Dosato v0.5

Dosato Version 0.5

This major version of dosato is not compatible with code written in previous versions. The following changes have been made:

• The => operator in a for loop has been replaced with the as keyword.

New Features

• Closure support has been added to the language. Closures can be created by using the => keyword in combination with arguments, a type, and a body.

make add = int (a, b) => {
    return a + b
}

More information on closures can be found in the documentation.

• The as keyword has been added to the language. The as keyword is used in for loops to iterate over a range of numbers.

make i = 0
do sayln(i) for range(0, 10) as i

• Console mode has been added to the language. This mode allows for the user to input data into the program.

dosato -c

This will open the dosato interpreter in console mode. You can type dosato code directly into the console and run it by pressing enter.

Press \ and then enter to put a new line in the console.

• Negative array indices are now supported. You can now access elements in an array using negative indices.

make arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
do sayln(arr#-1) // prints 5

Fixed Bugs

• Unary operators has too high precedence. This has been fixed.
• The Carrage return character is now considered a whitespace character.
