Message: [QUOTE="bearophileHUGS, post: 1812722"] The free wikipedia is adopting a standard pseudocode: [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Wikicode/Specification[/URL] MShonle says something nice: I support the idea of wikicode. Basically I think we should present code in a Python-like language that doesn't carry so much baggage. For example, we can use English sentences (or sentence fragments) instead of requiring the reader to understand some obscure Python library. (Further, Python has the baggage that there are no block-terminators: i.e., no "}" or "end"s or "fi"s or "repeat"s. By adding such terminators, we can make it a lot less ambiguous to all readers.) In otherwords, we're basically right on track: removing the quirks of Python, and making it higher-level. Bearophile [/QUOTE]
