I wanted to say, hope all friends, clients, and colleagues had a very
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I also noticed an unusual way to use keywords, so I made a poem to test
it. The script below does compile and run. Can you guess what it will
output?
on mouseUp
-- livecode lullaby & syntax wrinkle
-- by curryk a la twinkle, twinkle
local local,
global prop;
put put and get and not stop
put put and put after if;
get get and get is in it
put len(get) into go
put live after with; get show
put word go-1 of (mask \
&& code && script) into ask
go card go; put then into if
if if is then then ask ask with with
-- (sing a little faster on the last line)
end mouseUp
Tested on LC 5.5 and 7.01 on Windows. The idea is to be somewhat
soothing, and confusing, but have a familiar ring to it for die hard
coders. Don't sing this while operating heavy machinery.
I hope 2015 is going well for all. I'll pop up again soon with updates
for FT and WordLib, and maybe a new project!
Best wishes,
