Look - it's not too late (so long as you don't want to be paid). ROGUE is still alive and living in Dungeon Crawl.
Surely you could help in that endeavor? For example, you could create a new dungeon offshoot for obtaining an orb that is modeled after Whales, or if you really want to go dark, model it after France.
But you can still be a part of something enduring and oh-so-much fun.

Here is what s programmer who often speaks bad or broken English would type when programming. The code he would add is something like:
var mike
If (mike =jerk) Than
mike=0
end
var less_then
if (joe = less_then ) than
joe=100
end
joe.status = definately
Then the log reads:
Compiler error: Unknown keyword "Than"
Compiler error: Illegal variable name "less_then"
Compiler error: Illegal grammar "definately"

Um. I don't really get your point.
Yes, that's rubbish code.
No, it won't compile in any sensible language. Even English.
But quite why you posted it here I have no idea.

Don't you speak in your mind when writing code? If this happens then do this, but you type out c#. If your English was not very good, you're c# would also not compile.

I think the whole point was to get to the (highlighted) punch line:
Compiler error: Unknown keyword "Than"
Compiler error: Illegal variable name "less_then"
Compiler error: Illegal grammar "definately"
To give whomever it is a break, I'd say it must have seemed funnier when he/she thought of it when it actually turned out.

Exactly. If the compiler catches it all, then why is it even a problem to be discussed?
If it doesn't compile, it shouldn't be checked in. Which means I'll never get to see your broken code.
(well, not any code that breaks any syntax rule...)

Maybe take it to "Weird and Wonderful" ?
It does point out why computer languages should not be based on natural language.

Better yet...

Nah ... the compiler is a mate (a good mate, but not besties) - the debugger is his best friend!

Pfft, no. The debugger is more like a programmer's mother-in-law.

In many popular programming languages that if statement will always resolve as true and you will be mutating mike to be a jerk.
So in effect, generalising for many popular programming languages, mike is always a jerk based on the code above.

I am so tempted to make a comment on that, but given the current climate, anything I said would get me into trouble...

Is this a commentary against IDEs not picking up the mistakes before compilation? Or about developers who simply don't have the skills to code being offered jobs, without adequate on the job training, making life hard for others in the team? Or are you simply bashing the 80% of the Earth's population that don't speak English?

I think he's bashing the people who do speak English, but never paid attention in school.
