Quickstart

Not installed? Check out install steps or use the playground.

First program

Assign a value to the variable, and print it out.

video = "Because of You";
print(video);

Upgrade this program

Use a function to do these.

ilove = |episode| {
    print("Favourite episode is:", episode);
};

video = "Because of You";
ilove(video);

TIP

print() does not have restrictions on numbers of parameters. All of them will be concatenated by space and printed out.

Upgrade again

Say important thrice.

ilove = |episode| {
    counter = 0;
    while counter < 3 {
        print("Favourite episode is:", episode);
        counter += 1;
    }
};


episode = "Because of You";
ilove(episode);

Ultimate Version

Short circuit this function if favourite episode is none.

print("Language for", __elysia__);

ilove = |episode| {
    if episode == none {
        print("I'm not a weeb");
        return none;
    }

    counter = 0;
    while counter < 3 {
        print("Favourite episode is:", episode);
        counter += 1;
    }
};


episode = "Because of You";
ilove(episode);

TIP

Function closure is not supported, meaning that a function only have the access to parameters, constants, and itself. (syntactic sugar)

Cool Tricks

Try print(ilove);, it will print out a condensed abstract syntax tree of the function.
