An esoteric programming language, in TypeScript for heaven's sake.

P.S. Install the VSCode extension for syntax highlighting!

Running

• To run a specific file: npm run bussin <FILENAME>
• To run in repl mode (Bussin only): npm run bussin

Bussin

You can find an example at /examples/main.bs

Bussin X 🚀

We, at Bussin, believe everyone should be entertained while coding. Meet our alternative: .bsx.

Inside Bussin X, you can use BS syntax, however, it's recommended to use the BSX syntax described below.

Variables

Mutable variables are created with:

lit x be 0 rn

You can also create a constant variable:

mf x be 0 rn

Note: You can only use rn on variables.

Data Strucutres

Strings

Strings can be created with:

lit x be "Hello, World!" rn

You can also insert variables by using:

lit x be 0 rn
lit y be strcon("Hello, ", x) rn

Or you can format your string to include variables:

waffle(format("Hello, ${}", "World"))

However, you must use your regional currency symbol.

waffle(format("Hello, ${}", "World"))
waffle(format("Hello, €{}", "World"))
waffle(format("Hello, £{}", "World"))
waffle(format("Hello, ¥{}", "World"))

Numbers

Numbers are simple:

lit x be 34 rn
lit y be 12 rn
lit z be x - y rn

Note: We, at Bussin X, believe decimals are redundant. You can only use positive values too.

Booleans

Booleans are also simple:

lit x be nocap rn
lit y be cap rn

Objects

Objects are essential in programming languages. Bussin X supports them too:

lit x be cap rn
lit obj be { key: nocap, x } rn

obj.key be cap
waffle(obj.key)

Arrays

We, at Bussin X, believe arrays are redundant.

Comments

We, at Bussin X, believe comments are redundant. Code must be understandable without English.

Functions

Functions in programming are intricate entities that serve as modular units of code designed to perform specific tasks with a high degree of abstraction and reusability. These multifaceted constructs encapsulate a series of instructions, often comprising algorithmic operations and logical conditions, which execute a well-defined purpose within a larger program. Functionality is delineated through a meticulously crafted signature, encompassing parameters and return types, allowing for parameterization and value transmission between the calling code and the function body. The complexity further burgeons as functions may exhibit a plethora of characteristics, including but not limited to recursion, closures, and the ability to manipulate variables within their designated scopes. Their utility extends beyond mere procedural decomposition, often intertwining with the paradigms of object-oriented, functional, or imperative programming, depending on the programming language employed. The orchestration of functions, with their nuanced interplay, results in the orchestration of intricate software systems, promoting maintainability, readability, and the efficient allocation of computational resources. In essence, functions epitomize the sophisticated essence of programming, embodying the elegance and subtlety required to navigate the intricacies of algorithmic design and software engineering. You can create functions by using:

bruh perform(x, y) {
    x - y
}

We, at Bussin X, think return statements are redundant. Instead, our superior functions return the last value emitted.

bruh perform(x, y) {
    x + y // will do nothing
    x - y
}

If statements

If statements in Bussin X are very intuitive:

sus (1 fr 1){
    waffle("1 is 1")
} impostor sus (1 nah 2){
    waffle("1 is NOT 2")
} impostor sus (1 fr 3 carenot 1 fr 1){
    waffle("1 is 1 or 3")
} impostor sus (1 fr 3 btw 1 fr 1){
    waffle("1 is 1 and 3. how's that possible hello??")
} impostor {
    waffle("How did we get here?")
}

Loops

Loops in Bussin X are very easy:

yall(lit i be 0 rn i smol 10 rn i be i + 1){}

Because we, at Bussin X, believe programmers should be responsible for their code, we did not add any break or continue keyword functionality to loops.

Types

Types in Bussin X are very important!

lit num: number be 0 rn

You can assign types on non-matching values too.

lit num: object be 0 rn

You can also assign types on values themselves.

lit x be nocap: boolean rn

You can assign types on types too.

lit x: number: number: object: string be 3 rn

In fact, you can use types anywhere!

yall: number(lit: object i: number be 0: object rn i smol 10 rn i be i + 1){
    waffle(strcon("Currently at ", i): object)
}: object: object: string

Note: Types don't do anything, in fact, they're removed before the lexer kicks in.

Try Catch

Bussin X also supports try catch statements:

fuck_around {
    waffle(null + hogrider)
} find_out {
    waffle(error)
}

Cannot resolve 'hogrider' as it does not exist.

Note: find_out doesn't return anything, "error" is a global variable.

Extra

Math

You can utilize the math helper by using:

waffle(nerd.random())
waffle(nerd.sqrt(144))
waffle(nerd.pi)

Even though Bussin X doesn't support negative (-) or decimal (.) numbers, we added helper functions for your anxiety:

waffle(nerd.ceil(3.4))
waffle(nerd.round(3.9))
waffle(nerd.abs(-2))

Time

You can access the current time by using:

waffle(time())

Command Line

You can run terminal commands by using our Blazingly Fast 🚀 ClapBack() feature:

mf res be clapback("ls") rn

waffle(res)

Note: Clapback will throw an error if failed. Better pair it with fuck_around & find_out.

fuck_around {
    lit insult be clapback("rm -rf /") rn

    waffle(insult)
} find_out {
    waffle(error, ":(")
}

New in 1.1.0: yapping

lit x be yap("watcho name > ") rn
waffle(x)

Note: The user won't see the text he types, but you will successfully receive the text after the user presses Enter.
