Notes for a Liberated Computer Language Version 2.1, August 2006 Authors: Alexander R. Galloway, Eugene Thacker Data Types Operators Control Structures Functions Control StructuresBoredom Executes a code block in a trivial, meaningless way often resulting in dull, tedious, or sometimes unexpected output. Historic Executes a code block by evaluating an entity according to its current value as well as all previous values. Exceptional Designates an abnormal flow of program execution and guarantees that it will never be handled as an error. Flee A branching construct that moves flow control from the current instruction to a stray position in the program. Maybe Allows for possible, but not guaranteed, execution of code blocks. Never Guarantees that a block of code will never be executed. This is similar to block quotes in other languages, except that "never" blocks are not removed during compilation. Potential Evaluates an entity only according to as yet unrealized possibility. Singular Evaluates an entity in a manner than does not consider the entity's membership in any set or as a representative of any universal quality. Unordered Executes a set of statements out of sequence. Vitalize Endows any entity with ineffable, unpredictable, unexplained characteristics. Read in Turkish translation. |
