Installation

pip install krash-lang

Quick Start

Hello World

show "Hello, World!"

Variables and Math

str name = "Alice"
int age = 28
showf "Name: {name}, Age: {age}"

Arrays

int[] scores = [85, 92, 78, 95, 88]
showf "Total: {scores.length()} items"
showf "First: {scores[0]}"

Functions

fxn>: add(int a, int b):
    givef "{a + b}"
<:

int result = add(10, 20)
showf "Result: {result}"

Control Flow

int score = 85

if>: score >= 90:
    show "Grade: A"
<: elif>: score >= 80:
    show "Grade: B"
<: else>:
    show "Grade: C"
<:

Dictionaries

mydict{} = {
    "name": "Alice",
    "age": 28
}

showf "Name: {mydict{"name"}}"
showf "Age: {mydict{"age"}}"

Error Handling

try>:
    int x = int("not a number")
<: catch>: ValueError:
    show "Invalid number!"
<:

File I/O

write>: "Hello, World!":
    .new("hello.txt")
<:

read>: ("hello.txt"):
    showf "Content: {read.getFirstLine()}"
<:

HTTP Requests

#HTTPClient

try>:
    str response = HTTPClient.get("https://api.example.com/data")
    showf "Response: {response}"
<: catch>: NetworkError:
    show "Request failed"
<:

Standard Libraries

Library	Description
#mathBasic	Basic arithmetic (add, subtract, multiply, divide)
#ArraysAndStrings	Array/string utilities (capitalize, reverse, join)
#HTTPClient	HTTP requests (get, post, put, delete, patch)
#FileUtils	File operations (exists, copy, rename, list)
#JSONParser	JSON parsing (parse, stringify, getString)
#DateUtils	Date/time (today, time, daysUntil, addDays)
#Random	Random generation (integer, float, boolean, item)

Running Programs

# Run a Krash file
krsh program.ksh

# Start interactive mode
krsh

# Show version
krsh --version

# Show help
krsh --help

Language Syntax

Comments

// Single line comment

/ Multi line comment
that spans multiple lines /

Block Syntax

Krash uses >: and <: for code blocks:

if>: condition:
    // code block
<:

Indentation

Krash requires 4-space indentation inside blocks:

for>: int i = 0, i < 5, i++:
    showf "{i}"      // 4 spaces
<:
