wort

A very simple concatenative programming language which compiles down to JavaScript.

Installation

You must have NodeJS and NPM to run the wort compiler.

npm install wort

Basic Usage

Wort transpiles .wort files to NodeJS modules.

wort hodor.wort

The transpiled file will be named hodor.wort.js. You can run this file by typing:

node hodor.wort.js

If you want your wort programs or modules to run in the browser, you can probably use the browserify tool on the output.

Examples

A variation on the typical Hello, World! program.

# print a message to std out
main: "Hodor!" printz ;

Sum a list of numbers using fold, a built in function.

# sum a list of numbers (prints 15)
main: [1 2 3 4 5] 0 [+] fold;
