I made it- The syntax is pretty simple
- You don't need to worry about formatting
TAPL is a stack based programming language, so data is stored in the background and you can run a command to use the data.
Windows: py tapl.py {filename}.tapl
or tapl {filename}.tapl
Unix-based OS: python3 tapl.py {filename}.tapl
"<data>"
- This command stores a string.
[<data>]
- This command stores an integer.
p
- This command prints the latest data.
j
- This command joins the 2 latest data pieces as a string. It starts from the second latest data piece to the latest.
r
- This command is the same as j
but in reverse.
i
- This command asks for input and stores the input in a data piece.
- This command adds the 2 latest numbers in the data set.
-
- This command subtracts the two latest numbers in the dataset. It starts from the second latest data piece to the latest.
*
- This command multiplies the two latest numbers in the dataset.
/
- This command divides the two latest numbers in the dataset. It starts from the second latest number to the latest.
{<code>}
- This command runs Python code, incase you ever need to.
>
- This command compares the two latest numbers. It goes from the second latest number to the latest. If true, it adds the value True
to the dataset, if false, it adds False
<
- The same as the above command, but its less than.
=
- This command checks if the two latest values are the same, if so, it adds True
to the dataset, if not, it adds False
.
t
: Lets say you had a program like this: "hi" "hi2" "hi3" "hi4"
, and you wanted to print hi. Right now, you can't, because its buried in the dataset. However, if you added [4] t
to the program, making it "hi" "hi2" "hi3" "hi4" [4] t
, now, "hi" is at the front of the data, and all you need to do is add p
to print it. Making the full command "hi" "hi2" "hi3" "hi4" [4] tp
:
: In order to use this command, you must have a number before it. If the second latest value in the dataset is equal to True
, then nothing happens, but if the second latest value is equal to False
, it skips the amount of characters equivalent to the first number in the dataset.

After 1 billion years, you've finally finished your program. But your friend doesn't have TAPL installed! (what a loser) This is OK though. As TAPL 0.3.0 and above come with a converter to Python. In order to convert, you would run py compile.py <yourcode>.tapl <target>.py
. The issue however, is that the :
and ;
commands break when you use this method. If your code has an if command, you must manually fix the code. Once you are done, you can use a tool such as Pyinstaller to convert to an EXE.
