Re: Making Lua unique through supporting natural language texts as valid script code

[Paul Ducklin <pducklin@...>]

“The goal is to make it look like it were natural language by smart choice of function and variable names along with inserting comments which fit perfectly in the flow of the used words creating a look of a natural language text which is easy to read and to understand.”

But programming languages are, quite purposefully, NOT natural languages, and pretending they’re not is, quite simply, pointless, like telling mathematicians that their formal notations should be thrown out and replaced with ambiguous prose instead.

Your proposed syntax would make the code harder to understand (if not impossible), and introduce needless ambiguities. If you want readable natural text that fits nicely along with your formal code…

…write decent comments :-)
