ChuckScript

· 2 min read

Chuck Norris can code using binary without 1, with Chuck Norris Programming Language (CNPL) you also can!. For those who think assembler is a high level language.

Here I present an esoteric programming language based on the Unary esoteric language developed with javaScript

Syntax​

The syntax is probably the easiest to learn: 0 is the only command you'll need. What does 0 do? Everything.

Chuck Norris code is so powerful that no current machine can process it, so a higher abstraction was made to make the code comprehensible for humans (and machines):
[0]{12} means "twelve zeroes" and it is translated 000000000000 in pure Chuck Norris Code.

All ChuckScripts allow comments, and only the first command with the syntax [0]{...} will be executed. The extension is .cnpl

Hello World!​

CNPL is fully functional, based on JavaScript. To start coding, just tweak this simple hello world:

[0]{9582516168086304533950061199088375933762201813077804024987245718616842}

hello_world.cnpl

Installation​

You can install chuckScript from the official npm repository typing:

npm install -g chuckscript

Or you can manually clone from github and install with npm install

You will need node and npm installed on your system

CNI​

CNI (Chuck Norris Interpreter) is the official CNPL interpreter and allows you to execute CNPL (extension .cnpl) in your machine:

cni myprogram.cnpl

CNGEN​

Of course, CNPL is the only language you'll ever need again, however, to start learning it cni also brings a cnpl code generator, which will convert your old, un-epic JavaScript code into a bright new CNPL code, to use it:

cngen myoldjs.js newsupercode.cnpl

Examples​

In the folder /examples you'll find some ready-to-use examples of cnpl code:

  • hello_world.cnpl: The proper way to start learning a new language, with a easy-to-learn hello world
  • loop.cnpl: Learn the easy loop syntax of ChuckScript with this example
  • sever.cnpl: ChuckScript is web-development ready, in this example you will learn how to make your own server

Module Usage​

To use chuckscript in your node.js code, simply require('chuckscript'):

  • execute(code): Executes given cnpl code (using javascript cni).
  • cnpl2js(code): Translates cnpl code to javascript, returns string with js.
  • compile(jsCode): Compiles javascript code into chuckscript.

CNPL is a improved version of Unary esoteric language
