Crit (the programming language)

What is Crit?

Crit is an interpreted dynamic programming language made with C# and ANTLR4.
This language is still very experimental and is no were to be used for production.
Why the name? Because in League of Legends, no crit = no bitches.

The language is turing complete (I think) so theoretically you can solve any computational problem with Crit!

The syntax is somewhat similar to Golang's syntax.
Check the Change log here.

Code Preview

num = 5;
#Comment
if num > 2 {
    Write(num + " is bigger than 2.");
} #else if work as expected
else {
    WriteLine(num + " is smaller than 2.");
}

while num < 10 { 
    WriteLine(num);
    num = num + 1;
}
else {
    WriteLine("num was already bigger than 10.");
}

You can look here for more an implemantion of the Sieve of Eratosthenes in crit!

Tips and Tricks

You can have a else block after a while loop declaration to avoid a if statement.
To have syntax highlighting you can set the language to Golang or Rust, I've tested both and they look fine to me.
This language also has a until keyword, which is just like the while keyword but with the opposite condition.

until num > 10 {
    WriteLine(num);
    num = num + 1;
}

TODOs

• Documentation.
• Automatically detect the length of a number and assign to it the corret type (int, long, float and double)
• Add Python like dictionaries.
• Integrate NANQL with Crit's dictionaries and arrays.
• Add the hability of making functions.
• Seperate code into different files.
• Add Crit's own types & remove most object types.
• Add the hability of importing other files.
• Add interactive mode (with a REPL).
• Make a proper std lib.
• Add for loops.
• Add a proper break keyword.
• Add readable error messages.
• Optimizing the interpreter.
• Make a compiler.

Known Bugs

Right now you can't use arrays inside arrays nor inside dictionaries and vice versa. This will be fixed in the next update.
