| Yoda programming language |

I just set here programming and suddenly I inversed the order of a return so it became "x return;" instead of "return x;" So the thought struck me that a Yoda programming language would be a fun addition to the likes of chef, shakespeare etc... Of course I'm not the first guy to think of this. A microsoft emplyoee apparently took some time off blogging about getting this idea. But he didn't go very deep, and I would like to argue that his example sucks. http://blogs.msdn.com/mattwar/archive/2005/10/09/479008.aspx So I'm wondering if the members of this community can do better. if imaginative you are [Mah webshite] [Blog] |

Perl seems to do everything backward to me. Maybe it is the Yoda language? -- |

I'm still waiting on the Chewbacca programming language: BBWWAAAA!!!("Hello World"); ------------------------------------------------- |

It wouldn't be hard to write a grammar alterer with lex/yacc that takes some-language-with-reversed-words and returns that-language-correct. -- |

But how would you do exception handling, since there is no try? --- |

Doesn't Polish notation (for calculators) fit the bill? Otherwise, if this Yoda language took off, there wouldn't be a need for allegro.cc to aid beginners, since "There is no try, there is only do!" "I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it." - Mark Twain |

Yoda does not need to worry about exceptions, his code is infallible. --------------------------------- |

Perl does something similar: print "Hello World!" if ($test == 1); -- |

Quote: question = (2b||!2b) No, that's already the question, you don't have to set it. question == (2b||!2b)

No, but you're stating that "that is the question", you're not asking "Is that the question?" -- |
