Cringe--

Hi, I'm a Scorpio.

Cringe-- is a language crafted upon the cringeist topics and coding practices of our modern era. Every line of code that you write will have you cringing in disgust as you attempt to write functional code. We created Cringe-- because we were tired of all the BASIC programming languages and wanted to add a little more litness to our coding practices.

Building

Nodejs is required to build and run this project. Make sure you have a recent version of Node, since the source code uses a fair amount of very modern JavaScript.

Clone the repo, then run npm install. You can then run npm test.

Usage

To run from the command line: node src/cringe--.js <filename> <outputType>

The outputType indicates what you wish to print to standard output:

Option	Description
ast	outputs the Abstract Syntax Tree
analyzed	outputs the decorated Abstract Syntax Tree
optimized	outputs the optimized decorated Abstract Syntax Tree
js	The translation of a Cringe-- program to JavaScript

Some Features

• Statically Typed
• Data Structures like Python
• End your statements with two semicolons
• Compare using = and assign using ==

Examples

Hello World

JavaScript	Cringe--
console.log("Hello, World!")	retweet:"Hello, World!":;;

Declarations

JavaScript	Cringe--
x = true	boolin x == based;;

Conditionals

let x = 5 if (x==5) { console.log(x) }	pog x == 5;; vibeCheck :x=5: { retweet:x:;; }

Loops

JavaScript	Cringe--
let x = 0 while (x<10) { console.log(x) x = x + 1 }	pog x == 0;; infiniteLoop :x<10: { retweet:x: x == x + 1 ;; }

Data Structures

JavaScript	Cringe--
let emptyList = [] let nonEmptyList = [1,2,3,4]	int[] emptyList == [];; int[] nonEmptyList == [1,2,3,4];;

Functions

JavaScript	Cringe--
function exampleFunction(vibe) { if (vibe) { return true } else { return false } }	flossin boolin exampleFunction:boolin vibe: { vibeCheck :vibe=based: { dab based;; } badVibes { dab unbased;; }
