sylphscript's Introduction

SylphScript 🧚

Welcome to SylphScript! 🎉

SylphScript is a programming language inspired by C#.

Features ✨

Simplified Syntax: Enjoy a syntax similar to C#!
Everything expandable: Almost every aspect of SylphScript is extendable, allowing you to customize parsers, functions, types, and more with ease.
Interactive Interpreter: SylphScript functions as an interpreter, enabling rapid development and testing of your code.

Getting Started 🚀

To start using SylphScript, follow these simple steps:

Install SylphScript: Download the latest version of SylphScript interpreter.
Write Your Code: Craft your SylphScript code using your favorite text editor.
Run the Interpreter: Execute your SylphScript code using the interpreter to see it in action!

Function Registration 📝

Before using functions in SylphScript, make sure to register them. Here's how you can do it:

string addTest(string str){
    return "Test: " + str
}

Classes and Objects 🏗️

Classes in SylphScript support object-oriented programming principles. Here's an example of defining and using a class:

class Vector{
	int X = 0
	int Y = 0
	
	Vector Vector(){}
	
	Vector Vector(int x, int y){
		Vector v = Vector()
		v.X = x
		v.Y = y
		return v
	}
	
	static Vector Add(Vector v1, Vector v2){
		return Vector(v1.X + v2.X, v1.Y + v2.Y)
	}
}

Vector vec = Vector(3, 5)
int x = Vector.Add(vec, Vector(2, 7)).X
print("X:" + x)

Value/Reference Semantics 🔄

SylphScript supports value and reference semantics, allowing efficient handling of variables:

string tstr1 = "Test"       // variable initialization
string tstr2 = tstr1        // Value would be copied
string tstr3 =* tstr1       // Reference would be copied
tstr1 =+ tstr1 + "1"        // Assignment of a new value for "tstr1" but also for all references! If you change "=+" to "=" just "tstr1" would be overwritten.
