PoLite lang

Be more polite while you code with PoLite lang. PoLite lang is the polite superset of JavaScript.

Install

npm i -g polite-lang

Usage

Compile

politec main.po

Features

Just use your words

Want to declare a function?

please create function main with no arguments and the code
  /* Hello :) */
ok

Want to set a variable or a constant?

please set variable foo to 'foo'
please set constant bar to 'bar'

Want to call a function?

run function foo with no arguments.

Express yourself

As much as you want to uwu and owo in your JavaScript code, you just can't. PoLite lang changes that. (Note: Requires --uwu-safe flag and restricts variable naming)

uwu please create function main uwu with no arguments owo and the code
  /* Hello :) */
ok

Use complex data types

You can use objects.

please set variable object to a group of things (
  foo is 'bar', and
  bar is 'foo'
)
run function println with arguments foo from object.
/* prints 'bar' */

You can use arrays.

please set variable object to a list of things (
  'foo', and 'bar'
)

Loops, ifs, logic, and math

Run a loop.

create loop and check index is less than 10 and on every iteration do
  run function println with arguments index.
ok

Use an if.

if foo equals bar then do
  run function println with arguments "They are equal".
ok

Use standard JavaScript math and logic.

if math(foo == bar) then do
  run function println with arguments "They are equal".
ok

Use it like a normal language

Like all real languages, PoLite lang has some special and seemingly random rules to follow to make it feel more realistic. For example, you must use please when you're defining a variable or a function. PoLite lang also only uses characters you would find in a written text, such as , () . ".

...and LOTS more

Politefile

The Politefile is a way to configure the compilation of PoLite lang. You can add flags from the Politefile, as well as configure the compilation target.

To use one, follow this syntax:

[key]
value1, optionalValue2, optionalValue3, etc

[key2]
value1, optionalValue2, optionalValue3, etc
