I sometimes idly wondered what would a programming language look like if it were filled to the brims with syntactic sugar. Now I know. It has this "it's horrifying but in a weirdly enticing kind of way, I can't make myself look away, show me more, please" kind of feeling.


You might like noulith, a hobby language written by the person who won several of the recent Advent of Code events.

The about on GitHub reads "slaps roof of [programming language]* this bad boy can fit so much [syntax sugar] into it."

They even used the language in the most recent event Advent of Code and won. https://github.com/betaveros/noulith


Wait until you learn about Raku's Grammars.


I have the same reaction every time I look at modern C++.
