I believe we should allow both punctuation marks in keywords, and phonetic affinity (e.g. IT'S NOT A TOOMAH! over IT'S NOT A TUMOR! over IT'S NOT A TUMOR) as they correspond beautifully with ADD, which has been adopted as a fundamental guideline.

My vote goes for both.

People, cast your votes.

Solve with ArnoldC.

Awesome job guys, this stuff is hilarious!

I noticed a few keywords missing though. Here are my humble suggestions:

break: "If it bleeds we can kill it"
modulo (%): "I let him go"
null: "You're one ugly muthafucka"
static: "Stick around" (if you implement object oriented code)

It would be perhaps useful to have an ability to sleep for a period of seconds. Something like:

(DON'T DISTURB MY FRIEND) HE'S DEAD TIRED

For instance:

hash stands for comment

begin

IT'S SHOWTIME

print greeting

TALK TO THE HAND "hello world"

end main

YOU HAVE BEEN TERMINATED

or something more "arnold specific"

I hope it isn't out of line for me to post this.

I suggest we deprecate GET UP and go with GIVE YOU A LIFT

Personally I don't think we're at a stage where breaking changes are automatically veto'd. Push comes to shove, we can maintain backward compatibility by keeping both.

Users who believe this change will cause their production systems an unacceptable time, please speak now.

It would be good to have an ability to compile and execute ArnoldC source directly with one command. It can be look like the following:

java -jar ArnoldC.jar -run hello.arnoldc

and compile source with the following command:

java -jar ArnoldC.jar -compile hello.arnoldc

instead of

java -jar ArnoldC.jar hello.arnoldc
java hello

Could ArnoldC be expressed as C macros, or is the Scala doing something more sophisticated?

Current situation:
If the generated Java bytecode by the ArnoldGenerator is erroneous e.g. stack map frame errors occur the test run gets deadlocked.
Desired functionality:
The test detects that the program is stuck and reports something reasonably. Most importantly goes on with the next tests.

I propose "I need a vacation" for the break operator

As new features/bugfixes are introduced a way to find the version number of the compiler must found.

e.g.

java -jar ArnoldC.jar -version
0.1

It will be nice to see the String type and also some corresponding operations, such as concatenation of strings with each other.

I think there are currently two "schools"

Arnold Driven Development (ADD)

• Focuses on adding the "missing" one liners people are craving for (especially from Kindergarten Cop)
• Doesn't really matter if the commands are usefully

Feature Driven Development (FDD)

• Develop useful features so that you could actually do something with the language e.g. solve Euler#1, read input etc.

Discuss!

Consider the following contrived example:

IT'S SHOWTIME
HEY CHRISTMAS TREE var
YOU SET US UP @I LIED
GET TO THE CHOPPER var
HERE IS MY INVITATION 1
HE HAD TO SPLIT 0
ENOUGH TALK
TALK TO THE HAND var
YOU HAVE BEEN TERMINATED

I get:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
    at hello.main(Hello.java)

I would expect something like:

HERE'S YOUR SUBZERO, NOW PLAIN ZERO

To calculate odd and even numbers:
a = b % 2

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation

To be able to do all logical functions a not function is needed.

I might suggest:
NOT TO BE

As of yet, ArnoldC has no method for generating random numbers.

Tavi Rider on reddit suggested I WAS ELECTED TO LEAD NOT TO READ

ALLOW ME TO BREAK THE ICE

Allow combining of variables and strings when printed

I tried to write a recursive factorial function, the compiler did not complain, but when i tried to run it, jvm threw an exception when loading the class file

My suggestion is YOU'RE LUGGAGE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC1vAvbGSNw

There are certain cases where a try/catch statement would allow more sophisticated behaviors. Arnold would be quite pleased with more powerful programs, so we should consider this proposal seriously. My thoughts:

try: I LET HIM GO
catch: IT'S NOT A TUMOR

How about a method like "PUT THAT var DOWN" to dispose/delete an object?

Clearly this should be first priority.

Hi guys, I guess this is not a real issue and therefore this might not be the best way to reach you, but it's the easiest one I found.

I stumbled upon your programming language and found it very fun and hilarious, I strongly encourage you to check out this website which is a hub for "esoteric" programming languages, like yours:

http://99-bottles-of-beer.net/

Basically you just have to write a program that sings the famous song and place it there, so everyone can know about your language and see it in action :-)

Cheers!

