Doverspeak

Any idea what programming language he's speaking? It looks similar to Java, but I don't think it is Java, as I have seen a few things that I haven't heard of in Java (do () loop, lack of ; at the end of instruction lines, &c). Is it just supposed to look like code, or is it supposed to be actual code? If it is just supposed to look like code, it might be better to say that he is speaking pseudocode. -- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.53.24.182 (talkcontribs) .

It's most likely just supposed to be code tweaked to read a little better, so yes technically it's pseudocode. However, in this use case 'code' seems to be the simplest way to convey the meaning without tying the language to any single linguistic model -- it is a made up language after all, it could very well be a valid code listing. -- JaeSharp 23:28, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
