Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.43,0:03:17.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is because the language is simpler

Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.14,0:03:27.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a language like Java\NI would say

Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.34,0:04:21.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that Quorum doesn't use braces;\Nit uses sort of indentations
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.72,0:04:24.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it uses the word, keywords instead\Nto indicate the end of loops.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.43,0:05:00.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's really easy because\Nyou don't have to add in
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.01,0:05:08.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all the semicolons and all the annoying\Nhash tags and "@" symbols and everything.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.19,0:05:12.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You just use words basically\Nwhich is way easier
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.29,0:05:14.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than using all those\Nconfusing symbols
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.60,0:05:17.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I think that makes it easier\Nfor me to program in Quorum
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.98,0:05:19.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than other languages.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.32,0:05:32.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we don't have\Nto add semicolons

Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.35,0:05:36.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They made it easier.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.47,0:05:40.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can just type in a word,\N"output" let’s say, for example,
