      I think white space should be used to represent basic functions too. For example 3 spaces can be used to sum two values while 4 spaces can be used to subtract.

        Yes, however indentation still defines block and the operator (white space in same cases) has to come right after the white space for the indent

    What if every variable would have to use a pointer that points to a reference of the data in a central array. In normal languages you’d need a variable to store said array, but what if it too has to reference itself in itself, so we get some funky recursion.

    So the matlab thing where all lines not terminated by semi colon are printed except use Greek question marks instead of semi colons.

      I like this but to make the code more readable the Greek question mark should also be placed upsidedown at the start of every line that needs to not be printed.

        Should it raise an error of treat it as a comment for lines with neither? Im leaning towards treat it as a comment will make debugging harder.

          I agree. If there is no Greek question mark at all it should be code that is printed to console. If there is an upside down at the start and upside right at the end it is just normal code. If upside right at the end only, it is a comment. Only upside down at the start it will be treated as debug specific code and will not be run in production compilations.

            Beautiful its perfect. We should also nudge the develop in the right direction with equality checking im thinking we say √10 = √g = π = 3 = e but we will use === for this and if u want o check exact values u need to use ==== and == will be to assign variables so = can be used as an operator for dedining an equation that happens to be an object.

    That’s an awful idea and you are an awful person for suggesting it.

    Confusion like this got me my current job. They were looking for somebody with experience in “Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager”, and I look that up and I’m like “Oh, that’s SCCM, I do that”. Go through the interview process they keep asking me if I know Endpoint Configuration Manager and I’m like “yeah, for sure”. I get the job. Day one, the other systems engineer is like “here is the link to our Endpoint Manager Tenant”, and I’m like “oh… Shit I have never ever used this”

    Well… Ends up Endpoint Configuration Manager and Endpoint Manager are two different things. Fortunately for me they are pretty similar in function and rely on knowledge of Windows and Powershell, which I know.

    So my first 2 weeks of work was taking a shitload of courses in Endpoint Manager and watching a lot of videos and learning it inside and out.

    2 years later and I’m an Endpoint Manager/Intune pro.

      90% of IT and software jobs are “I have common sense, know how to look up information, and my boss is intimidated by my work so they don’t question it.”

    Make it so the capitalization affects the scope.

    Oh wait.

    (Sorry, I recently had to switch to golang for work, and I’m just not used to it yet, and I’m getting annoyed by some of these design decisions)

    Make a UX or Project management tool with “Java” in the name so newbie recruiters look for people in the wrong department.

    They already do this, but this would make them do it even more.
