1. Grammar and Syntax

Data Types

• digits: Represents both integers and floating-point numbers. E.g., vibe digits x mood 5;
• vibes: Represents strings. E.g., vibe vibes name mood "VibeScript";
• feels: Represents boolean values (woke for true and big yikes for false). E.g., vibe feels flag mood woke;

Operators

• mood: Assignment operator. E.g., vibe digits score mood 100;
• glowUp: Increment operator. E.g., score glowUp;
• glowDown: Decrement operator. E.g., score glowDown;
• Arithmetic operators: +, -, *, / (no custom slang for these to keep performance and familiarity).

Control Structures

• bet: If statement.

  bet (condition) {
     // code
  }
  

• no cap: Else statement.

  bet (condition) {
     // code
  } no cap {
     // alternate code
  }
  

• bop: For loop.

  bop (vibe digits i mood 0; i < 10; i glowUp) {
     // code
  }
  

• sus: While loop.

  sus (condition) {
     // code
  }
  

• ok boomer: Break statement. Used to exit a loop.

Functions

• slay: Define a function.

  slay vibes greet() {
     flex("Hello, VibeScript!");
     snatched "Done";
  }
  

• fire: Call a function. E.g., fire greet();
• snatched: Return statement to exit a function with a value.

Exception Handling

• shook: Try block.

  shook {
     // code that may throw an exception
  } salty (error) {
     // handle exception
  }
  

Input/Output

• flex: Print to output. E.g., flex("Hello, World!");
• spill: Take input. E.g., vibe vibes name mood spill("What's your name?");

2. Syntax Rules

Variable Declaration

• Variables are declared using vibe followed by the type and an optional initial value.

  vibe digits age mood 21;
  vibe vibes name mood "VibeScript";
  vibe feels isReady mood woke;
  

Statements and Expressions

• Assignment: Uses mood operator. x mood 10;
• Increment/Decrement: glowUp and glowDown can be used as post-increment/decrement.

Control Flow Syntax

• If-Else: bet starts an if-statement, no cap provides the else clause.
• Loops:
  • For loop starts with bop and contains initialization, condition, and increment.
  • While loop starts with sus.

Function Syntax

• Definition: Functions are defined with slay, taking optional parameters, and end with snatched to return a value.
• Invocation: Functions are called using fire.

Exception Handling Syntax

• Try-Catch: Encapsulate code in shook with salty to catch and handle errors.

Example Code

Here's an example VibeScript code snippet to illustrate these rules:

tea VibeScript example program

clout "standard_library";

slay digits add(vibe digits x, vibe digits y) {
   snatched x + y;
}

vibe digits total mood 0;

bop (vibe digits i mood 0; i < 5; i glowUp) {
   bet (i % 2 mood 0) {
      flex("Even number");
   } no cap {
      flex("Odd number");
   }
}

vibe vibes name mood spill("What's your name?");
flex("Hello, " + name + "!");

shook {
   fire add(5, 10);
} salty (error) {
   flex("An error occurred: " + error);
}

dead;
