Syntax vs Operator vs Function (2026)

syntax vs operator vs function

in programing language design, one of the problem is syntax vs operator vs function.

in most mainstream langs, you cannot tell it's operator or just syntax. For example, in JavaScript, new is an operator. typeof is an operator, not function.

in many functional programing languages, it's unified. all operations are functions, and all functions have operator syntax forms.

fuck, the c cpp clowns. this is one pervasive damage by their influence. the c cpp coders, they typically dunno what you are talking about, at all.
