idk

an interpreted scripting language written in haxe

I made this to learn how interpreters work ok

features

it has the basics of a programming language, but it's still minimal, such as:

• variables
• functions (and return values)
• if, else, else if
• arithmetic and comparisons
• comments with //

example

code.idk

// variables and arithmetic
x = 10;
y = 3;
result = x + y;

// functions
function greet(name) {
    print(name);
    return name;
}

// if / else if / else
if (result > 10) {
    greet("big number");
} else if (result == 10) {
    greet("exactly ten");
} else {
    greet("small number");
}

output

corecat@hx ~/idk> haxe test.hxml
[code.idk:8] big number

testing

if for some reason you wanted to try the language, just put your idk code in code.idk and run haxe test.hxml