GET TO THE CHOPPER should be GET TO THE CHOPPA

Thanks

In current implementation the mutable symboltable is passed in code-generation phase from the AST nodes and updated accordingly.
--> CHANGE TO
Symboltable to immutable. Each AST node resolves it's variables/symbols which can then be passed upwards.

I love ArnoldC and have been experimenting with it for a bit, but I have come across several scenarios where I have tried to run my program and got lengthy errors regarding inconsistent stackmap frames.

Code causing this error: https://gist.github.com/brandonio21/be36c230748e6d530027#file-lfib25

Seeing that all other commands are punctuated, it makes sense to put commas in appropriate places in this command.

Current functionality:
An ArnoldC program is given as an input to the compiler. Java Bytecode is generated. The generated Java Bytecode has to be run with a second command.

Desired functionality:
The default functionality compiles and runs the program. Additional flags can be given if only the Bytecode is desired.

Reproducable with:

IT'S SHOWTIME
HEY CHRISTMAS TREE var
YOU SET US UP @I LIED
GET TO THE CHOPPER var
HERE IS MY INVITATION @NO PROBLEMO
KNOCK KNOCK 1
KNOCK KNOCK 0
ENOUGH TALK
TALK TO THE HAND var
YOU HAVE BEEN TERMINATED

http://sublimetext.info/docs/en/extensibility/syntaxdefs.html

Please implement.

Attempting an assignment using logical operations (including CONSIDER THAT A DIVORCE, KNOCK KNOCK, and YOU ARE NOT YOU YOU ARE ME) breaks use of variables defined before the assignment. Compiles fine, byte code is broken.

Minimal reproducing code:

IT'S SHOWTIME

HEY CHRISTMAS TREE one
YOU SET US UP 0

HEY CHRISTMAS TREE two
YOU SET US UP @I LIED

GET TO THE CHOPPER two
HERE IS MY INVITATION @I LIED
YOU ARE NOT YOU YOU ARE ME @I LIED
ENOUGH TALK

TALK TO THE HAND one

YOU HAVE BEEN TERMINATED

This is the best thing I have ever seen.

I wanted to send you an email saying so, but it looks like you don't post it on your profile (understandable). As you can probably tell from my profile, I work at Uber and think we need more people like you who write code like this.

Even if you're not looking to get recruited, you should come by the office and get a beer sometime. The world owes it to you for this.

Hi again,

every language needs an implementation of 99 bottles of beer so I created one here.

https://gist.github.com/misel228/9705395

Since this is my first project in this new language I figured I let the seniors have a look at it before I post it on www.99-bottles-of-beer.net/

So what do you think?

Regards,
Misel

I don't see any mechanism to read input (from file, console, anything), would be cool to have

It would be nice to have an ability to pass a few arguments to Print to concatenate them like the following:
TALK TO THE HAND "F( " n ")=" m

Solve Project Euler problems using ArnoldC.
https://projecteuler.net/problems
https://github.com/lhartikk/ArnoldC/wiki/Project-Euler-Solutions

Current situation:
The compiler outputs the default Parboiled error messages about expected input when something unexpected input is countered.
Desired situation:
-Giving more semantic meaning to the error messages
-Did you mean messages to help the user:
e.g. the user types ITS SHOWTIME ->did you mean IT'S SHOWTIME

Hello,

I'm new to the whole scala/JVM stuff but I managed to create a JAR file following the instructions from here: http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Getting-Started/Welcome.html . However I'm still having trouble getting the compiler to run (on Ubuntu 13.10).

I installed scala

# apt-get install scala

installed sbt from the deb source above
and in the project folder I ran

# sbt
> compile
> package

now I have a JAR file but when I try to run I get an exception:

misel@miles:~/code/ArnoldC$ java -jar target/scala-2.10/arnoldc_2.10-0.1.jar hello.arnoldc
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: scala/io/Source$
        at org.arnoldc.ArnoldC$.main(ArnoldC.scala:12)
        at org.arnoldc.ArnoldC.main(ArnoldC.scala)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: scala.io.Source$

Do you have any ideas what's the problem might be?

And maybe a guide like this might be helpful in the README.md :)

Regards,
Stefan

It would be nice to have FOR in ArnoldC.
My suggestion is
