Notes For My Future Programming Language

In some time, I'll fork JS and make my own language based on it, but simpler. This is how variables will be defined:

// was
const path = 'https://example.com/test/spec'
let result = await test.me()
result = await test.me.again()

// becomes
the path = https://example.com/test/spec
a result = await test.me()
result = await test.me.again()

Using quotes for strings is plenty annoying and I wish JS could infer what I mean to define a string, since https://example.com/test/spec would throw anyway.

Then we've learned to use consts but I'm more at ease with lets now because typing const every time is just long. It's all about simplicity and shortness. The less the better. In fact, I tried to skip defining vars altogether which is actually pretty nice. Then you see that const is actually 5 letters and is so-so long. Ofc it gives you anxiety in tests that a variable might leak out of the test case scope without const, but hey it's so much fun without all these rules.

Further, if statements:

// was
if (test == 'ok') { await fetch('https://hello.world') }
// also was
if (test == 'ok') await fetch('https://hello.world')

// became
if test == ok await fetch https://hello.world

Always having to put () brackets after if is really annoying me. Whereas the curly braces can be skipped, for some reason the () can't and I don't see why. If there's a logical expression after if surely in many cases it's possible to deduct what the human meant. Same goes for variables of functions I guess. Just cut all that punctuation crap out of the language. That's what I call style.

Surely a language can accommodate for simple syntax like this. I'd also remove all imports to cut the chore and make installed packages' API global variables. Then I don't have to waste my life on bloody imports.
