Welcome to IWETHEY!

New good suggestions, but.....
>> if (cmp(a,">",10) becomes if (>(a, 10)
<<

I think I am too used to thinking infix. Besides I might later "evolve" it to a more conventional approach, and don't want to shuffle the ordering as much.

I am not trying to fully optimize the syntax here (just yet), only make the langage simple to compile/parse. Those issues don't really affect the key elements of what I am trying to demo.

>> Also, I assume from your example you are treating linefeeds as commas in a parameter list <<

No, parameters would be based on spaces. If there are embedded spaces, then quotes are required. It would roughly follow LISP conventions.

>> And how would you do a if/else? Require a 'block' function in your if function? if(>(a, 10), block( ... code here ... ), block( ... code here ... )), <<

I am working on that issue. I have a different approach in mind, but have to check it more carefully. It sort of merges IF's and CASE statements.


>> PS: Turn // comment into rem("comment") <<

Too much typing. I will just let a preprocessor remove/ignore anything after //.

In Haskell, any function can be prefixed or infixed. This is a nice feature when you start doing folds and generators. The syntax goes along the lines of:

mod 14 3

is the same as:

14 `mod` 3

The backquotes are used for the purpose of infixing a function.
