New Programming Language - Competitor to C#?
Posted by Janak Parekh in "DEVELOPER" @ 10:00 AM
A new programming language was announced today: Whitespace.
"Most modern programming languages do not consider white space characters (spaces, tabs and newlines) syntax, ignoring them, as if they weren't there. We consider this to be a gross injustice to these perfectly friendly members of the character set. Should they be ignored, just because they are invisible? Whitespace is a language that seeks to redress the balance. Any non whitespace characters are ignored; only spaces, tabs and newlines are considered syntax."
They even have a interpreter already available. Amazing!
