lemonScript

About

One morning, a young Khalid awoke and decided to finish his A.I assignment. “Gosh, I just hate python more than life itself” he muttered as he typed with a sour face. At that moment, he looked at the lemon pulp he has been collecting for the past 5 years due to his midnight lemon snack addiction. At that moment, he decided to call his much smarter and superior friend David to write him a language that everyone could enjoy. So, David formed a team with Brent, Julian, Justin, Raul, and Khalid with the intent to create a language for all lemon enthusiasts. The stage has been set. lemonScript was to be a self-explanatory, statically-typed, esoteric language with the sole purpose of saving people who had a sour taste in their mouth from using popular languages.

Coding Examples

Hello World


    When life gives you lemons try noLemon helloWorld()
        BEGIN JUICING
        pour(“Hello World”)
        END JUICING

Adding Two


    When life gives you lemons try slice add(slice a, slice b)
        BEGIN JUICING
        you get lemonade and a + b
        END JUICING

Five Numbers


    forEachLemon (slice i = 0; i < 5; i++)
        BEGIN JUICING
        pour(“Number: ”)
		pour(i)
        END JUICING

Nth Fibonacci


    When life gives you lemons try slice fibonacci(slice num)
        BEGIN JUICING
        Squeeze the lemon if(num == 0)
            BEGIN JUICING
            you get lemonade and 0
            END JUICING
        Squeeze the lemon if(num == 1 || num == 2)
            BEGIN JUICING
            you get lemonade and 1
            END JUICING
        you get lemonade and fibonacci(num - 2) + fibonacci(num - 1)
        END JUICING

Objects
