leftstart
Leftstart refers to a programming paradigm that reverses the conventional left-to-right or top-to-bottom reading order of tokens in the source code. In typical programming languages, the leftmost tokens are the first to be executed, whereas in a leftstart approach, the rightmost tokens would be executed first.
This alternative perspective on programming was explored in the early 2000s as a concept for improving code
While relatively few programming languages have implemented leftstart as a native feature, some interpreters and compilers
The potential benefits of leftstart include improved code readability and easier code modification. By executing from
Overall, leftstart serves as a thought-provoking concept for reevaluating the basics of computer programming and offers
