YAPL

Yet Another Programming sKrPtYnG Language

YAPL was created purely out of boredom and a few beers. I wanted something that was pretty simple and in a coding format most people would recognize (YAML).

A basic example is like this:

START:
  - [PRINT, ["PRINTING TOTAL"]]
  - [ADD, [2.5,2.2], $total_add]
  - [PRINT, [$total_add," is the total"]]
  - [OPEN_FILE, "test.txt", $test_file]
  - [PRINT, [$test_file]]
  - [READ_FILE, $test_file, $test]
  - [LOOP, $test, [
      [PRINT, [$line]],
    ]]
  - [PRINT, [$test]]
  - [IF, $test, CONTAIN, "herp", [
      [FUNCTION1],
      [PRINT, ["This line contains herp"]]
    ]]

FUNCTION1:
  - [PRINT, ["This Function method is working"]]
  - [PRINT, ["And another one"]]

  - [IF, $test, CONTAIN, "derp", [
      [PRINT, ["This contains derp"]]
    ],
    [
      [PRINT, ["This does NOT contain derp"]]
    ]]

Then we'd run it with python main.py main.yaml.

Currently YAPL is under heavily drunken development. Some of the Python dev's out there might scream at this code, be shocked, have a stroke, or maybe get a good chuckle. That's OK, because YAPL wasn't written to:

  • Be performant like C/Rust/Go/C++ or god forbid Java.
  • Have all the fancy bells and whistles like pointers, classes, or mutable/non-mutable variables (at least not yet)
  • Static/Private functions/variables? Lol, look elsewhere my friend.

It's a pretty bare basic language. The basics of the basics. image

Anyways, if you wanna learn how this case study in Ballmer's Peak works, check out the barely updated docs here.

There's currently zero exception handling right now and little to no error feedback besides Python crash dumps.
