Hints and Tips for Developers

Things you should consider before starting coding in this language:

1. The current version does not support variables or fields, maybe this feature will be added in future releases;
2. The only return type which functions currently support is void;
3. The language does support exceptions. They can be thrown by calling throw_banall("<class>", "<detailed message>");
4. You can return either nothing (just by calling return) or a tempban followed by duration parameter (see example programs). Note that returning a tempban anywhere outside main() function is useless (at least until I add variables and fields, so it becomes possible to record return value);
5. If the interpreter receives anything except a tempban when execution of main() method finishes (empty return value/ exception/Java exception etc.) it will ban itself for 1 week. The same thing will happen if interpreter faces with a ParseError;
6. If the interpreter receives a tempban it will ban itself for a period that you specified in the function parameters.
