# yahl
YetAnotherHaskell: for the LLVM
# Description
`yahl` is mostly a personal project to explore various language constructs.
Technically, its a haskell written for the LVVM that tries to mimic conventional
lambda calculus notation in its syntax.
# Examples
## Function Declaration
Function declaration resembles traditional Haskell syntax:
```
foo x -> 2 * x
```
## Variable definition
Defining a variable in `yahl` is defined as a constant function:
```
foo -> 'bar'
```
## Lambda functions
The syntax for lambda function declaration:
```
λ x -> 2x
```
This defines an anonymous function that takes one paramters and returns twice the value.
### Multiple Arguments
Functions are curried by default so the following two expressions are equivalent:
```
λ x -> λ y -> x y
```
```
λ x y -> x y
```
## Calling a function
Function invocation resembles traditional haskell syntax
```
foo x -> 2 * x
foo 2
```
