Derplang is the product of an all-nighter, lots of caffiene, and a dream. That's how lots of projects begin.
Derplang is a programming language, that was used to begin my descent into the deep dark world of programming language implementation.
Each 'function', string, new line, or or variable must be split using a colon(:). You have your procedures, which take 'arguments'. ''procedure:arg:arg:arg''
You may see procedures that take three arguments. This means that the first argument is the variable being set, and the others are being used by the procedure.
The implemented procedures are...
va - Variable declaration (va:x:1:)
ou - Output, like Print (ou:x:)
co - Concatenate strings (co:x:y:z:)
ad - Addition (ad:x:y:z:)
su - Subtraction (su:x:y:z:)
mu - Multiplication (mu:x:y:z:)
di - Division (di:x:y:z:)
fo - For loop (fo:i:cmd:x:y:z:)
The for loop is special, it does
'cmd' 'i' times and can take up
to three arguments.
ip - Input (ip:x:)
Puts input, into x similar to Lua's
io.read()
la - Label (la:x:) Can be hopped to with 'go'
go - Goto a label (go:x:) Goto x (which is a label)
eq - If Equal (eq:x:y:a:b:)
If x == y goto a, if not, goto b
gt - If Greater than (gt:x:y:a:b:)
If x > y goto a, if not, goto b
lt - If Less than (lt:x:y:a:b:)
If x < y goto a, if not, goto b
ra - Set random value (ra:x:y:z:)
Set x to random value between y and z
