A language made of dashes, which interacts with the terminal. I call it DashCon.
I've heard that the original version of FORTRAN, because they expected programmers to write their code on paper and then have the secretary punch the actual cards, allowed spaces everywhere.
Granted, they didn't make a semantic difference, since it was just to make sure that a person keying in a multi-word name didn't mess anything up, but it apparently did mean that the compiler often needed to look at the end of a control structure to figure out what it was parsing. Is ON FLAG a variable or is it an ON statement? Only time will tell...
i've tried to use DashCon but every time i write something in it, there's so many compiler warnings that fixing them is like a compulsory extra hour in the -Wall pit
