stack docs

this is a stack language. values are separated by spaces. integers are precise, floats are not. strings are enclosed by "" and use \ as an escape character (the next character after \ will be interpreted literally; \n etc. won't work).

a bunch of values and ops enclosed in brackets creates a substack. ops in substacks won't be immediately run. all the values in a substack can be pushed to the stack with `, and a value can be placed in a substack with '.

operations

arithmetic (6)

• +: add
• -: subtract
• *: multiply
• /: divide
• %: mod
• ^: exp

might add trig at some point.

booleans (3)

true, when unquoted, deletes the second-top value; false, when unquoted, deletes the top value.

• T: true
• F: false
• _: empty (returns true on 0, empty string, empty stack)

comparisons (6)

these use the same boolean thingys.

• =: equality (for numbers and strings)
• <: less than
• >: greater than
• <>: inequality (for numbers and strings)
• <=: less than or equal to
• >=: greater than or equal to

stack ops (6)

these are for handling the stack and substacks.

• #: concatenate two substacks
• ~: swap the top two items
• ?: drop the top item
• !: duplicate the top item (may be bugged due to javascript)
• ': put the top item in a substack
• `: unquote the top substack, pushing all its values to the stack and calling all its operations
