-
-Whip is a LISP-dialect made for scripting and simplified concepts.
-It has also borrowed a lot of functions and syntax from Haskell (a non-related language).
-
-These docs were written by the creator of the language himself. So is this line.
-
-```scheme
-; Comments are like LISP. Semi-colons...
-
-; Majority of first-level statements are inside "forms"
-; which are just things inside parens separated by whitespace
-not_in_form
-(in_form)
-
-;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
-; 1. Numbers, Strings, and Operators
-
-; Whip has one number type (which is a 64-bit IEEE 754 double, from JavaScript).
-3 ; => 3
-1.5 ; => 1.5
-
-; Functions are called if they are the first element in a form
-(called_function args)
-
-; Majority of operations are done with functions
-; All the basic arithmetic is pretty straight forward
-(+ 1 1) ; => 2
-(- 2 1) ; => 1
-(* 1 2) ; => 2
-(/ 2 1) ; => 2
-; even modulo
-(% 9 4) ; => 1
-; JavaScript-style uneven division.
-(/ 5 2) ; => 2.5
-
-; Nesting forms works as you expect.
-(* 2 (+ 1 3)) ; => 8
-
-; There's a boolean type.
-true
-false
-
-; Strings are created with ".
-"Hello, world"
-
-; Single chars are created with '.
-'a'
-
-; Negation uses the 'not' function.
-(not true) ; => false
-(not false) ; => true
-
-; But the majority of non-haskell functions have shortcuts
-; not's shortcut is a '!'.
-(! (! true)) ; => true
-
-; Equality is `equal` or `=`.
-(= 1 1) ; => true
-(equal 2 1) ; => false
-
-; For example, inequality would be combining the not and equal functions.
-(! (= 2 1)) ; => true
-
-; More comparisons
-(< 1 10) ; => true
-(> 1 10) ; => false
-; and their word counterpart.
-(lesser 1 10) ; => true
-(greater 1 10) ; => false
-
-; Strings can be concatenated with +.
-(+ "Hello " "world!") ; => "Hello world!"
-
-; You can use JavaScript's comparative abilities.
-(< 'a' 'b') ; => true
-; ...and type coercion
-(= '5' 5)
-
-; The `at` or @ function will access characters in strings, starting at 0.
-(at 0 'a') ; => 'a'
-(@ 3 "foobar") ; => 'b'
-
-; There is also the `null` and `undefined` variables.
-null ; used to indicate a deliberate non-value
-undefined ; user to indicate a value that hasn't been set
-
-;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
-; 2. Variables, Lists, and Dicts
-
-; Variables are declared with the `def` or `let` functions.
-; Variables that haven't been set will be `undefined`.
-(def some_var 5)
-; `def` will keep the variable in the global context.
-; `let` will only have the variable inside its context, and has a weirder syntax.
-(let ((a_var 5)) (+ a_var 5)) ; => 10
-(+ a_var 5) ; = undefined + 5 => undefined
-
-; Lists are arrays of values of any type.
-; They basically are just forms without functions at the beginning.
-(1 2 3) ; => [1, 2, 3] (JavaScript syntax)
-
-; Dictionaries are Whip's equivalent to JavaScript 'objects' or Python 'dicts'
-; or Ruby 'hashes': an unordered collection of key-value pairs.
-{"key1" "value1" "key2" 2 3 3}
-
-; Keys are just values, either identifier, number, or string.
-(def my_dict {my_key "my_value" "my other key" 4})
-; But in Whip, dictionaries get parsed like: value, whitespace, value;
-; with more whitespace between each. So that means
-{"key" "value"
-"another key"
-1234
-}
-; is evaluated to the same as
-{"key" "value" "another key" 1234}
-
-; Dictionary definitions can be accessed used the `at` function
-; (like strings and lists.)
-(@ "my other key" my_dict) ; => 4
-
-;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
-; 3. Logic and Control sequences
-
-; The `if` function is pretty simple, though different than most imperative langs.
-(if true "returned if first arg is true" "returned if first arg is false")
-; => "returned if first arg is true"
-
-; And for the sake of ternary operator legacy
-; `?` is if's unused shortcut.
-(? false true false) ; => false
-
-; `both` is a logical 'and' statement, and `either` is a logical 'or'.
-(both true true) ; => true
-(both true false) ; => false
-(either true false) ; => true
-(either false false) ; => false
-; And their shortcuts are
-; & => both
-; ^ => either
-(& true true) ; => true
-(^ false true) ; => true
-
-;;;;;;;;;
-; Lambdas
-
-; Lambdas in Whip are declared with the `lambda` or `->` function.
-; And functions are really just lambdas with names.
-(def my_function (-> (x y) (+ (+ x y) 10)))
-; | | | |
-; | | | returned value(with scope containing argument vars)
-; | | arguments
-; | lambda declaration function
-; |
-; name of the to-be-declared lambda
-
-(my_function 10 10) ; = (+ (+ 10 10) 10) => 30
-
-; Obviously, all lambdas by definition are anonymous and
-; technically always used anonymously. Redundancy.
-((lambda (x) x) 10) ; => 10
-
-;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
-; Comprehensions
-
-; `range` or `..` generates a list of numbers for
-; each number between its two args.
-(range 1 5) ; => (1 2 3 4 5)
-(.. 0 2) ; => (0 1 2)
-
-; `map` applies its first arg (which should be a lambda/function)
-; to each item in the following arg (which should be a list)
-(map (-> (x) (+ x 1)) (1 2 3)) ; => (2 3 4)
-
-; Reduce
-(reduce + (.. 1 5))
-; equivalent to
-((+ (+ (+ 1 2) 3) 4) 5)
-
-; Note: map and reduce don't have shortcuts
-
-; `slice` or `\` is just like JavaScript's .slice()
-; But do note, it takes the list as the first argument, not the last.
-(slice (.. 1 5) 2) ; => (3 4 5)
-(\ (.. 0 100) -5) ; => (96 97 98 99 100)
-
-; `append` or `<<` is self explanatory
-(append 4 (1 2 3)) ; => (1 2 3 4)
-(<< "bar" ("foo")) ; => ("foo" "bar")
-
-; Length is self explanatory.
-(length (1 2 3)) ; => 3
-(_ "foobar") ; => 6
-
-;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
-; Haskell fluff
-
-; First item in list
-(head (1 2 3)) ; => 1
-; List from second to last elements in list
-(tail (1 2 3)) ; => (2 3)
-; Last item in list
-(last (1 2 3)) ; => 3
-; Reverse of `tail`
-(init (1 2 3)) ; => (1 2)
-; List from first to specified elements in list
-(take 1 (1 2 3 4)) ; (1 2)
-; Reverse of `take`
-(drop 1 (1 2 3 4)) ; (3 4)
-; Lowest value in list
-(min (1 2 3 4)) ; 1
-; Highest value in list
-(max (1 2 3 4)) ; 4
-; If value is in list or object
-(elem 1 (1 2 3)) ; true
-(elem "foo" {"foo" "bar"}) ; true
-(elem "bar" {"foo" "bar"}) ; false
-; Reverse list order
-(reverse (1 2 3 4)) ; => (4 3 2 1)
-; If value is even or odd
-(even 1) ; => false
-(odd 1) ; => true
-; Split string into list of strings by whitespace
-(words "foobar nachos cheese") ; => ("foobar" "nachos" "cheese")
-; Join list of strings together.
-(unwords ("foo" "bar")) ; => "foobar"
-; Successor and Predecessor
-(pred 21) ; => 20
-(succ 20) ; => 21
