This looks like a great language for the upcoming Advent of Code

Just what I thought! Although I will probably try it in the beginning only. Because the complexity of the tasks increases, and a new concept of writing code often messes with my cognitive processing.

Decades ago, someone wrote a source filter for Perl that allowed for programming Perl-wise in Latin. To the point of conjugating and declining correctly, or at least in a manner that resembled correctness.

I figure with a sufficiently commanding voice you could do much the same with that as with this.

Neat! Reminds me of Mystical - a language where every function is a magic circle.

Oh neat! That gives me some ideas for novelty gifts to programmer friends.
