Please forget the colon of python

#javascript #beginners #programming #python

Colon is an important character in Python. You should end some statements with colon.

Any modern IDE code editor adds that colon automatically. I had used old IDE Geany. That feature is not available in that IDE.

Python is a beginner friendly programming language thanks to the syntax sugar of python. But this colon can confuce very beginners.

Some people says that colon improves the readability. But I don't know. It looks same for me without the colon.

With colon

if 'Unv is awesome!':
    print('Hello World!')
# keep editing for live results
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Without colon

if 'Unv is awesome!'
    print('Hello World!')
# keep editing for live results
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

So I thought to create my own programming language. It is named Unv. You can play with the playground or read the docs to understand it.

Please give me a 🌟 on github you love this project.
