12bitfloat
23d

Currently building a simple-as-possible source language for my compiler and I was thinking whether I really need structs and arrays as fundamental objects. But I guess it makes sense because one is a heterogeneous collection and one a homogenous collection

My thought: Let's call those types Homo and Hetero!

Maybe not the best idea ^^

    PHP managed to mix them up.
    Basically if you can use a map as an array you don't need a struct.

    @Wisecrack this, if the language i actually great, this is what would make it famous. Just pretend that it's just coincidental naming like the anally named devRant anti-spam bots.

    @retoor "this is what would make it famous"

    Both a sad statement about humanity, and probably the truth.

    But if hes gonna do it, he should lean in for bonus outrage bait (hey its free real-estate!), and say the naming choices were deliberate.

    It’s literally the other way around. The most retarded languages are the most famous.
    And the greatest languages remain largely unknown.

    If you want yours to be famous, make it as idiotic as you can. I’m not even joking.
