"Syntax is the easiest part of being a software engineer." This is probably the best quip I've heard all week. I'm developing a language with "no syntax", every token is executed immediately, making it trivial to create arbitrary syntax at any point in the file (literally you could define a function that implements SQL syntax and then call it - you are now using SQL syntax). I don't necessarily recommend it for every language but it's really interesting how little it actually affects the hard problems of software engineering. |
