Folks -<br>
<br>
I just came across this amazing bit of modern language design:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.staringispolite.com/likepython/" target="_blank">http://www.staringispolite.com/likepython/</a><br>
<br>
And I just couldn't stop myself. I am happy to announce Like, Squeak the modern version of the Squeak language! Just as in Like, Python you will write your code, like, in a style culturally appropriate for teh 21st century. Let's give it a shot, bro:<br>
<br>
ok so fields := #(1 2 3) ah collect:[: omg aNumber|<br>
aNumber reciprocal dude yeah<br>
].<br>
yo Transcript just friggin show: da fields toootally reversed<br>
<br>
Can you imagine the productivity boost? You just write it just the way you'd spell it! Like, Squeak opens completely new directions for any serious Squeak developer.<br>
<br>
Here is a full list of Like, Squeak keywords (which looks awfully similar to the Like, Python keywords):<br>
<br>
* Valleygirl: omg, so, like, totally, right, toootally<br>
* Frat guy: friggin, fuckin, dude, man, bro, broheim, broseph<br>
* Internets: lol, rofl, teh, ohai, plz<br>
* Snoop: yo, homey, homeboy, sup, dog, shit, girl, ma, biatch, ho, shiiit<br>
* Local: wicked, hella, anyways<br>
* Misc: just, hey, yeah, ok, um, uh, ah, actually, something<br>
<br>
Surely, this will open the door to lots of new users trying out Squeak!<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm sorry, I don't understand your banter.</div><div>Can we please add whatHo, notCricket, goodShow, oldBoy, newFangled, prang, bloody and snifter old boy? WWII banter suits Squeak better than all that new-fangled stuff by requiring camelCase to make it parse.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That's so totally not tubular ...</div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>And does this mean I have to stop writing "self doShit" in my Smalltalk code?</div></div></blockquote></div><div><br></div>Far from it. You can now even write "omg self totally doShit dude lol".<div><br></div><div>kthxbye<br><div><br><div>
