This language tries to
- Be Turing complete
- Use as few reserved words as possible —
class,def,self, etc - Support prefix, infix, postfix, and circumfix operators —
!1,2+3,4!,|5|, respectively - Allow alphanumeric and symbolic identifiers to be operators —
5 @#$ 6,7 by 8,11:22pm - Have builtin web app functionality — like routing, controllers, and views
But hey, not all languages are perfect, and neither is my cholesterol. Source code of this language is processed by several Ruby programs that transform it into equivalent Ruby code, so it's more like a templating language but — tomato, tomato.
