According to
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/17/android_kotlin_java_alternative/ a language called Kotlin is now one of the preferred few for Android development.
According to https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/basic-syntax.html it looks like this:
fun maxOf(a: Int, b: Int): Int {
if (a > b) {
return a
} else {
return b
}
}
I've got a vague recollection that this is not the first recently-defined language which, at least for special cases, puts the type after the variable or function name. But apart from bowing to dominant usage (braces rather than begin-end and so on) this does appear remarkably Pascal-like.
