Syntax: define a function

[fly-lang]

Create the Fly syntax for defining a function

Following different examples from known languages, chose the best syntax (combination permitted) by considering the most readable solution. You can also make a different proposal.

Python

def printme( str ):
   print str
   return true

Rust

fn printme(str: String) -> bool {
    println!(str);
    return true;
}

C/C++

bool printme(char str*) {
  cout << str;
  return true;
}

Javascript

function printme(str) {
  alert(str)
  return true;
}

Go

func printme(str string) bool {
  fmt.Println(str)
  return true
}

C++'s syntax looks the best if you want to declare the type that's going to be returned; it just seems kinda intuitive to declare the premises/return type of the function at first with the input then coming inside of parentheses. Otherwise, Js seems the most intuitive because it says it's a function, does the same thing with the parentheses and input, and keeps it more flexible. idk

So static typing like c++ with function keyword, looks a bit like Rust and Go but in common way:

function bool printme(char str*) {
  cout << str;
  return true;
}

Function definition:

bool printme(char str*) {
  cout << str;
  return true;
}
