Though the case sensitivity... I wouldn't have to deal with code where people name the private variables the same as the exposed properties, with just case differences... Or better yet, gems like:
int num = Num + NUM;
Thankfully, I've never actually seen a line that bad, but imagine a program written like that... There's something you can't do in VB.

"Brain F$%k" is pretty foul [^]
BF doesn't hold a candle to Malbolge[^] for horror. "Malbolge was so difficult to understand when it arrived that it took two years for the first Malbolge program to appear. The program was not even written by a human being: it was generated by a beam search algorithm designed by Andrew Cooke and implemented in Lisp." "it took many years before the first non-terminating one was introduced. A correct 99 Bottles of Beer program, which deals with non-trivial loops and conditions, was not announced for eight years; the first correct one was by Hisashi Iizawa in 2007." (this isn't talking about adding a language feature; this is just figuring out how to do it in the existing malbolge language.)

You can do it with object initializers can't you?

:omg: Thanks for the info. I rather be flippin burgers at Macdonald than code in that abomination. Thank god for C# :-D

Parts of it - you can't do method invocation with it.

something something {
more of that something
}
I know some like this kind of brace style but personally I can't stand it at all. It goes so far that I tend to reformat a piece of code with this brace style before reading it :-D.

So I guess at CP does not ask programmers to write documents. Are you hiring? :)
