I drew from multiple languages — Python, JavaScript, even a little C-style flavor — to make something that’s readable, expressive, and beginner-friendly, especially for quick scripting in .NET.
Appreciate the suggestion! I’ll make sure the SYNTAX.md is linked more clearly from the README.
Appreciate the kind words regardless — and who knows, maybe I’ll experiment with optional semicolons in a future version.
Only later did I find out it had been labeled as malware by Microsoft — no details, no warning. I emailed their support to clarify what triggered the flag, but I never got a response.
Since then, I’ve made the entire source public here, including the VSCode extension, so folks can inspect and use it freely. If anyone has experience navigating these kinds of takedowns, I’d definitely appreciate insights.
The idea was: W++ aims for a syntax that feels lightweight like Python (minimal boilerplate, indentation structure), but it also borrows C-style flow and expression flexibility. So technically it’s a bit of a hybrid:
Block structure + minimalism = inspired by Python
let, const, switch, and lambdas = more JS/C-style
I’ll clean up SYNTAX.md and the description to better reflect that. Appreciate you pointing it out!
