Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Idea: a programming language that controls how many times a for loop cycles by the number of times a letter appears in a given word, e.g., "for each b in blueberry".
And the language's main data container is a kind of stack, but to push or pop values, you have to wrap them into "boats" which have to cross a "river", with extra rules for ordering and combination of values.

Only dutch/german people can create the very long loops.

.You can take my bitterballen from my WARM FRIENDLY HANDS! No really try some, there are also vegetarian variants.
(They are part of the Inventaris Immaterieel Cultureel Erfgoed Nederland (Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Netherlands), only 2 loops though)
you'd think so, until outsourcing to turkish subcontractor happens

Is it a loop if it only executes once?
Time for some Set Theory!
... but the output is not deterministic as the letter count is sampled from a distribution of possible letter counts for a given word and letter pair; count ~ p(count | word = "blueberry", letter = 'b')!
Even bigger picture... some standardized way of regularly handling possible combinations of letters and numbers that you could use across multiple languages. Like it handles them as expressions?
