Shuwar

Just a writing system, but with lisp-like syntax.

Inspired by eido and youki

An "interactive shell":

$ shuwar

Now try typing some expressions

[print 1]

[set ppp [lambda [x]
    [print x]
    [print x]
]]

[ppp 1]

We have syntax support for writing: you can call functions like this

puts | Each line
puts | is an arg to the tag

puts | Another

Remember to put a blank line after the last line

This should be the same as the following, but shuwar has no support for string literals, so it will not work

[dont type this block]
[puts "Each line" "is an arg to the tag"]
[puts "Another"]

If you load the nokogiri library, you can have some html

[load #nokogiri]

[set main_content
    [div #[
        class | content
        id    | main-content
    ]

h1      | Sample
]

[put_html
    [html [body
        main_content
    ]]
]

It's from sample.swr, you should look at it.

Note the attributes: it's the same as the following

#[ [class
   | content
   ]

   [id
   | main-content
   ]]

However just as sample.swr says:

It's looks like a hack, but it feels great!

We recommend this rather than the spell-out-by-hand method

We have # for quote

[print #[print 1]]
