Oyster

Oyster is a new, lightweight programming language designed to be easy to learn in almost no time at all. It is similar to Scratch, but is text-based and is not designed for a 'game engine.' The main highlight of Oyster is that it has NO KEYWORDS. This means that everything is either a comment, function, class method, or value.

File Extension

Oyster uses the .oys file extension. If you have a suggestion to change this or it is used somewhere else, open an issue.

Inspiration

Oyster is loosely based on JavaScript, and uses objects and arrays identically. However, it has a slightly different syntax.

Syntax

Oyster's syntax looks something like this as of last update.

functionName('args') class.methodName('args') if( user.confirm(), () => { doSomething() }, () => { doSomethingElse() } ) --| This is a comment. Takes up exactly one full line and must start with the three chars `--|` classManager.createClass({ name: 'myClass', properties: ['value'], constructor: (value) => { this.value = value }, staticMethods: {} instanceMethods: { getVal: () => { return this.value } } }) classManager.createInstance({ className: 'myClass', instanceName: 'instance', arguments: { value: 12 } }) 

For a more updated version, see the oyster_syntax.oys file in the '/examples' directory.
