There’s a special place in hell for you

Also each line starts with a semicolon and you have to escape spaces in strings using a double forward slash

This deserves to be added to the list of human rights violations

<fun>
  <name>sum</name>
  <in>
    <int>
      <name>foo</name>
    </int>
    <int>
      <name>bar</name>
      <default_value>
        <int>0</int>
      </default_value>
    </int>
  </in>
  <out>
    <int>
      <calculation>
        <numerical_operation>
          <operator_plus>
            <operand>
              <var>foo</var>
            </operand>
            <operand>
              <var>bar</var>
            </operand>
          </operator_plus>
        </numerical_operation>
      </calculation>
    </int>
  </out>
</fun>

The whitespace is not only required, but it must be tabs and spaces.

I like it, this is clearly very enterprisey and solution focused, but I would like to suggest a couple of amendments if I may?

• Namespaces We should make full use of namespaces. Make the structural tags be in a language specific namespace (to be referenced in every function spec, obviously) but change the in an out params to use the parameter name as the tag, namespaced to the function they’re for, with a type attribute.

• In memory message queues Have all function invocations be marshaled as xml documents posted to an in memory message queue. Said documents should use a schema that validates the structure and a function specific schema to validate the types of arguments being passed. Namespace everything.

I reckon we could power a medium sided country if we could generate energy from the programmers despair.

Can you please link to a medium article on how this will help utilize AI blockchain so i can show it to management on Monday?

Make sure to make ample use of mixed content elements.

<statement><var>bar</var> = <int>0</int></statement>

You monster

Who hurt you :(

Oh my, I feel woozy …

The tag indentation is a required part of the syntax and don’t forget colons at the end of the tag

That’s basically how the Android app Tasker works. You do the programming through its UI, but when you export/share your tasks, they’re saved as xml

I took every coding class my highschool offered, and the only thing that drove me more crazy than this syntax was trying to use CSS.

I almost did similar with SDLang as I was very desperate for a scripting language, but now I have a wasmtime API for D.

…but intended for web, but you can also misuse it for apps and system services

…to an intermediate set of instructions for a virtual machine…

…called the brainfuck interpreter

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.”

This is so cursed wtf

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.

Make it completely ignore indentation

Oh boy, make Pythonscript a dialect of SQL but for frontend

Honestly if someone irons out the edge cases, python probably could JIT compile to machine code via cython. It would take a fair bit of memory and probably a bit slow on low powered systems but it would be so much faster if cached.
