Welcome to the BAC Language, which isn’t a programming language yet, or
might never be. The syntax and concept is not my invention, but stolen
from somebody who didn’t want to be remembered in history and is also
not alive any more. All the books about it are long out of print, so I
simply try to implement one limited description of a bunch of its
features, therefore BAC may show differences in comparison to the
original inspiration. The implementation is even more off, caused by
lazy repurposing of other code I happened to have. As I’m writing
parsers for some domain-specific languages (text-oriented formats)
anyway, it turned out to be a relatively small step to advance into
developing an interpreter potentially for an interactive programming
environment. Maybe a little bit like LISP or Smalltalk? Not crazy enough
to consider writing a compiler.
