Syntax

• think x - loads number x into single-cell memory
• thought - evaluated as the number in single-cell memory
• print x - prints out value x
• x in y - assigns number y to stack index x
• out x - evaluated as the number in stack index x
• x char - evaluated as the character with ascii index x. characters cannot be stored as data (in single-cell memory or in the stack)
• run <name> - runs macro named <name>
• spawn <name> - runs macro named <name> on new thread with new runtime (stack + thought)
• if x { ... } - runs code within braces if x is equivalent to the single-cell memory
• loop { ... } - loops code within braces
• define <name> { ... } - runs code within braces when run <name> is called
• break - breaks current loop/if statement
• # <text here> - comment; ignored when tokenizing (until the end of the line)

Fibonacci Sequence

1 in 0   # 1st element
2 in 1   # 2nd element

loop {
    print out 0         # print out current value
    print 10 char       # newline

    0 in out 1 + out 2  # sum of the elements

    1 in out 2          # set 1st element to 2nd element
    2 in out 0          # set 2nd element to sum

    think thought + 1   # increment counter

    if 10 { break }     # break on 10th iteration
