      How do people use Wordpad for coding? I’ve never seen that done. If I ever open code in an editor with a “bold” button, I screwed up and close without saving.

        He must be thinking of notepad. Which I mean, I would not choose to code in Notepad but I wouldn’t actively avoid it like I would wordpad.

            The “my IDE didn’t recognize the file type and opened it in here by default” editor.

          WordPad was often used if a file was too big for Notepad, over 64 KB. But now there are better options.

        Idea! A programming language where text formatting has syntactic meaning! Variable declarations must be italicized! Function calls underlined! And every line justified, of course.

          Yep, violence it is then. Just like the lines: justified.

          If Chicken can be a language, that can be a language!

          And I don’t mean the actually useful programming language. I mean the esolang one where the only valid character is Chicken.
