LxLang

LxLang is a programing language. lx = Alex

Why?

For my own curiosity

Syntax:

Assignment:

Variables start with a lowercase letter and may contain upper and lower case letters, numbers, and underscores:

my_variable = 42 : Int8

Constants can only contain uppercase letters, numbers, and underscores:

MY_CONTSTANT = 42 : Int8

Blocks

Blocks are sections of code that create a new scope, they also inherit the parent scope:

{
  # ...
}

Blocks can be assigned to variables:

my_block = {}

Blocks can define parameters:

my_block = { in x : Int8 }

...and define return types:

pass_through = { in x : Int8, out Int8
  return x
}

Blocks can also invoke methods

add = { in x : Int8, y : Int8 out Int8 ret x + y }
add(1, 2) # => 3
