a language called Kotlin is now one of the preferred few for Android
development.
According to https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/basic-syntax.html
it looks like this:
fun maxOf(a: Int, b: Int): Int {
if (a > b) {
return a
} else {
return b
}
}
I've got a vague recollection that this is not the first
recently-defined language which, at least for special cases, puts the
type after the variable or function name. But apart from bowing to
dominant usage (braces rather than begin-end and so on) this does
appear remarkably Pascal-like.
Oh for god's sake... yet another language with similar syntax just like
fpc/golang/nimrod, yet another language to learn that does almost
exactly the same thing as FPC but with slightly different syntax ;-)
At appears to be stolen from Qomp/fpc/golang definitely, possibly a
little Nimrod
