Bespoke: A Programming Language for People Who Say Please
The article "Bespoke: A Programming Language for People Who Say Please" discusses a new language called Bespoke, designed to encourage polite programming practices. The language is statically typed and requires developers to be formal and courteous in their code. Instead of using common programming terms like "abort" or "throw," Bespoke requires explicit requests and acknowledgments.
For example, instead of writing "abort transaction", one would write "I request the termination of this transaction, please." The language aims to create a more pleasant programming experience by discouraging aggressive language and promoting clear, respectful communication.
