# UMPL
## About
UMPL is a highly verbose, both c and lisp-like language.
With UMPL we stive to break backwards compatibility, so have fun trying to write the same code for different versions of the language, if this project even last long enough.
At UMPL to fix the null problem, we have invented a new type called hempty, which is the same as null, but it sounds better, and it adds to the long list of null like types across all the programming languages.
All bug reports head straight to /dev/hempty
# Installation/Building
## Building
- Install rust and cargo
- Clone the repository
- run `cargo build --release`
## Installation
- cargo
- Install rust and cargo
- run `cargo install umpl`
- releases
- Download the latest release for your platform from [here](https://github.com/mendelsshop/UMPL/releases)
## Case conventions
Variables in UMPL must follow the kebab-case naming convention and have no uppercase letters.
All internal keywords case depend on compiler options.
## Examples
To see example code for UMPL you can see [this directory](https://github.com/mendelsshop/UMPL/tree/main/umpl_examples), and to look at the formal language grammar refer to [this file](https://github.com/mendelsshop/UMPL/blob/main/grammer.md).
## IDE Support
There is semi working VSCode extension for UMPL, you can find it [here](https://github.com/mendelsshop/UMPL_VSCode_Extension)
## compiler options
umpl [`File`] [`Options`](#options)]
### Options
- `-r, i`: start the REPL
- `-h`: print the help message
- `-t=`: set the toggle case for keywords
- `-f`: put forceful mode on, useful for when you write a program via the REPL
- `-e`: turns on evil mode
along with other dark secrets hidden in the code.

## Types
### number
Number is a hexadecimal floating point number, when shown to the user it will be in decimal.
valid examples: `0xa`, `0x14343.a1`, `10`, `10.1`
### string
String is a sequence of characters. string start and end with ``` ` ```.
#### string-escape-sequences
| Escape sequence | Description |
|:-:|:-:|
| `\n` | newline |
| `\t` | tab |
| `\r` | carriage return |
| `\b` | backspace |
| `\f` | form feed |
| `\a` | alert |
| `\v` | vertical tab |
| `\e` | escape |
| `\\` | backslash |
| ```\` ``` | single quote |
| ```\x{hex}``` | hexadecimal value in ascii representation |
| `\u{hex}` | Unicode character |
### boolean
Boolean is either true or false.
### hempty
Hempty is the same as null, but it sounds better.
### File
File is a path to a file.
## Declarations
| name | description | usage | special keywords | special variables | example(s) |
|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---|
| create | creates a variable | create var-name with literal or expression| N/A | N/A| ```create num-var with 5```
```create str-var with ((input `>> `))>```
```create var with str-var```|
| list | creates a list | list var-name with [literal or expression literal or expression]| N/A | N/A| ```list num-list with [1 3]```
```list str-list with [8, ((input `>> `))]```|
| potato | declares a function | potato emoji-name num-of-arguments ⧼code⧽| return literal-or-expression| for each argument you get `$argument-number` i.e. `$1` for the first one etc. | ```potato 😀 2 ⧼return ((plus $1 $2))>⧽```|
## Control-Flow
|name|description|usage|special keywords| example(s) |
|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---|
| if statement| if boolean is true do if code else do else code |if {boolean: literal or expression} ⧼if code⧽ else ⧼else code⧽|N/A| ```if {true} ⧼(`true`)>⧽ else ⧼(`false`)>⧽```
```if {not((true))>} ⧼(`true`)>⧽ else ⧼(`false`)>⧽```
```if {boolean-var} ⧼if {true} ⧼(`true`)>⧽ else ⧼(`false`)>⧽ ⧽ else ⧼(`false`)>⧽```|
| loop statement | loop until the code reaches break of continue |loop ⧼code⧽ |break, continue| ```loop ⧼ if {true} ⧼(`true`)> break ⧽ else ⧼(`false`)> continue ⧽⧽```
## Keywords
To call a keyword you first need create an expression so ()> or ()>> or ()< and in the expression you put another pair of parentheses and the keyword and its arguments
| name | description| parameters | returns | example(s) |
| :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :- |
| plus | if the first argument is a number, returns the sum of all the arguments, if its a string, each argument after is concatenated to the string, anything else wont work | any*1: argument | any | `((plus 5 6 7))>`
```((plus `s` true 7))>``` |
| minus| sets the first parameter to the original value each next argument is subtract to it unless there is one argument in which case it is negated returning the negative value of it | number*1: argument | number |`((minus 5 6 7))>`
```((minus 1))>``` |
|multiply| if the first arguments is string, multiplies the string by the next argument, if its a number, sets the first parameter to the original value each next argument is multiplied to it, any other thing does not work | any*1: argument | any | `((multiply 5 6 7))>`
```((multiply `s` 7))>``` |
|divide| sets the first argument to the original value each next argument is divided by the previous divisor | number*1: argument | number | `((divide 5 6 7 3))>`
```((divide 1))>```
|not| returns true if the value is false, false otherwise | [boolean: value] | boolean | `((not true))>`
`((not boolean-var))>` |
|or| compares value1 and value2 and returns true if either is true | [boolean: value1, boolean: value2] | boolean | `((or true false))>`
