Clean up the specs #11

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

I've made the specs more consistent and more clear, and I've also proofread them.

I think I've managed not to change the meaning of any of the specs more than absolutely necessary to make them consistant.

<rant>

I think if and logic operations should treat the same things as true and false. I'm fine with True being false and vice versa (even if it's not really in line with any of our inspiration languages, even if we do throw in JavaScript), but conditionals and logic operations should be consistant with each other. The goal is to make a horrible combination of Python, PHP, C++, and C#, not a horrible language that happens to have bits from those languages.

<rantaddendum>

Possible solution: rename if to something different, like ifnot or unless.

<rant_reply> I agree, we are getting too silly. We're trying to make a serous (...ly bad) language, not one of those esoteric languages. If should be renamed to unless </rant_reply>

Also, thank you for formatting those specs. I particularly like that bottom of stack is falsey instead of throwing an error.

ps. Can somebody make me a member of the PyHP-pph organization.

ghost commented 7 years ago

You aren't a member? oops!

I'll fix that ASAP.

ghost commented 7 years ago

Okay, I can't make you a member. @as-com, please invite @Boscillator.

as-com commented 7 years ago

@alexbuzzbee Done. Does he belong in the reddit moderator group?

Boscillator commented 7 years ago

Thank you so much. And no, I don't belong to the Reddit moderators group. (I'm /u/boscillator)

ghost commented 7 years ago

Don't merge yet, please. I'm going to switch it to RFC 2119 language.

ghost commented 7 years ago

Now ready to merge once someone else signs off on it.
