IP ADDRESS Programming Language

In this language, all keywords and expressions are represented using ASCII values. The syntax is inspired by languages like Go, but with ASCII code representations for all keywords and expressions.

Syntax

When writing code in IP Address Language, you will use ASCII values to represent keywords and expressions. For example, the keyword var is represented by the ASCII value 118 97 114. But you have to separate each value with a dot .. to represent the keyword var in IP Address Language, you will write 118.97.114.

Note: not all keyword or expression should be separated by a dot. (see example below or check the examples directory

Here some example keyword or exression that is should not be separated by a dot:

String

when creating a string, you should wrap the ascii values with double quotes 34. So, to create a string John Doe, you will write:

34 74.111.104.110 68.111.101 34 // "John Doe"

34 is the ASCII value for double quotes "

Function

( and ) after the function name should not be separated by a dot. So, to call a function like sayHello(), you will write:

115.97.121.72.101.108.108.111 40 41

// 115.97.121.72.101.108.108.111 = sayHello
// 40 = (
// 41 = )

Some example of syntax that you can use in IP Address Programming Language:

Variable Assignment

118.97.114 120 61 52.50 // var x = 42

Arithmetic Operations

118.97.114 120 61 52.50 43 52.50 // var x = 42 + 42

Print Output

101.99.104.111 36.120 // echo $x

Conditional Statements

105.102 120 60 53 123
    101.99.104.111 34 120 105.115 103.114.101.97.116.101.114 116.104.97.110 53 34
125 101.108.115.101 105.102 120 61.61 53 123
    101.99.104.111 34 120 105.115 101.113.117.97.108 116.111 53 34
125 101.108.115.101 123
    101.99.104.111 34 120 105.115 108.101.115.115 116.104.97.110 53 34
125

is equivalent to:

if x < 5 {
    echo "x is greater than 5"
} else if x == 5 {
    echo "x is equal to 5"
} else {
    echo "x is less than 5"
}

125

115.97.121.72.101.108.108.111 40 41

is equivalent to:

var name = "John Doe"
echo "Hello, $name!"

func sayHello() {
  var name = "Ulum"
  echo "Hello, $name!"

  func sayHello2() {
    var name = "Doe"
    var age = 20
    echo "Hello, $name!"

    func sayHello3() {
      var name = "John"
      echo "Hello, $name!"
      echo "Age: $age"
    }

    sayHello3()
  }

  sayHello2()
}

sayHello()

FYI, initially, this project was called gosh, but I decided to modify the syntax and name it IP Address Programming Language.

This is just a fun project.

And if you like this project, please give it a star. Thank you!
