There are ways to have more compact syntax without it turning weird,
leaving out types, and using backtick separators and other strange
punctuation (or is that lone ')' a typo?).

Start with this version:

   void draw_line( float x, float y, float x2, float y2, unsigned color)
   {
       float
        wx=dist(x,x2),wy=dist(y,y2); int m=wx<wy?wx:wy;
        float
dx=wx/m,dy=wy/m;for(inti=0;i<(int)m;i++)set_pixel(x+=dx,y+=dy,color);
  }

For example:
>
    void draw_line(f32 x, y, x2, y2; u32 colour) {
        f32 wx = dist(x, y2), wy = dist(y, y2)
        int m = min(wx, wy)
        repeat m {
            set_pixel(x += wx/m, y += wy/m, colour)
        }
    }

Summary:
>
- Allow shared types in parameter lists
- Auto semicolon insertion
- Built-in 'min/max' operators
- New repeat-n-times loop
- Shorter type names

yes there were typos and mistakes
its more like

  draw_line`x1`y1`x2`y2`color:
   `m = min abs x2-x1 abs y2-y1 ' set_pixel x1+=(x2-x1)/m y1+=(y2-y1)/m
color;

with some 'cheats as i both float and unsigned gere note by ` but ascii
has to narow charset amd i dont know unicode enough (though probably i
could look into unicode and chose some

• draw_line`x1`y1`x2`y2`color:
   `m= x2‾x1 ˩ y2‾y1 ' set_pixel x1+=(x2-x1)/m y1+=(y2-y1)/m color;
•

there are some unicode characters that could be handy for example this bullet ••••• above is good
this ˩ ˩ ˩ ˩ ˩  is also ok ...i would need probably to chose somethink like 20-30 potentially best to add - but today my eyesight quite bad so some other day
