🌟 Features

• Familiar JavaScript-like syntax with var, const, and func
• Must use semicolons
• Anonymous functions using ->
• Arrays and objects as first-class values
• Conditional statements (if, elseif, else), loops (while, for)
• Import system for adding libraries
• Full math library (abs, sqrt, sin, cos, tan, floor, ceil, pow, log, exp, random, and more)
• Built-in true, false, and nothing (Thyddle's None)
• eval and pyth functions for dynamic Thyddle or Python execution

✏️ Basic Syntax

Variables

var name = "John";
const age = 25;

Functions

func greet(name) {
    console.output.println("Hello, " + name);
}

greet("Alice");

Anonymous functions:

var greet = (name) -> {
    console.output.println("Hi, " + name);
};

Arrays

var numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
console.output.println(numbers[0]);  // prints 1

Objects

var person = {
    name: "John",
    age: 30,
    greet: (other) -> {
        console.output.println("Hey, " + other.name + "!");
    }
};

person.greet({ name: "Alice" });

Control Flow

if (age > 18) {
    console.output.println("Adult");
} elseif (age == 18) {
    console.output.println("Just became an adult");
} else {
    console.output.println("<18");
}

while (condition) {
    // code
}

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i = i + 1;) {
    console.output.println(i);
}

📦 Importing Libraries

import "lib/standard";

println("Hello, world!");  // thanks to lib/standard

Standard Library Highlights:

• println, print, input
• arr.combine(array, separator)
• arr.map(array, function)
• string.split(text) → split text by every character
• string.reverse(text)

File IO Library:

• fileio.write(path, content)
• fileio.append(path, content)
• fileio.read(path)
• multi_line(array) → joins array into newline-separated string

Math Library (built-in, complete):

• math.abs(x)
• math.sqrt(x)
• math.sin(x)
• math.cos(x)
• math.tan(x)
• math.asin(x)
• math.acos(x)
• math.atan(x)
• math.atan2(y, x)
• math.sinh(x)
• math.cosh(x)
• math.tanh(x)
• math.asinh(x)
• math.acosh(x)
• math.atanh(x)
• math.floor(x)
• math.ceil(x)
• math.pow(x, y)
• math.exp(x)
• math.log(x)
• math.rad(x) (degrees to radians)
• math.random.randint(min, max)
• math.random.uniform(min, max)
