| ObjectScript: a new programming language |
| By Thom Holwerda, submitted by MOS6510 on 2012-09-30 20:15:02 |
| "The ObjectScript is a new programing language that mixes benefits of JavaScript, Lua, and PHP. The ObjectScript has syntax from JavaScript, multiple results from Lua, OOP from PHP and much more." |

| PHP has no benefits. And I see underscores. |

| Clojure is dynamically typed. Maybe you confused it with Scala? |

| Language Generator |

Someone should build a "scripting language generator" web site; where you can click on some checkboxes to select the features you want, click on some more checkboxes to select syntax style, then enter the new names for keywords (for do, while, for, etc). Once done, you'd click the big submit button at the bottom and it'd generate the interpreter and documentation. That way people who create a new language for no reason (except for giving other programmers the extra hassle of learning yet another pointlessly different syntax) can quickly get to the "reinventing libraries" stage. With any luck, millions of people would use the scripting language generator to create millions of new languages; and then programmers will never be able to understand source code written by anyone else ever again, and will waste their entire lives just learning new languages without ever finding time to write any code. - Brendan |

Point me out, please, fellow humans: Why is PHP so evil? |

Here is a good starting point: http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/0... I used PHP for years and still use it in some places where it makes sense (it's definitely one of the easiest languages to get working quickly and is super common on vhosts)... It could be worse, but it still pains me often enough :-) |

Thx man, gonna read it! I have been using PHP from time to time in 6 years. And I found it useful, but also very difficult to debug, even touh it's an easy way to quick hack an cms of all those frameworks... |

| I was going to create my own language once. I had a list of LISP features I was going to reinvent badly. I was good to go, but then they beat me to it. |

PHP's OOP design was supposed to be taken from Java. So with PHP you have this odd procedural style hangover from PHP 4 and Java like (but significantly different enough to make me think it is more similar to C++) OOP. Plus you got all the other horrible things that still exist in PHP. |

| Lets put it this way, between VB(.NET) and PHP. I will take VB over it anyday. |

We already have a prototype based programming language that nobody likes using. Looks alright, but I honestly don't see the point. |
