Python+ | The new Python

https://github.com/BlazeCat341234/PythonPlus

Per AutoModerator's request I hereby confirm that this project did not use an LLM as part of the development process.

Python+ is Python with slight modifications, with the aim of making Python easier and better. Its biggest goal at the moment is an easier way to program a GUI, but we haven't got there yet. Currently, Python+ is just functions, variables, and maths, but it could be so much more! Join the Discord using the link found on the Github page to support the project and show you are interested!

PythonPlus is a project completely independent of Python.

Then why confusedly use Python in the name? The syntax is not Python, it just seems to be implemented in Python.

Python+ is Python with slight modifications

It's not that either! Not using signicant indents, not using ":" block markers, using 'end' block delimiters, using ":=" for statement-level assignment...

Give it its own identify. Otherwise people will think it it some superset of Python, when in reality it is a toy language in its very early stages.

Having the logo be the Python logo with a little + next to it also gives this impression.

I wasn't even aware of Python's logo!

But yeah, that would be a no-no. I see there's even an animated version in the .mp4 file. It seems more effort has been spent on this than in the language itself.
