NAME
====

Acme::Anguish - Use Anguish programming language in your Raku programs

SYNOPSIS
========

```raku
use Acme::Anguish;

anguish "\x2061" x 72 ~ "\x2063"; # prints "H"
```

DESCRIPTION
===========

*Anguish* is a [Brainfuck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck) variant that uses invisible Unicode characters instead of traditional Brainfuck's ones.

Here's the mapping of Brainfuck operators to *Anguish*:

> [⁠] U+2060 WORD JOINER [Cf]
< [​] U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE [Cf]
+ [⁡] U+2061 FUNCTION APPLICATION [Cf]
- [⁢] U+2062 INVISIBLE TIMES [Cf]
. [⁣] U+2063 INVISIBLE SEPARATOR [Cf]
, [] U+FEFF ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE [Cf]
[ [‌] U+200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER [Cf]
] [‍] U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER [Cf]

All other characters are silently ignored.

The meaning of original Brainfuck characters are as follows:

> increment the data pointer (to point to the next cell to the right).
< decrement the data pointer (to point to the next cell to the left).
+ increment (increase by one) the byte at the data pointer.
- decrement (decrease by one) the byte at the data pointer.
. output the byte at the data pointer.
, accept one byte of input, storing its value in the byte at the
data pointer.
[ if the byte at the data pointer is zero, then instead of moving
the instruction pointer forward to the next command, jump it
forward to the command after the matching ] command.
] if the byte at the data pointer is nonzero, then instead of moving
the instruction pointer forward to the next command, jump it back
to the command after the matching [ command.

EXPORTED SUBROUTINES
====================

anguish
-------

Takes a single positional argument: string of *Anguish* code to evaluate.

EXAMPLES
========

See `examples` directory of this distribution for example *Anguish* programs.

BUGS AND CAVEATS
================

The `U-FEFF` character also serves as a file [BOM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark), so avoid using it as the first character in your file.
