Ok fine, if you want to. I still think do and end instead of curly braces/square brackets because would be better because it seems this language is supposed to be wordy so it's easier to understand. And it being weird doesn't really matter, this entire thing is kinda weird anyway. But I can't seem to persuade you and you probably wouldn't be able to persuade me too, so it'd be useless if we kept talking about this.

Anyway, by the omission of the parenthesis in the ellipses I wrote, I tried showing that the predicate thing didn't need to be enclosed in parenthesis. What do you (second person plural) think of that?

24

sure, that reminds me of Python its just

if ... :

so ESL would look like this

if...[

]

or

if... do

end
25

I think we could use break to signify the end of the program but not the end of the control statement:

if ... do
break
else if ... do
break
else do
...
end
26

sure

im thinking of switch case statements

switch $var-name start
case value1: statement break
default: statement
end
27

what will custom blocks in ESL look like?

28

Setting functions:

set function make-a-square($param1, $param2) do /*How could this be formatted to allow for spaces?*/
...
end

Running functions:

make-a-square("param1text","param2text")

How's that?

29 
void function hello world do
write "hello world" with a new line
end

hello world
30

then you can't put "do" at the end of function names. make the function name a string

void function "hello world" do
write "hello world" with a new line
end

hello world

also how would you make params

31

exactly, brackets can be used like this in english.

32

33

I mean JS is good as in readability, except some Spaghetti code

34

Not necessarily. Only certain values are legal, so it makes sense to view them as symbols rather than as text.

35

do ... done?

36

so like this

do
//insert code here 
done
37

yeah. Does that feel less weird?

38

kind of but i still like using

{
//code here
}

or

[
//code here
]
39

It's not really english syntax though...
