🦖 DinoLang Playground 🦕

Welcome to DinoLang!

Step back in time to the Mesozoic era of programming! DinoLang is a primal, yet powerful, language designed for simple, direct operations. Forget complex frameworks and modern paradigms; DinoLang gets straight to the point, just like a hungry T-Rex.

Inspired by the raw power of assembly, DinoLang provides direct control over variables and basic arithmetic, making it perfect for understanding fundamental programming concepts without getting lost in abstraction.

Features

• Variables (FOSSIL): Declare and assign integer or string values to your data. Think of them as ancient artifacts holding precious numbers or messages.
• Arithmetic (GROW, SHRINK, HATCH, SPLIT): Perform basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on integers. These operations are expressed in a prefix notation, reflecting the directness of dinosaur actions.
  • GROW A B: A + B
  • SHRINK A B: A - B
  • HATCH A B: A * B
  • SPLIT A B: A / B (integer division)
• Output (ROAR): Make your program roar! Print the value of variables or expressions (integers or strings) to the jungle output.
• Input (HERD): Gather information from the herd! Use HERD variable_name; to prompt the user for input and store it as a string.
• Comments (#): Use the hash symbol to add comments to your code, because even dinosaurs needed notes.
