A quick look through the docs didn't tell me what is special about this.
It seems they're trying to design a programming language based on usability studies in academic literature?
These feels like a terrible idea. Language designer now equals literature reviewer. But who knows, maybe they'll come up with something good?
Some sample code:
Unfortunately the interpreter at [0] isn't working ("Error: Could not connect to server:")[0] http://www.quorumlanguage.com/documents/hourofcode/part1.php
EDIT: fix code formatting
Err, so if `type expr` is a variable declaration and `function expr` is a function call, how are you supposed to tell the difference between them?
Perhaps by the limited vocabulary from which `type` can be drawn, i.e. don't name your function `text` ?
It doesn't have user-defined types?!
Same. Had a quick look at the doc, the reference and the about. No where is "evidence-based programming language" explained.
I tried the online console: "Error: Could not connect to server". Great.
