Funnily enough, that is a keyword in rust.

(it's a placeholder to remove any bikeshedding)

Of all the gen z lingo yeet is the best.

It’s actually a comment on the performance loss incurred from a likely failed branch prediction.

Yeah, I love that one.

"Try" is too hopeful. "fuck_around" makes it clear that you know what you're doing is dangerous but you're going to do it anyhow. I know that in some languages wrapping a lot of code in exception blocks is the norm, but I don't like that. I think it should be something you only use rarely, and when you do it's because you know you're doing something that's not safe in some way.

"Catch" has never satisfied me. I mean, I know what it does, but it doesn't seem to relate to "try". Really, if "try" doesn't succeed, the corresponding block should be "fail". But, then you'd have the confusion of a block named "fail", which isn't ideal. But "find_out" pairs perfectly with "fuck_around" and makes it clear that if you got there it's because something went wrong.

I also like "yeet". Partly it's fun for comedic value. But, it's also good because "throw" feels like a casual game of catch in the park. "Yeet" feels more like it's out of control, if you hit a "throw" your code isn't carefully handing off its state, it's hitting the eject button and hoping for the best. You hope there's an exception handler higher up the stack that will do the right thing, but it also might just bubble all the way up to the top and spit out a nasty exception for the user.

As well as the yeet keyword, I'm really friggin' diggin' this. [modernisation required]

The whole thing was pretty damn good all the way through. The only thing that had me wondering was

Tea

Until it got to

SpillTea

Well played.

Honestly, that's about an inch away from Python...

Considering vibe is probalby float, I doubt any exceptions can be thrown there, you can eliminate another useless scope.

Even if it's not float, I'd consider burning alive anyone who overrides an operator like this anyway.

A perfectly reasonable language. None of this Gen Z rubbish.

Something something better times. Shakes stick at sky.

For some reason, this just sparked an ancient memory of the Geek Code, which was a sort of signature block you could append to your emails and online bios to show off how much of a geek you were in the geekiest fashion possible.

Goddamn I'm old.

Every generation is peddled two insane concepts:

When they are young, they are told that they have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

Then when they are old, they are told young people have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.

Then you die.

I fucking love it. Gen Z slang is so lighthearted and fun.

I always thought it was "prizes"

So you like rust https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/unstable-book/language-features/yeet-expr.html
