Hello world : helloWorld ."Hello World!;
that's it. HelloWorld is now part of the language. Now if your language instance lets you compile it down, it will include all functions to create that function, and leave all others out, resulting in a executable. Mine came in at 263 bytes. Microsoft C came in at 47 K. to add 2+ 2: 2 2 + . As it uses Reverse Polish Notation and is stack oriented, doing math is rather intresting, different, and novel. It's a novel language. VERY good for controllers giving you maximum program in a small device such as your usuall PIC chip. Really SHINES in this venue.
