Personally I think programming languages should always be uppercase or always be lowercase. No proper noun programming languages.
It's python and ruby, not Python and Ruby.
It's C and APL, not c and definitely not Apl.

Swift and Java? Wrong. Bad programming languages. Make SWIFT an acronym and understand java is a programming language and Java™ is a product

@KaiserOfNone ugh. Back in college I took databases from a guy who had learned SQL in the 80s so he wrote it in all caps but he did it by holding shift, which kept triggering sticky-keys when he'd pause his typing to tell us something.
He couldn't turn it off because of the security software so he had to reboot every time.
It meant a 50 minute class featured about 10 minutes of watching windows boot

@nonnihil I think you hit the nail on the head with the interpreted vs compiled. That's probably EXACTLY why it's like this in my head.

Thank you for all the happy birthday messages folks. This has been a strange year, and an extremely strange week for me personally. Not bad at all, just unexpected and odd and highly revealing on a level that's shaken me.

To have a little pure joy each time I checked in was tops and a lovely little normaliser :).

I'm writing rust without fully understanding the language. Pray for me.

Actually I guess that's true of most language I program in? Like, I'm sure there's some obscure python syntax or behavior I can't remember, despite calling myself a python programmer and having done it professionally for many years.

but my point was more that I barely know any rust. there's entire parts of syntax I don't understand yet. but I'm coding anyway!

handling errors and types are the two main complexities of rust that I've run into so far

I'm currently trying to handle the type of errors, so I'm completely screwed

foone OP , vor einem Tag

I am making some kind of progress. I handled my Test file.
variable references are now handled enough to not need to hardcode any of the metadata.

Next step is to actually handle looking up variables

because you're supposed to be able to use this syntax:

$red=RGB(255,0,0)
Rectangle (0,50), (200,60), $red

The first line works. The second doesn't yet.

foone OP , vor einem Tag

this was working before, and I broke it. But I'm breaking it to be more generic

foone OP , vor einem Tag

because the previous implementation was color-specific.
But you should be able to do this too:

$red=RGB(255,0,0)
$startpoint = (0,50)
Rectangle $startpoint, (200,60), $red
