Is Programming Puzzles & Code Golf the right place to ask my question:
Which programming or description language has the most / least reserved words?
The question will have rules to limit the answers :).
Rules:
- The language is a
- imperative,
- declarative or
- functional
programming language (PL) or
- a description language (DL).
- The language can be a domain specific language (DSL).
- A reserved word is a
- keyword,
- built-in function and
- contextual reserved word.
- A keyword is a word that can not be used as an identifier like
if
. - Built-in functions or procedures are functions built into the language and are not part of a library. The are always accessable in all scopes and can not be unloaded from the current scope. Example:
print
- Contextual reserved words are reserved words in a context. Outside of the context they can be freely used.
Example answer:
Language: VHDL (Very High Speed Hardware Description Language)
Type: Description Language
Keywords: 115
Built-ins: 0
Contextual: 0
---------------------------
Reserved words: 115
