npm install node-lolI CAN HAS NODE.JS
``
npm install -g node-lol
` sh
$ cat > hello.lol
HAI
I HAS A DELAY ITZ 1000
HOW DUZ I SALUTE YR DUZ WAYT AN YR YOU
VISIBLE "WAIT A SEC..."
setTimeout WIZ WAYT AN DELAY ENUF
VISIBLE "MOAR WAIT..."
setTimeout WIZ WAYT AN DELAY ENUF
VISIBLE SMOOSH "HELLO " AN YOU
IF U SAY SO
SALUTE WIZ WAYT AN " DUDE" ENUF
KTHXBYE
^D
$ lol hello
`
You can also directly run it:
`sh`
$ lol examples/hello
See http://code.google.com/p/loljs/
The language has been slightly changed/extended to better deal with node and JavaScript.
FOO 'Z BAR -> FOO.BAR
FOO WIZ BAR AN ZOO ENUF -> FOO(BAR, ZOO)
FOO WIZ ENUF -> FOO()
You cannot call user functions as FOO ARG any more, you have to call them as FOO WIZ ARG ENUF.
FOO alone represents the function. You can manipulate it as a first class object.
CAN HAS FS 'fs'? -> var FS = require('fs');
EZ!
To wait on an async call and get a result, just pass WAYTor WAIT for the callback arguement:
`
I HAS A TXT ITZ FS 'Z readFile WIZ PATH AN "utf8" AN WAYT ENUF
VISIBLE TXT
If you don't want to wait, pass LATR or LATER instead and you will obtain a future on which you can wait to get the result later:
`
I HAS A READER ITS FS 'Z readFile WIZ PATH AN "utf8" AN LATR ENUF
BTW DO OTHER THINGS ....
I HAS A TXT ITS READER WIZ WAYT ENUF
VISIBLE TXT
To define asynchronous functions. Just give it a DUZ WAYT or DUZ WAIT parameter:
`
HOW DUZ I READTEXT YR DUZ WAYT AN YR PATH
FOUND FS 'Z readFile WIZ PATH AN "utf8" AN WAYT ENUF
IF U SAY SO
I (Bruno) didn't do much. All the hard work was pulled by Mark Watkinson.
