Programming language spec

November 2020



data types
	int, boolean, floating point, string, bits for function options


simple object functions


if, while, and for only


to be compiled to machine code not virtual byte code


returned variables as x( a, b : c, d ) where c & d are variables outputed by the function


memory leaks to be impossible

memory corruptions to be impossible

no variants

no operator overloading

no run-time processing to detect types etc.

strings as a fully native type

i==	case insensitive string companison


associative arrays, but integer indexing preferred

no pointer scanning but links to dynamically allocated objects

reference counts on memory objects for automatic deletion

no deletion of allocated memory from within code

for loop as for x = 1 to 100 step 5

boolean operators as text 'and', 'or'

bit operations: band, bor, bxor, bnot

string left, mid, right functions

no break, continue, or early 'return' statements

no conversion between int and boolean types

error handling by return values from functions not try/catch

comments // and nestable /* */

string concatenation operator &


compiler options
	option to intialise all variables, or not
	detect common bugs such as reuse of a loop variable for another loop internal to the first one
	check for array out-of-bounds index
	aggres optimisation, no checking of array bounds, initialisation of variables etc.
	warning for functions over x lines in length
