This is a test topic. It's pretty amazing.

Oh hai....
Wow, javascript *and* PHP. This is really top notch. I wonder if we can discover the true nature of the Variable here.

And editing works. Truly, this forum shall facilitate a golden age of handmade game coding.

Perhaps a suggestion: Based on what I've seen in the twitch chat, fans of this stream will have a lot to say about programming paradigms and languages and editors that might not necessarily relate to the game code itself. Perhaps we should have a more general discussion section for such topics, and maybe other community-organization related things. Just to keep this section dedicated to discussing the actual code Casey is writing.

Oh god, can I also ride this gravy train all the way to Javascript land? (No seriously, ignore the PHP.)
I'll be honest, I knew that this topic was going to be excellent from the title, but I didn't expect anything even close to this level of magnificence. Bravo, my friends, bravo.

P.S.
I believe that the only language that supports variables right now is C#, but I could be wrong. The main problem with C#, however, is that it's only a half-step from D which can be kind of a rough transition if you're not accustomed to it. Just a heads up!
Oh no no no, my friend. Javascript has variables, if you want them to be variables. You can even say they're truthy, or falsey, or unicorns. As long as they're in your browser. If they're in your javascript land, it's all how you want it to be. You just have to believe.

Source: My coworker who mostly just works in Javascript with the Angular mess I only have to touch when they make me.
I heard there will be The Variable in C++17 is it true?
My understanding was that the C++ Committee is still hotly debating whether or not variables are important to programming.

May the variable be with you.
use const for everything.

variables are overrated.
I'd like a half stack of bananacakes, please!

I am not going to be happy with this site until it loads up >2MB of JavaScript prior to rendering any content beyond a background jpeg.

Hello to everybody, it's going to be one cool journey.
