Introduction

This repository hosts the official interpreter for the aetherflo programming language.

Aetherflo is a hip new programming language with all of the hot new language trends:

• Variables
• Procedures
• Conditional statements
• Standard output

"If you're not already using aetherflo as your main go-to programming language, you're missing out." - Redplanet Weekly

About the Language

The aetherflo language has the following grammar:

assignment -> { expression } | : id
procedure -> def id() { statements }
conditional -> ( expression ) ? ? ( statements )
print -> & expression

An id refers to a variable name. All variables use global scope.

Each conditional statement will evaluate the given expression, and conditionally execute the given sub-statement.

Each expression evaluates to an integer. Standard arithmetic is supported with the +, -, *, and / operators. In addition, boolean logic is supported with operators ==, !=, <, <=, >, and >=.

Here is a sample program:

{1}|:x
def incx() = {
  &x
  {x+1}|:x
  (x<=100)??(
      incx()
  )
}
incx()

This will print the numbers from 1 to 100.

About the Interpreter

To compile the interpreter and run a sample app:

git clone https://github.com/notfed/aetherflo.git aetherflo
cd aetherflo
make
./floc < samples/sample.flo

The first line will compile the interpreter. The second will run a sample aetherflo app.

Credits

This effort is the result of many long hours (about 4) of work and wouldn't be possible without the result of many, many programmers working together:

• Jay
• Jonny
