Language
Value Types
Identifier
A refrence to a procedure or variable.
Quantity
A number with a unit, e.g. 4.2 kg or 4 ft. If the unit is undefined, the quantity is treated as simple number.
Unit
A unit for a quantity, e.g. kg or ft.
string
Defines some text, e.g. "Hello World!". It may be multiline and contain references, e.g. "At location $A you will find ${name}" (with single-letter
variables you can omit the curly braces). Special characters can be escaped with a backslash, e.g. \$ writes a $ instead of treating the next letter
as reference.
Strings will automatically be parsed as Quantity (with unit), if necessary, e.g. 4 * "2" will return 6.
List
A list of values, e.g. \[1, 2, 3\] or \["a", "b", "c"\].
Maps
A map of values. e.g. \{a: 1, b: 2, c: 3\}.

Chaining
The language allows value chaining as common principle, e.g. 4 m 20 cm. This is a chain of four elements: two qantities without unit and two units.
This statement will have a quantity with the value 4.2 m as a result.
A chaining operation will always be executed on two values and it will perform some special tasks, depending on the involved value types.
