## Relog Syntax

Relog is a type system, not a programming language. It is not Turing Complete, it is Strongly Normalizing.

The basic syntax of a Relog program is defined by unifications, followed by a result.

Unifications have a left-hand-side and a right-hand-side separated by an equal sign with a semicolon after each unification:

```
Pair
= Pair;
```

Results are a single term and can reference unification variables bound by previous actions:

```
Pair

```

An example program might represent the application of a function `a -> Maybe` with argument `Int` which would look like below:

```
a = Int;
Maybe

```

when running this program the unification will bind `Int` to `a` and return the result `Maybe`.
