Hey everyone, sorry for the late post. I kind of got busy with some stuff and I meant to post it on tuesday but I forgot, so it’s here today. Kind of like last week, this topic was requested by @UnsignedArduino.

* * *

This week’s (2023-06-25T22:00:00Z→2023-07-01T22:00:00Z) topic is

👨‍💻 **Which programming languages and frameworks are you familiar with?**

For me, it would be

- Python (3.x) - very thorough knowledge
  - Django, a web framework based on Python

- HTML + JavaScript + CSS for web development
- TypeScript (MakeCode and in general)
- Currently _learning_ SvelteKit, Tailwind CSS and Node.JS

I also understand C and C++ syntax, but that’s pretty general  
Extra stuff: I can write RegEx really well, I also know git commands which is super useful

What about you guys?

Hmm, a tough one!

- I’m fluent in HTML + JavaScript + CSS for websites too! Although my graphic design is… poor XD
- While technically I am fluent in JavaScript that isn’t for website development… my knowledge is 5 years old and I was mostly only able to retain the stuff I needed for websites.
- I am working on learning C++, and might start Python or Roblox scripting sometime!

I’m fairly well versed in:

- Python
- C/C++
  - Usually using PlatformIO plus Arduino framework.

- TypeScript (and therefore JavaScript by extension?)
  - Mostly NextJS for web development.
  - p5.js as well.

I’ve tried:

- Java (it was for AP CS A 😬)
- ~~The :crab: language.~~ Rust lol

Nothing, practically…

The only way I know how to code (so far) is with blocks, and let me tell you, I am _ **TERRIBLE** _ at that…

- **b l o c k** (_Scratch_ed my DS lite’s screen :c)
- quite not much more!

I think he might be refering to a “mockup” scripting language, but who knows, maybe the guy really made a whole real working language! If that’s so, could we get a sample of the syntax?

I’m OK at Html and Fluent in Makecode Typescript. Funny thing is I barely use those two and just code in blocks.

Something others have said too, I just forgot since I assumed it was just kind of a given: Yes, I know blocks as well - this is MakeCode after all 😂

Yes, the syntax is pretty logic-based as it has the “db.section.action” format.

* * *

### The following is a Hello World program in MielScript.

* * *

```
mscript.onstart {
 mscript.sys.importdb('ms-text')
 mstext.text.print('Hello, World!')
 }

```

* * *

As you might see, it’s relatively simple.

Do you only have the syntax rules set or do you have a working version?

- C# + C++ (Lots of Visual Studio)
- MGPL (I made my own language. Yeah, I’m THAT much of a nerd lol)
