Hello smith,

Sounds like a very interesting project. I visited the Patron page and did not find that many more details. As a potential supporter I'd like to know more about you and your background. I'd also like to know more about API2. Why would I take the time to learn API2 when I could use Hollywood or just C. There are other questions like will there be an IDE and stuff like that.

If you have those details and I missed them, my bad
If you have not yet posted them, I look forward to learning more.

Cheers,

I like the look of the language. Like C# but without much of the C legacy, like the stupid need for semicolon; which is quite ridiculous, especially when still present in C# and Java.

I like 'constructor' instead of the name of the class which is much less clear when reading the code.

Looks like you took the E-like way of defining variables: 'var someVar:Type'. Can you stack these with only one 'var' at the front?

The definition of return type it clearer: 'public method() => Type'

Now the *real* question: Do you support nested comments??!??!?!
/* temporarilty commented out
ordinary code
/* An old comment */
more ordernary code
*/

Amiga-E does this and I was amazed when I first realized C does not support this, and neither does C++, and NEITHER does Java, AND NEITHER DOES C# !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Supporting nested comments in >the new and better language< is a requirement and trivial to implement

If you decide to implement properties, it would be nice to have a 'self' in there that represents the backing store of the property so one doesn't have to clutter the code with extra variables, like in C#.

Hello,
More details can be found here.

I have Master Degree in Computer Science and work as software architect and developer all my professional life.

API2 is a framewrok and you can use it with C or my new language. The benefits of using new language are: no computer crashes when something went wrong, no dealing with pointers, a lot of modern concepts like classes, extensions, lambdas ets.
New language is compiled to executable file (just like C) so the same program will work faster than in Hollywood because as far as I know Hollywood uses Lua interpreter.

Everything is possible, it only depends on the amount of time that I can devote to this project.

Hello,
Thank you for your kind words about my programming language

I didn't plan this because I think it will reduce readability especially when the variables are initialized.

My thoughts on nested comments are exactly like yours so they will definitely be in the language.

This is a very good idea.
