Who would have thought it would be possible at all to finish a year of advent of code puzzles using #MetaLang ? Check out how I pulled this of using this very readable code on arnoldvanhofwegen.com/the/unoffici...

Most people don't know yet what to do with our Meta #programming #language, but it's just a matter of time if we keep at it. Meta is a #FunctionalProgramming language, but not a #pure one, so it's more like most languages than you may think. #MetaLang #code #dev #CrossPlatform #FP

Via #REBOL and #Logo, our Meta #programming #language descends from the original #AI language, #Lisp. Our vision is for humans and AI to work together to improve #software. Most people don't look under the hood of their car, but technicians and engineers need to. #MetaLang #code #dev #CrossPlatform

Happy new year! #Bluesky developed well last year and worked well for our #MetaLang project, albeit still on a humble scale. It allows us to find the specific audience we need, while keeping unreasonable people at bay. We will continue moving more of our communications to Bluesky.

I was a #Lotus #Notes specialist, which was directly inspired by Ray #Ozzie using #Plato as a student. Later I used the #P2P followup #Groove and several groupware systems written in #REBOL, #MetaLang 's predecessor. One of Meta's aims is to make the next step. #Bluesky is also a worthy successor.

In our Meta #programming #language, arity of function calls can be made clear by adding optional parentheses, and/or whitespace in #TreeNotation style. Arity of often used functions will be learned with practice, reducing parentheses. #MetaLang #code #dev language.metaproject.frl#features

Meta Language @language.metaproject.frl · 29/04/2024

Most #programmers are used to brackets around function calls and no brackets around operator expressions. In Meta, both are optional and a matter of style. Beginners are confused by the arity of functions, but it's easy to add parentheses. #MetaLang #code #dev language.metaproject.frl#features

#Math rules for order of operations were useful in primary school to reduce brackets. #Programming #languages have so many operators that this is too #complex. Meta has no order and reduces brackets by not requiring them around function calls. #MetaLang #code #dev language.metaproject.frl#features

The order of operations taught in #math class is ambiguous, confusing and non-standard. Our Meta #programming #language simply evaluates #operators left to right. Order can be clearly changed with parentheses. #MetaLang #code #dev #HumanFriendly language.metaproject.frl#features

Instead of making #operator #precedence a political fight that divides society, our Meta #programming #language has none. Operators simply evaluate left to right so you don't have to remember complex rules, preventing a whole class of errors. Order can be clearly changed with #parentheses. #MetaLang
