Postfix expressions are superior, no ambiguity and no parenthesis either.
file.txt cat | needle grep

How are you going to interpret

file.txt toUpper cat | needle grep

without parentheses, genius?

grep(cat(toUpper(file.txt)), needle)

No, you faggot, the problem with postfix is the ambiguity of how many parameters a function takes, for shit like cat.

If you make cat take an int for how many files to process, it's more verbose shit that's already implicit in other languages:
shit fuck piss 2 catn ...

If you make cat take only 1 file at a time, then you've got to do weird combining shit, which normal Unix cat already takes care of:
shit fuck cat piss cat combine-stdout-shit ...
and that's assuming combine-stdout-shit is fixed to just 2 args. try concatenating 3 files and it gets stupider.

It's all shit. Just put some God-damned parentheses around them, you fuckheads.

Look ma, no parentheses:

file.txt toUpper cat/2 | needle grep

Look ma, a clusterfuck of hand-picked conventions baked into function names instead of actual control over number of parameters. Fuck off.

They don't have to be conventions, dipshit. I.e. the language can make it a syntax error to call a b functionOfTwo in place of a b functionOfTwo/2. There you have it, actual control over number of parameters without any parentheses or FOIC.

How are you going to implement Lisp's progn then?

How is that infix ``|'' postfix in any way?

Name: Anonymous 2015-11-28 15:43

What the fuck? I already said in the beginning of >>44 that that's stupid and redundant. Now you want to roll that into infix punctuation within symbol syntax? I can't handle this level of stupidity.

"Here's why $X is stupid"
"Lol, we should do $SAME_X becaws its bettar! lololol"

You have some serious cognition problems. Go see a doctor.

Why would you use $X and $SAME_X to represent the same variable?

Name: Anonymous 2015-11-28 19:12

>>53
Like this:
SAME_X = $X

Because I'm dealing with an idiot who doesn't know what I already said, and wanted to express its similarity with extra redundancy in English as well as programmatically.

Pop quiz: Within cat fuck | grep shit, where is the |?
A. In front of its operands (prefix)
B. After its operands (postfix)
C. Between its operands (infix) (faggot)

Note: The two operands are, respectively, cat fuck and grep shit.

Maybe it's like Smalltalk. The message `fuck' could be passed as the message to the object `cat', while `|', `grep', and `shit' are parameters. I don't know, I don't use EUNUCHS.
