| Aug 14, 2023 at 3:46 | comment | added | Ray Butterworth | "this often entails extraneous parentheses" — a common trick in C is to remember that a[b] is *(a+b), which is *(b+a), which is b[a], so rather than (&x)[y] one can write y[&x]. | |

| Aug 13, 2023 at 20:55 | comment | added | Alexis King♦ | Thanks! We’ve been trying to move away from open-ended language design questions on this site. See also Moving towards more focused language design questions. | |
| Aug 13, 2023 at 20:53 | comment | added | abel1502 | @AlexisKing okay, thanks. Although it's already a bit more narrow, since I'm asking for specifically ones preserving C-likeness. But I'll edit regardless | |
| Aug 13, 2023 at 20:49 | comment | added | Alexis King♦ | “What are some possible syntaxes?” questions are off-topic. You could narrow this question by making it explicitly about syntaxes used in existing, popular languages, though. | |
