Hello world

let {print} = import "std.io"
let world = "world"
print(f"hello {world}!")

Async/await

let {print} = import "std.io"

let foo = fn()
    print("foo started")
    let bar_frame = async bar()
    print("in foo")
    let bar_res = await bar_frame
    print("foo finished")
    return bar_res

let bar = fn()
    print("bar started")
    suspend
    print("bar resumed")
    suspend
    print("bar finished")
    return 1


print("main started")
let foo_frame = async foo()
print("in main")
let res = await foo_frame
print("main finished:", res)
$ bog async.bog
main started
foo started
bar started
in foo
bar resumed
in main
bar finished
foo finished
main finished: 1

Calculator

let {input, print} = import "std.io"

try
    let val1 = input("first argument: ") as num
    let op = input("operation: ")
    let val2 = input("second argument: ") as num

    match op
        "*" => print(val1 * val2)
        " " => print(val1   val2)
        "-" => print(val1 - val2)
        "/" => print(val1 / val2)
        "**" => print(val1 ** val2)
        _ => print(f"unknown op: {op}")
catch
    print("that's not a number")

Use command line arguments

# run with `path/to/bog path/here.bog arg1 arg2 "foo"`
let {print} = import "std.io"
print(import "args")

Loops

let mut sum = 0
for let c in "hellö wörld"
    match c
        "h" => sum  = 1
        "e" => sum  = 2
        "l" => sum  = 3
        "ö" => sum  = 4
        "w" => sum  = 5
        "d" => sum  = 6

return sum # 31
let getSome = fn(val) if (val != 0) val - 1

let mut val = 10
while let newVal = getSome(val)
    val = newVal
return val # 0

Error handling

let {input, print} = import "std.io"

let fails_on_1 = fn(arg) if arg == 1 error(69)
let fails_on_2 = fn(arg) if arg == 2 error(42)
let fails_on_3 = fn(arg) if arg == 3 error(17)

let foo = fn(arg)
    try
        fails_on_1(arg)
        fails_on_2(arg)
        fails_on_3(arg)
    catch let err
        return err

    return 99

print(for let i in 0:4 foo(i)) # [99, 69, 42, 17]
print(try fails_on_1(input("give number: ") as int) catch "gave 1")

Destructuring assignment

let add = fn ((a,b)) a   b
let tuplify = fn (a,b) (a,b)
return add(tuplify(1,2)) # 3
