# The ABS programming language
ABS is a programming language that works best when you're scripting on
your terminal. It tries to combine the elegance of languages
such as Python, or Ruby with the convenience of Bash.
``` bash
tz = `cat /etc/timezone`
continent, city = tz.split("/")
echo("Best city in the world?")
selection = stdin()
if selection == city {
echo("You might be biased...")
}
```

Let's try to fetch our IP address and print the sum of its
parts if it's higher than 100. Here's how you do it
in Bash:
``` bash
# Simple program that fetches your IP and sums it up
RES=$(curl -s 'https://api.ipify.org?format=json' || "ERR")
if [ "$RES" = "ERR" ]; then
echo "An error occurred"
exit 1
fi
IP=$(echo $RES | jq -r ".ip")
IFS=. read first second third fourth < 100 {
echo("The sum of [$ip] is a large number, $total.")
}
```
Wondering how to run this code? Grab the latest
[release](https://github.com/abs-lang/abs/releases) and run:
```
$ abs script.abs
```
## Installation
The easiest way is to:
``` bash
bash <(curl https://www.abs-lang.org/installer.sh)
```
then you can:

```
## Documentation
Visit [abs-lang.org](https://www.abs-lang.org) or check the [examples directory](https://github.com/abs-lang/abs/tree/master/examples),
which contains a few short scripts.
## Contributing
Want to hack on ABS locally? The recommended development
environment is inside a Docker container — simply:
* `make build` (builds the container)
* `make run` (sends you inside the development container)
* `make test` (runs the abs tests)
After you make any change, run `make test` and check
if any errors pop up. If everything looks fine that means
you're ready to [open a pull request](https://github.com/abs-lang/abs/pulls)!
## Status
ABS is fresh and under active development; exciting
things happen on a weekly basis!
Have a look at the roadmap [here](https://github.com/abs-lang/abs/milestones):
