Edgy Script

Edgy Script: a modern, slow, barely-documented programming language for no purpose.

This projects contains three modules:

• e80, the interpreter and native provider API
• esrun, the script that runs a given ES-Script
• esdk, which is a collection of java classes that provide a sdk for Edgy Scripts

Examples

1. The classical Hello World:

use stdio;

print("Hello World!\n");

2. A stupidly long version of the Hello World:

use stdio;

var hello = "Hello";
var world = "World";

print(hello + " " + world + "!\n");
# better: printf "%s %s!\n", hello, world
// should not make a real performance difference though

3. An enhanced Hello World with more features:

use stdio;

print("What is your name? ");
var name = $string[input()];

print("Hello World, " + name + " here!\n");

4. Enhanced Hello World with Easteregg

use stdio;
 
printf("What is your name? ");
var name = $[input()];
 
if name == "Stormtrooper":
    print("These are not the droids you are looking for!");
else:
    print("Hello World, " + name + " here!\n")

Code inside $TYPE[] is evaluated at runtime as Edgy Script code, and optionally being cast to the non-bligtory TYPE, input is a function of stdio that returns user input upon pressing ENTER.
Comments are either made by putting // or # in front of a line or /* and */ at the beginning of lines to have everythign in between (inclusively) commented.
A ; at the end of a line is allowed and considered good practice but not needed.

2. Clone the repo
   • type git clone https://www.github.com/edgelord314/edgy-script into a CLI
3. Build e80 and the esdk using maven
   • cd into the repo (cd edgy-script)
   • cd into the e80 project (cd e80)
   • build it using maven (mvn clean install)
   • cd into the sdk project (cd ../esdk)
   • build it using maven (still mvn clean install)
4. Run a script using esrun/esrun.sh
   • cd into the esrun project (cd ../esrun)
   • run the script using the esrun script (./esrun.sh path-to-file.et)
