        (i 15 % 0 ==?
            "FizzBuzz" P;

Swizzle is an interpreted language built around a very simple core loop that does two things, look up functions and execute them. It doesn't need much to bootstrap itself into a useful substrate, and almost everything is completely modular and optional.

Swizzle supports:

  • inline strings using quotes: "..."
  • numbers, both single digit, and multi-digit: 1, 9001
  • single-letter function definitions: {F <function contents> } (in this case, F is the function's name)
  • single-letter variables: i
  • printf, dlsym, and exit: P, D, E
  • basic math: +, -, *, /, %
  • conditionals and loops: (1 1 == ? <true> : <false> @)
    @ indicates a loop back to the nearest same-level (, ? is just a standard
    c-like ternary operator, branching based on the value on the top of the stack
