A Holy Review

Intro

HolyC is a programming language that can be found in TempleOS and is best described as C derivative with inline assembly support.

The best way to experience this is to download TempleOS and run it on a virtual machine (like VirtualBox)

The best tutorial I can find for downloading and running TempleOS is this YouTube Video: youtube.com/watch?v=NK0lPrrdAxw

After installing to the drive and rebooting, you will be prompted with a chance to go through the tutorials

Some common keyboard commands not included in [2] are

To find a list of all the commands do Help [f1]->Key Map

*Note all commands will be post-fixed by ; since these are the direct calls to the functions themselves

Dir; to ls (same as DOS)
Cd("FolderName"); to go to the folder called FolderName within the current level directory
Ed("FileName.HC"); to jump into the editor for a file called FileName.HC

Strongly recommend going through the Help [f1]->HolyC manual to learn more

A file name ending in .Z wile Hello.HC.Z will be compressed
Main function is not needed
Convenient conditions of 0<a<=10 and the like are included
Switch statements are very optimized and are more expressive. Some things include ranges
no_warn stmt will suppress unused var warning
$ is the escape char
No #define or typedef although classes are a thing
No continue, only goto
Different printf codes (see manual)

Compiler for HolyC is JIT (just in time)
