ALIMBIHNN

A Language I Made But It Has No Name

The language is supposed to be similar to English written text and rather easy to use and read. Each line ends with a dot (.) unless it is the end of an if-statement (ends with :) or end of if-clause (ends with ;).

The language operates on cells and a stack. Code is written in lowercase. If-clauses can be nested. A command consists of several words and sometimes require an argument. Input can be a number or a single character. Loops are done with a "jump to line" command (spaghetti). All programs need the "end program." command in order to stop. If the stack is used, the top value is popped. Strings require no ". The "output string" outputs a newline while "output cell as <>" does not.
