New programming feature

this already exists, it is called reactive programming.

this already exists my friendo

Life is suffering.

Did you really think no one else had thought of this?

>>61668129
nigga that's a function

>>61668198
don't feel bad anon, that idea is just about 60 years old.

Still there are a lot of open problems and things to do in programming language theory, if that makes you feel better.

>speed = time * x
t. brainlet.

;; in Common Lisp

(defun speed ()
  (* deletatime 5))
;; but really it should be:

(defun speed (deltatime)
  (* deletatime 5))

;; example:

(defun update-position ()
  (setq position (+ position (speed) )))

Jesus christ, this is bait. He posted a picture of a lambda, whew.
In case it isn't or there are other anons who want to learn. Here is how you would do this in JS, with a lambda expression.

var speed = () => deltatime * 5;

cont.
Also, it is not a good idea to do this it gets messy. It would be better to do something like

var speed = deltatime => deltatime * 5;

So that it at least follows functional programming.
It gets messy because speed depends on deltatime, well what if deltatime depends on two other variables which each have a messy web to follow when tracing code.

>>61669589
At least call it getSpeed(), you barbarians
JS getters and C# properties are more closely what op described though than functions

>>61668129

You mean a function?

float speed(){
     return deltatime * 5.0f;
}

Place it wherever you would use Speed()
