Introduction

Madmaan is a dynamically and strong typed language that simplifies JavaScript's syntax and looks M A D S I C K, man. Hate semi-colons? Well, try out exclamation marks! Does using "!" for "not" not make sense? Okay, use "NOT" instead, M A N. Plus, we know how ugly {} can be. S O. N O. C U R L Y. B R A C K E T S, M A N. This language explodes(compiles) into JavaScript, now go get M A D, M A A N.

Features

• dynamically typed
• strongly typed
• object-oriented
• imperative
• functional
• first-class functions
• higher-order functions
• pattern matching

For all intents and purposes, the left is madmaan, and the right is JavaScript.

Programming examples

If-else statements

if boolean then                             if (boolean) {
  showMe "First condition true"!               console.log("First condition true");
elif boolean then                           } else if (boolean) {
  showMe "Second condition true"!              console.log("Second condition true");
else                                        else {
  !  
!!                                           ;
                                            }

While Loops

while boolean do                            while (boolean) {
  showMe "This is a gr8 language!"!            console.log("You should try madmaan!");
!!                                          }

For Loops

for i is 0! i < 10! i++!                     for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  showMe "This loops 10 times"!                  console.log("This loops 10 times");
!!                                          }

Classes, instantiation, super classes, implements
