OK?

[Kent Sharkey]

OK[^]:

OK? is a modern, dynamically typed programming language with a vision for the future. OK?'s mission is to do away with the needless complexity of today's programming languages and let you focus on what matters: writing code that makes a difference.

Because I haven't posted yet another new language in WEEKS, OK?

[David ONeil]

let a = switch isprod {
case true: "prod";
case false: "dev";
}

And he has already lost his case for making a new language. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: C did it better, long ago.

if (isprod == true) a = "prod";
else a = "dev";

the ternary operator looks like ... there's really only a handful of humans left on Earth who are capable of parsing that stupifying syntax.

Oh. I would say that they have read too many trinary operations, and turned their head to mush, but they were stupid before that point. Forcing single-line switch cases: gut laugh! ... ... Now I feel stupid. This has to be a joke, and I fell for it. Nobody in their right mind would limit themselves back to 8 character variable names, or force themselves to have to use let x = !(a >= b); let y = !(b >= a); x || y instead of a != b. Nobody. Right? Or is this world that far out of whack? :omg: :omg: :omg: Is Jesse Duffield your pseudonym, Kent, and you did this as an elaborate hoax? If so, my hat is off to you. That took some effort!

Of course it's a satire. The name itself was a hint, "Nulls Are Not OK" was clearly silly not just being opinionated, and anyone who didn't catch on after "One Comparison Operator" needs to take the rest of the day off because their brain's left for the weekend already.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

My hat is off to them. They seem to have taken it all the way, with working code and everything else by the look of their git install instructions. Someone seems to have had _way_ too much time on their hands. By the end of that read I was completely blown away by how stupid the ideas in it were. The only thing they could have done to complete the farce was to make goto the only flow control statement. Just for them, thanks to you:                                                                                             X| X| X| X| X|                         X| X| X| X| X| X|                             X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X|               X| X|                             X| X|                X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X|           X|                                                X|      X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X|      X|

Darn it! It seems Chris shrunk the page width. Or is that only on my system? The chud overfloweth!

Are you on fixed layout (or otherwise a narrow screen)? That will break it.

[David ONeil]

No. I'm on Normal - it doesn't even have a 'Fixed' option. Using Vivaldi, but FF and Chrome also give the narrower view that breaks it. Even on fullscreen. It seems like Chris narrowed the collumn.

I believe (but not 100% sure) that the RH column width was increased when the "Straw poll" was added to the Lounge page. But: With Edge, when you pull the window wider, when you increase the window width beyond a certain limit (which isn't very wide), the center area stops growing. Rather you have white margins outside both LH and RH columns. On Firefox, the center area width continues to grow, with no outer white area, and there is no line overflow. If you use an ad blocker, pages other than The Lounge, such as Insider News, have a a wide RH column with no contents. With no ad blocker, there will be ads, but with Firefox, they fill the column with no wasted outer white border. With Edge, space is wasted both for ads and this outer whitespace. I recognize the need for ads, to finance the site. But the outer whitespace, especially when it appears with one browser and not the other one, I consider to be a CSS bug that should be fixed.

TL;DR; Google tried with their Go! If it is worthwhile, I'll encounter it and that only happens if it is "better" (more intuitive, logical). It's prolly not; the existing languages had a somewhat larger investment backing them.

Layout width is a separate setting controlled at the bottom of the page. Values are fixed and fluid. Once a year or so fluid setting gets reverted to fixed by the internet gremlins.

Even though it's satire, he makes some good points. :laugh:

Satire is sometimes the best way to get a point across. :thumbsup:
