StormScript

Not to be confused with StormLang.

This is still a work in progress. It may be changed in the future.

This language may change directly to another in a sudden.

Intro

== Data types
Number: Fractions. 0/0 is NaN and 1/0 is infinity.
Byte: 8 bits of information. Usually written as a character.
List: A list of objects. List of bytes are strings.
None: Just that in Python.
Type: A type. Can be None, Number, Byte, List, or Type.
== Syntax
Use spaces to separate different things.
Code block: Enclosed in {braces}. Can be executed.
Variables: Directly write its name as an expression will return its value.
Functions: Directly write its name will call it. It has a fixed number of arguments.
Identifier: Can contain any character that is not a predefined function but it cannot contain digits.
== Constants
\N = Number, \B = Byte, \L = List, \T = Type, \N = None
\n = NaN, \i = infinity
Lists are enclosed in (parentheses).
== Booleans?
Positive values are truthy. infinity is Truthy. 0, NaN and negative values are falsy.
Empty list is falsy, None is falsy, 0b00000000 is falsy, other things are truthy.
== Type conversions ==
Number turn into list by range (e.g. 5 -> (1 2 3 4 5))
Number turn into byte by mod 256 (257 -> 0b00000001)
List turn into number by length (e.g. (a b c) -> 3)

== Command lists <id> means an identifier, <expr> means an expression, and <blk> means a code block.

== Keywords
#<name:id><expr>            | Assign expr to the variable.
!<name:id><arg1:id><arg2:id><...><blk>
                            | Define a function.
== Control flow
~<expr><id><blk>            | For each item in A, assign it to the variable, and execute block.
*<blk/expr><blk>            | While the first value is truthy, executes the second block.
?<expr><expr/blk><expr/blk> | If the first value is truthy, returns/executes the second, else returns/executes the third.
&                           | Break from a loop.

== Calculations
><expr><expr>               | Converts the first value to the second (type).
