Error handling should only be with "if"

Variable names must be generic and similar to each-other

Debugging is only done with prints

Version numbers must be incoherent, hard to order correctly, contain letters and jump in ways that don't align with the updates done.

Single letters or UTF8 symbols only. Emojis are encouraged.

Variable names should be var{n} where n = 0, 1, 2...

Pff, just use the numbers directly:

${1} = "value";
${2} = "DOGE";

That makes it possible to do stuff like:

for (${152} = 1; ${152} <= 2; ${152}++) {
    ${666} = $${152};
    print(${666});
}

This is a valid code, btw.
