An interpreted, dynamically typed general purpose programming language written in Go.
Note: The documentation of loco is currently WIP and will be available soon.
Expressed as a list of features, Loco has the following:
- C-like syntax
- Variable bindings
- Integers and Booleans
- Arithmetic expressions
- Built-in functions
- First-class and Higher-Order Functions
- Closures
- Data Structures like string, array and hash.
Loco supports the following data types: null, bool, int, str, array,
hash.2
| Type | Syntax |
|---|---|
| null | null |
| bool | true false |
| int | 0 11 -10 |
| str | "hello my string" |
| array | [] [1, 2] [1, 2, 3] |
| hash | {} {"a": 1} {"a": 1, "b": 2} |
| float | 1.6 321.16 |
Here's how we can bind values in loco.
You can use 'let (var) = (expression)'
>> let age = 1;
>> let name = "Loco";Note: The let statements can also be used to bind functions to names.
>> let a = 10;
>> let b = 20;
>> (a + b) / 2 - 3
12>> let a = 10
>> let b = a * 2
>> let c = if (b > a) { true } else { false }
>> c
true
>> if (true) { 10 } else { 20 }
10Note: Loco does not support else-ifs (Bummer! I know, I just wanted to implement the basic if-else).
Loco supports two type of operators: Prefix and Infix operators.
>> 1 + 2 + (3 * 4) - (10 / 5);
13
>> false != true
true
>> 500 / 2 != 250
false
>> !true;
false
>> !false;
true
>> let a = -10;
-10
>> !-5;
false
>> -true
null
>> !!!!-5
true
>> "Hello" + " " + "World";
Hello World
