E Script is Outdated and Dead

[Austin]

Wiki - If its on Wikipedia, you know it's fact, true and accurate!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOLCODE

Open-Source C++ Interpreter:

It follows the same principles but... is more modern in syntax.

get to it, guys!

Okay it looks like there is less enthusiasm than there should be so examples shall be produced!

Hello World in E Script

Code: Select all

use uo;
use os;

program HelloWorld()
     print("Hello World");

     return 1;
endprogram

In LOLCode

Code: Select all

HAI
    CAN HAS STDIO?
    VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE

Im a big fan of the switches.
Instead of

Code: Select all

case(var)
   case: do this; 
        break;
   case: do that;
        break;
   default: do something;
        break;
endcase

LOLCode

Code: Select all

Oh, very good point, Austin. Next beta release will SURELY have at least a LOLCode->eScript converter, so we can start coding in this modern language as soon as possible. We must prepare POL for the future.

Captain Hopsalot agrees with your coding decision.
