One of the real nice things that I like about Python and Swift is this sort of high level abstraction where if you build your implementation right then the actual invocation reads simply and unambiguously like real language. Looks simple but costs nothing under the hood.

I've been writing simple game on Python as the part of learning and some of my lines looked like interaction between main character asking or telling something to cartographer. Wasn't optimal at all, but syntax looked fun.

Still prefer ZX Spectrum: 10 PRINT "Hello!" 20 GO TO 10 RUN

Did you ever try Boo back in the olden Unity days? There you could do: Open() unless opened or locked Horrendously slow language to compile, but it had some neat ideas.

Love code readability at a glance. Future me is always very thankful

I think it would read even better without those two ‘not’s e.g. if closed and unlocked

yeah they even added 'is not' for type checking for that very reason!

It is incredibly helpful. Have you dipped into the joy of how easily you can display text and make it animate with no add-ons/extensions?
