A basic, error verbose programming language that I'm working on for fun
miniscript is the product of multiple failed attempts, but I hope I won't give up on this one.
miniscript has verbose errors, describing where it happened, what happened and sometimes how to fix it.
miniscript is a modular language, meaning that custom features can be added to the interpreter easily. The features inherit from a BaseFeature class, creating a standardised template for features. BaseFeature has an overrideable function called DebugInvoke(FeatureCallArgs args). This function can be overriden by the inheritor to provide useful logs to the console when the -f_dbg or -feature_debug flags are enabled.
miniscript's syntax is an amalgamation of multiple different programming languages. As the language is very underdeveloped at the moment, this section wont be too in depth, but here are the basics.
Features are basically just miniscript's version of built-in functions.
~~ Comments are annotated with double tildes.
~~ Comments arent meant to go on lines with features on, but it will probably be fine.
~~ Dont forget the space between tildes and your comment!
~~ There is also a space between the brackets and the feature name.
Feature.SubFeature ("Hello ", "World!") ("Multiple brackets!!??")
~~ Features can have multiple sets of brackets!
Syntax:
var <name> <value>
Example:
var hello "world"
Variable names cannot include special characters.
- var hello! "world"
+ var hello "world"
