to me method names are imperatives, like when we order the dog to walk.
dog.walk() = "Dog, walk!"

[lady for lady in ladies if lady.is_single] just doesn't have the same bop.
list comprehensions aren't changed much. but a statement like dog = Dog(name="fido") is transpiled to the dog is now a Dog with name 'fido'
the language uses backticks for strings. it handles nested stringly nicely because of it
Can I just say that as someone who only codes tangentially to my work, code and documentation that uses the same word 2 or 3 times in an expression, when they mean different things, is such an immense pet peeve of mine when learning something new.
I'm already struggling with everything else about it, and now I have to parse out which lady is which and what the hell each one is supposed to be
object Object(object = object);
Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged.
That's just Python's generator syntax. Not all that difficult to parse once you get a feel for it. Plus syntax highlighting helps.
(OUTPUT_EXPRESSION for ITEM in INPUT_ITERABLE if CONDITION)
it's list comprehension syntax, not generator syntax
Buffalo_buffalo::buffaloBuffalo.buffalo(Buffalo.buffalo);
p.s. I'm on mobile and this is a shitpost. I did not put a lot of thought into this code. Feel free to suggest a more accurate representation.

fuckoing
meh, close enough
It's not theDog.walks(), it's 狗.走()
Conjugate this you anglocentrist fuck!
I would imagine the class would be aDog and when you instantiate it the variable would be theDog.
"the dog" maps to dog, the = maps to "is now", and Dog() maps to "a dog", and (name="Dog name") maps to "with name dog name"
So no, you're wrong, lmao
I've already written the transpiler
And that brings us back to BASIC.
I feel like I'm walking into a trap here but:
This pedant is using an adjective as an adverb.
(...)you don't conjugate your verbs right.

Cunning linguist, he he. I wonder if they're friends with Colonel Angus.
