Pycante

Introduction

Pycante is the world’s hottest programming language, taking inspiration from the functional capabilities of Javascript and blending Python to bring the user the most intuitive, pleasing experience. Boasting dictionary capabilities, and both static typing and scoping, Pycante is the future of learnable, readable, and reusable code.

Examples

Variable declaration:

let x = 12         ~ Number declaration

let str = "Hello"  ~ String declaration

let z = false      ~ Boolean declaration

Function declarations:

🌶️ add(x, y)
    let z = x + y
    return z
end

Expressions:

let addition = 10 + 20

let multiplication = 10 * 12

If statement:

let x = 10
let y = 20
if (x < y)
    x = x + 10
end

If else:

let x = 10
let y = 20
if (x < y)
    print: x is less than y  ~ This statement is executed.
else
    print: x is not less than y
end

For loop:

let list = [1, 2, 3, 4]

for (let index = 0; index < 4; ++index )
    print: list[index]
end

While Loop:

let list = ["one", "two", "three", "four"]

let index = 0
while (index < 4)
    print: list[index]
    ++index
end

Printing:

let x = 10
print: x     ~ Prints "10"

print: hello ~ Prints "hello"

Type Inference: The what(id) function is used to infer the type of a variable.

let x = 10
what(x)      ~ returns "number"

let str = "Hello"
what(str)    ~ returns "string"

let isTrue = true
what(isTrue) ~ returns "bool"

    acapella: "song w/o instruments",
    pycante: "The HOTTEST programming language",
    spicy: true.

Pycante Classes:

♨️ Pepper
    🌶️ f(self)
        return 'spice is nice'
    end
