Simplex

Simple Programming Language. Inspired by Lisp programming language.
It's a Lisp for everyone, and no one.

Introduction

Brief Intro

Simplex is a Lisp-based programming language (lisp-diaclet or lisp-variant), built for experimentation and educational purposes as a side project, it was meant to be different from the mainstream languages with some amazing features borrowed from many languages.

The motivation behind it was to push my limits in programming and in C especially, also as a part of my learning process to explore computer science and as a personal challenge.

More detailed documentation and tutorials is being added.

What is simplex ?

Simplex is simple programming language. Inspired by Lisp, Python, Fortran and BASIC.
With many improvements and modifications, it's my trial to re-invent Lisp.

Basic Tutorial

Printing :

(print "Hello World")

Input :

(scan "x")

Arithmetic :

(+ 3 4 5 6 7) == 25
(- 3 2) == 1
(* 3 4) == 12
(/ 12 6) == 2

Variables :

(define [a] 100)

Lists :

(define [w] [1 2 3 4 5 6])

Functions :

(fun [add x y] [+ x y])

Comments:

# This is a comment
# Multiline comment

Conditonal Statements :

# If Statement
if (<condition>)
    [<condition true>]
    [<condition false>]

# Select Statement
select
    [ (<case>) <do stuff> ]
    [ (<other case>) <do other stuff> ]
    [ otherwise (<do other other stuff>) ]

# Case Statement
case x
    [0 "Monday"]
    [1 "Tuesday"]
    [2 "Wednesday"]
    [3 "Thursday"]
    [4 "Friday"]
    [5 "Saturday"]
    [6 "Sunday"]
