A language where every text is a valid program
Inspired by the Oulipian constraint set Prisoner's Constraint. Every lower-case letter that reaches above the x-height or below the baseline is a command, all other letters are ignored.
| 1st | 2nd | cmd | followed by |
|---|---|---|---|
| l | push | int to push to the stack | |
| p | k | pop | index of item to pop |
| p | h | not | |
| p | t | if | |
| p | d | end | |
| t | t | emit | |
| t | h | rot | int for how many to rotate |
| f | sub | ||
| b | mul | ||
| d | d | add | |
| d | g | > | |
| k | div | ||
| q | mod | ||
| g | while | ||
| j | == | ||
| h | dup | ||
| y | end |
Ints are marked by a string of letters indicating which value to add, starting from zero. They are always emitted as Unicode. To get floating point numbers, one must load to numbers to the stack and divide.
| ltr | value |
|---|---|
| q | subtract next value |
| k | subtract next value |
| f | subtract next value |
| b | subtract next value |
| d | 64 |
| g | 32 |
| j | 24 |
| h | 16 |
| p | 8 |
| l | 4 |
| t | 1 |
| y | end of const |
