Comment Comment by wryl It's a general purpose programming language who's main paradigm is rule-based pattern matching.A sample. <> (-- ?x) () -- (Now we can add comments to what we are doing.) -- (Let's add some alternative syntax for defining rules.) <> (?x -> ?y) (<> ?x ?y) -- (Let's add some boolean operators, 'and' and 'or'.) ((true) && (true)) -> true ((true) && (false)) -> false ((false) && (true)) -> false ((false) && (false)) -> false ((true) || (true)) -> true ((true) || (false)) -> true ((false) || (true)) -> true ((false) || (false)) -> false -- (Some alternative syntax.) (?x and ?y) -> (?x && ?y) (?x or ?y) -> (?x || ?y) -- (Let's build an 'if' statement.) (quote ?x) -> (quote ?x) (unwrap (?x)) -> (unwrap ?x) (unwrap ?x) -> ?x ( if ?c ?t else ?f ) -> ( if/else ?c quote ?t quote ?f ) ( if/else (true) quote ?t quote ?f ) -> ( unwrap ?t ) ( if/else (false) quote ?t quote ?f ) -> ( unwrap ?f ) -- (All together.) if ((true) and ((false) or (true))) ( Hooray! ) else ( Boo! ) parent wryl 2 years ago
