A procedural scripting language with even weirder expressions

Clatter

A procedural lang with kinda weird expression handling. The best way to think about this language is all expressions are functions. Pretty much everything can be thought of as a function. It's kind of lisp in the sense of s-expressions, but c-like syntax for the actual expressions.

Heres an example:

printsp(+(3 5 8 9))

And another more complicated one:

=(globalTest *(3 6)) //NOTE: all variables declared have to be initialized

//function declaration order shouldn't when calling functions

testThing("hey" 8)

testThing(concat1 concat2):
{
	=(final 0)

	if(<(concat1 concat2))
	{
		+(string(concat1) string(concat2))
	}
	else()
	{
		+(string(concat2) string(concat1))
	}

	printsp("result:" final)


	//optional return
	return(1)
}

And an example with a for loop

for({=(i 0)} {<(i 10)} {=(i +(i 1))})
{
	printsp("hello" i)
}

//if you wanted to just loop forever
for(0 0 0)
{
	printsp("hello")
}

Documentation will be available soon.
