Syntax

GolemScript uses a familiar syntax, hoping to be easy to read and write with.

Comments

Any line starting with a # is a commented line. Commented lines are ignored by the interpreter.

Blocks

Blocks in GolemScript are defined by a keyword, and closed with the keyword end.

For example, if statements in GolemScript look as such:

if condition
  ...
end

Variables

Variables are referenced simply by their name, which must contain only alphanumeric characters (0-9,A-z, and _).
A variable must not start with a number.

Examples of Valid Variables

foo_Bar13
helloWorld
_greetings

Examples of Invalid Variables

28Foo_
&bar

Functions

Functions can be called using the function name, followed by parentheses containing comma separated arguments. Function names follow the same constraints as variables.

For example, here is the print function:

print("Hello!")

Expressions

Expressions can contain literals and operators. Expressions may also be nested using parentheses.

Here is an example expression:

3 + (5 * 2)
