Q-LANG

Idea by @thea@eldritch.cafe.
You can code only using the letter q.

Project structure

• q-pilator (WIP) is the interpreter/compiler
• q-pidon (WIP) is the code generator

Language spec

Q-lang is a single threaded language, code is written on using q-dir and q-file sequentially (q -> qq -> qqq).

A q-dir contain at least a q-file named q and can contain an arbitrairy number of q-dir and q-file

A q-filecan contain either an data or instruction.

Instruction is always implied.

Glossary

• f is a file
• dir a directory
• ... meaning repeating

A scope refference the curent execution calling a function make the scope local to this function meaning once the call end memory is cleared.

Instruction

number of q	INSTRUCT	ARGs	Structure	Details
0	STDOUT	DATA
1	WRITE VAR	name - scope - DATA	f,f,dir
2	READ VAR	name	f
3	FUNCTION	name	dir	function are always using the smalest scope possible
4	CALL	name - DATA	f, dir

DATA

Data type are always prefixed by a q-file containing type info (number of q).

number of q	Type	Structure	Details
0	boolean	f	bool
1	unsigned int	f	u32
2	signed int	f,f	i16
3	char	f	ASCII
4	array	dir \rightarrow (f,data...)	u16
5	exec	dir \rightarrow INSTRUCTs	exec return the data contain in the first cell of the local registry
