RanSlat Format

This is an intermediate format between a language and bytecode

Basic Syntax

Each line of RanSlat is a sentence in spoken language.

!(place.world) greeting.formal

Is how you’d say “Hello, world!”. The first character on the line is the type of sentence:

• ! - Statement
• ? - Question
• . - Phrase
• _ - Unwritten ( Technically not a sentence )

In this situation there’s more to our sentence. There’s a vocative address. We’re addressing the world to say hello, so a sentence that addresses something looks like this:

.(`NOUN`)

Next, the actual meaning of the sentence.

greeting.formal

That means it’s a type of greeting and the type is formal. In English, this is Hello.
