Pronounced eks-too-whack, XTW is the successor of TEWNLSWAC.
There is a brainfuck implementation in XTW to proof turing-completeness: https://github.com/zserik/zxtw/blob/master/examples/bf.xtw
Syntax Differences
| From | To | Description |
|---|---|---|
c <label> <optional: arguments in parentheses> |
<label> ( <optional: arguments> ) | call function beginning at label,
the different handling of syntax for "no arguments" is needed to distinguish between call (<label>) and expand (<variable>). |
c: <type> <expression> |
c <type> <expression> |
casting operator |
<label> : <optional: a <arguments> ; /optional> <body> r; |
f <label> <optional: arguments> { <body> } |

| Operator | Compat Levels | Description |

3 (string) → 5 | load a plugin |
| Binary operators | ||

3 → 0 | check for type equality |
Variables within the namespace ::l:: (or l::, if you are still in global namespace) are local to the current function invocation and will be reset to the values they hold before the function call, when the function returns.
