@user ? is the ternary operator

if its and identifier i can do:

val even? = x -> x % 2 == 0;

which is better than is_even imo

@PyGamer0 do you not have if else?

In a functional language those would be expressions

@PyGamer0 i see

If it doesn’t complicate parsing I don’t see anything wrong with it

Just not the most useful feature though

@user no

just have ?:

because this is an expression only language

and similarly i also dont have loops

Why not use if then as expressions tho?

Much, much clearer

Not to mention easier to parse

@user ...

Well I'd like to vote for if foo then bar else baz

@user how about python's bar if foo else baz ?

Eww

@user bruh

i dont like the then

Then you could do if (foo) bar else baz

that is a long winded way of the C style

i will just use the haskell one

hold on, what is ar % 2 doing there, the modulo of an array doesnt make much sense to me

also yes, i perfer cond ? code : code to if (cond) code else code

is it implicitly becoming the last item of the array?

i do feel that only having something like foo ? bar : baz as your conditional format might reduce code readability

i disagree

@des54321 frick i meant n % 2 lmao

val collatz = (n: Integer) -> {
    var ar = [];
    while (n > 1) ar.push(n =
        n % 2 ?
        1 + 3 * n :
        n / 2
    );
    return ar;
}

@des54321 that sounds like a good idea lol

having arrays sometimes evaluate to their last element might be a fun feature, but it feels more like something for rSNBATWPL than for this

@Radvylf ^

obviously i cant ping him

so i did it in tnb

btw i think i have to test the lexer

which i will do tomorrow

i may put this in a github repo at some point

@PyGamer0 I thought you weren't doing loops

Or mutability

Btw, you should take a look at Ocaml's syntax, there are some things there you might want to use in your lang

@user oh dang i forgor 💀
