CrapScript is a pathetic excuse of an esoteric, interpreted programming language written in TS and Deno for fun.

CrapScript - A Minimalistic Interpreted Esoteric Programming Language

Introduction

Welcome to CrapScript, a distinctive, minimalistic, interpreted esoteric programming language, written in TypeScript and Deno, and designed to provide a unique coding experience. This language embraces unconventional syntax and features while incorporating familiar elements such as let and const declarations, functions, and versatile binary expressions. As of now the language isn't turing complete yet but I am working on it.

Features

Variable Declaration

let

The let keyword allows you to declare mutable variables, enabling dynamic storage for various data types.

[identifier] = [expression] ;

const

Use const to declare constants, ensuring that a variable's value remains unchanged once assigned.

const [identifier] = [expression] ;

Please note that variable declarations absolutely need to end with semicolons, however no semicolons are required for assignment or operations.

Functions

Define modular code blocks with the func keyword, supporting parameterized functions for enhanced code organization and reusability.

fn [functionName]([parameter1], [parameter2], ...) { [functionBody] }

Binary Expressions

Harness the power of binary expressions for arithmetic operations, including addition +, subtraction -, multiplication *, division /, and modulus %.

[result] = [operand1] [operator] [operand2]

Examples

Variable Declaration

let x = 10;
const pi = 3.14;

Variable Assignment

x = x + 1
y = y / x
z = y

Functions

fn add(a, b) {
    let sum = 0;
    sum = a + b
    print(sum)
}

Binary Expressions

let result = add(5, 7) * 2;

Print

let x = 5;
print(x)

Usage

To run a program written in CrapScript, simply modify the test.txt file and save it and then use the following command to run the main.ts file:

deno run -A main.ts

Getting Started

1. Make sure that you have Deno installed.
2. Fork and clone the repo.
3. Navigate to the src folder
4. Write your CrapScript program by modifying the test.txt file.
5. Run the main.ts file.

Upcoming Features

The following is a list of planned features that will be implemented in the near future :

• Objects
• Loops
• Function to read user input
• Time
• Conditional Logic
