A simple programming language for those who don't give a f**k
Each Galera source file must have galera extension and package. The package must be defined at the top of the source file. Package might be documented using /* */ comment style.
PackageClause = "package" PackageName .
PackageName = identifier .
Example:
package 'foo'
/*
This package contains tools for network programming.
*/
package 'net'
Type defintion : galera <Type_Name> { <Name1>, <Name2>, ... : <Type> }
Example:
galera Foo {} // empty class / map / or whatever you want
galera Foo {a,b,c:int, atoi:(string) -> int}
Initialization : <Type> { <field>:<val>, ... }
Foo {a:15, c:1}
a is set to 15, c set to 1, b remained uninitialized and value equals to zero
Function type : <Name> ([<Type>]) -> <Type>
Example:
galera atoi (string) -> int
Inheritance : <Type_Defintion> <Type1> <Type2> ...
Example:
Bar {a:int}
Foo Bar {b:int}
foo = Foo{a:1, b:2}
Namespaces : <Name_Space1> { <Name_Space2> { <Type> } }
Example:
galera App {
Foo {
Bar {
a: int
}
}
}
bar = App.Foo.Bar{a:1}
Should be obvious; no need to explain.
Branch : (cond) ? { when true } : { else }
Example:
( a < b ) ? { a + 1 } : { b - 1 }
Loop : (cond) :: {}
i:int = 0
(i < 10) :: {
i++
}
Foreach : (val : arr[]) :: {}
arr:int[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
(i : arr) :: { print(i) }
Comments serve as program documentation. There are two forms:
- Line comments start with the character sequence // and stop at the end of the line.
- General comments start with the character sequence /* and stop with the first subsequent character sequence */.
