no-branching is an interesting concept, but that’s not what “immutable” means. also, why are there 3 synonyms for every single keyword?

Thanks a lot for finding the way Chaos language handles the decision making, interesting.

There are a lot of alternative keywords, especially for type safety and function definition related keywords, with the purpose of attracting programmers from other programming languages and making them feel at home. At least that was the intention.

No language I have ever worked with allowed a codebase with intermixed keywords for defining a function. In terms of feelings, it's as alien as it can get.
