As if default keywords are the biggest deal-breaker.

Everyones first language should be brainfuck CMV.
Should else be big_yikes? That seems situational to me.
It’s actually a comment on the performance loss incurred from a likely failed branch prediction.
Good thing I'm sticking with GDScript.
As much as this hurts, yeet; as an alias throw; is hilarious
Of all the gen z lingo yeet is the best.
You can yoink that word from my cold, dead hands!
Ugh. Just
its_giving rizz ratios vibe;
No more needless nesting plz
Honestly, that's about an inch away from Python...
Its literally bash
I'm speaking from a descriptive naming concept.
Considering vibe is probalby float, I doubt any exceptions can be thrown there, you can eliminate another useless scope.
Even if it's not float, I'd consider burning alive anyone who overrides an operator like this anyway.
Float? Do you mean fax? Get with the program, old man
If you confused period and fax intentionally, I commend the effort.
Big "you damn kids and your phones" vibes from this
Every generation is peddled two insane concepts:
When they are young, they are told that they have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.
Then when they are old, they are told young people have a weird bizarre vernacular which sounds stupid to everyone else.
Then you die.

Aliasing no_cap and cap to true and false.....
I might have to steal that.....
I really really dig the fuckaround/findout. It paints the try/catch with a more dreadful undertone and reeks of mystery.
Yeah, I love that one.
"Try" is too hopeful. "fuck_around" makes it clear that you know what you're doing is dangerous but you're going to do it anyhow. I know that in some languages wrapping a lot of code in exception blocks is the norm, but I don't like that. I think it should be something you only use rarely, and when you do it's because you know you're doing something that's not safe in some way.
"Catch" has never satisfied me. I mean, I know what it does, but it doesn't seem to relate to "try". Really, if "try" doesn't succeed, the corresponding block should be "fail". But, then you'd have the confusion of a block named "fail", which isn't ideal. But "find_out" pairs perfectly with "fuck_around" and makes it clear that if you got there it's because something went wrong.
I also like "yeet". Partly it's fun for comedic value. But, it's also good because "throw" feels like a casual game of catch in the park. "Yeet" feels more like it's out of control, if you hit a "throw" your code isn't carefully handing off its state, it's hitting the eject button and hoping for the best. You hope there's an exception handler higher up the stack that will do the right thing, but it also might just bubble all the way up to the top and spit out a nasty exception for the user.
The whole thing was pretty damn good all the way through. The only thing that had me wondering was
Tea
Until it got to
SpillTea
Well played.
NGL, that helped me actually understand the original function. It's been over a decade since I've touched anything related to C.

As well as the yeet keyword, I'm really friggin' diggin' this. [modernisation required]
#define yeet throw
#define let const auto
#define mut &
#define skibidi exit(1)
The future is now!

It's so painfully good.
I've seen forms of this joke quite a lot in the last few years, and it never fails to make me laugh.
i hate it so fucking much
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
This was by far the best way to explain current slang.
I got all of it No Tea
And a decade or so ago it was LOLCODE that had me mildly concerned for the wellbeing of my peers.

A perfectly reasonable language. None of this Gen Z rubbish.
Something something better times. Shakes stick at sky.

For some reason, this just sparked an ancient memory of the Geek Code, which was a sort of signature block you could append to your emails and online bios to show off how much of a geek you were in the geekiest fashion possible.
Goddamn I'm old.
