A fun programming language without any practical value
Valid characters for idents are:
atoz-0to9(not in initial position)
Examples:
valid-ident--another-valid-ident12-34999_not_a_valid_ident
// puts `12.3` number in `a`
12.3 > a
// puts "Hello, world!" string in `a`
"Hello, world!" > a
// copies value from `b` to `a`
b > aIf the output variable (a) does not exist, it gets created
Everything is always being passed by reference. Meaning b > a does not actually copy b's value, it just makes a and b the same variable
* operator is used to dereference, i.e. to actually update the variable's value
All literal-writing operations make a new object each time they are executed, meaning in loops they do not produce the same object every time
1 > a
a > b
2 > *a
print(a) // 2
print(b) // 2, because they are essentially the same variable1 > a
a > b
2 > a // creates another value equal to `2` and makes `a` hold the reference to it
print(a) // 2
print(b) // 1* operator is also used to copy values:
list(1 2 3) > a
pop-at(*a 1) // would pop from the original list, if not `*`
print(a) // list(1 2 3)- Arguments are separated by spaces
- An argument can be either a variable or a literal
- Nesting is allowed
sum(a 1) > c
print(sum(prod(2 3) prod(4 5))){ function-name(arg)
// *function body*
}{ function-name(arg) > out-var
// *function body*
// at the end of a function call, local variable `out-var` is returned
}In functions, global variables can be accessed by prefixing variable ident with @
{ change-global-a()
2 > @a
}
1 > a
change-global-a()
print(@a) // prints `2`// a label is defined like this
tag a
// *some code*
// jumps back to `tag a` and executes `*some code*` again
go a// `go` can also jump forward
// skips `*some code*`
go b
// *some code*
tag b// infinite loop!
tag infinite
go infinite// global `if` variable is used to determine whether the jump should happen
eq(a 5) > @if
// "go if"
// jumps to `tag a` if `@if` is true
goif a
// "go if not"
// jumps to `tag a` if `@if` is false
goifn a{ print-1-to-10()
1 > i
tag loop
le(i 10) > @if
goifn loop-end
print(i)
sum(i 1) > i
go loop
tag loop-end
