Filmstock is a very simple esolang that revolves around not having a stack at all and being untyped. The language has C-like syntax and a text substitution macro system.
Noteworthy, the language has simple 2D Raylib bindings built-in, which allow to create interesting graphic demos.
Lore
There was once a time of peace in Double-Floatania. But then the two rulers of the lands started arguing. These legendary figures were arguing about single vs double standard floating points. Many battles were fought and many lives were lost in this meaningless endeavor. The confrontation finally ended with the horrible event that is colloquially known as Filmstock. Filmstock is a language which was conceived by the Doubleainian King in a McDonald's. He thought to himself: "To prove my point I will create the worst piece of s language which has ever touched this realm." 9 months later the language was born and Floatania was in havoc. After a decade-long bloodbath the Floatanian King finally surrended. The war was over. But the Doubleainian King was not content. What was the point of winning the Double-Floatanian war? Will there really be something to argue about again? Maybe. Maybe...
