Taki is a very bad but pretty simple scripting language inspired heavily by the earlier versions of Tcl except that everything in Taki is awful. It could definitely be a lot better with some work, but since it's already meeting its dubious requirements, that seems unlikely!
In the unlikely event that you want to add more functionality to it or embed it in another program, it shouldn't be too hard.
The taki interpreter can either run a Taki script file, or can be run
interactively. To run a file, simply use the filename as the first
commandline argument. To run in interactive mode, pass -i as the first
argument. Additional commandline arguments are made available to Taki
(see the example program).
In interactive mode, you can enter multiple lines by ending each one with a backslash. Quit with Ctrl-D.
Here's a simple example program:
func excite n {
set r ""
while {[> $n 0]} {
decr n
set r [. $r !]
}
return $r
}
print "Hello, World"
println [excite 3]
if [> $argc 1] {
println "\nCommandline arguments:"
set i 1
while {[< $i $argc]} {
print " $i - "
println [eval "\$argv$i"]
incr i
}
} { # else
println "(No commandline arguments.)"
}
