There are no "special" language constructs (*even `if` is nothing but a simple statement*). Everything you see is a statement in the form <code>ID <expression> <expression> <expression> ...</code>. An assignment is nothing but a labeled statement. <code>LABEL: <statement></code> |

Arturo can be used both as a data-interchange format and a programming language. Basically all data structures are valid code and all code can be represented as a data structure. Think of it as [[SDL]]/[[Json]]/[[YAML]]/[[XML]] combined with the power of [[Lisp]] - but without the... sea of opening and closing parentheses. |

Whether what you would consider a "function" or any other statement, it will return a value. If it's a block of code (see: ''function''), the last statement's result will be return - unless specified otherwise. |

====Functions are first-class citizens==== |
|||
The main goals are: performance, energy-efficiency and portability. (With that exact order) |
|||
Functions - or blocks of statements enclosed in <code>{}</code> - can be anything. Assign them to a symbol/variable, pass them around as arguments to function calls, include them as a dictionary key value, or return them from a function. And of course they can be either named or anonymous/lambda. |
|||
<br> |
|||
====Uniform syntax==== |
|||
There are 3 types of statements. |
|||
* Simple statements, that work as a function call in the form of <code>ID <expressions></code> |
|||
* Expressions (Yes, <code>1+2</code> is also a valid statement) |
|||
* Labeled statements (see: assignments) like <code>a: 2</code> |
|||
Pro tip: Do you want to use the result of a statement as part of an expression? Just enclose the function call in square brackets <code>[...]</code> E.g.: <code>print [reverse #(1 2 3)]</code> |

The main Arturo interpreter is written in the [[Nim]] language. |

Arturo Arturo is a modern programming language, vaguely inspired by various other ones - including but not limited to Rebol, Forth, Ruby, Haskell, D, SmallTalk, Tcl and Lisp.
Principles
The language has been designed following some very simple and straightforward principles:
- Code is just a list of words and symbols
- Words and symbols within a block are interpreted - when needed - according to the context
- No reserved words or keywords - look for them as hard as you can; there are absolutely none
print "Hello world!"
loop 1..10 'x [
if? even? x -> print [x "is even"]
else -> print [x "is odd"]
]
Implementation
The main compiler is implemented in Nim/C as a Bytecode interpreter / Stack-based VM and should run in most architectures.
The main goals are: performance, energy-efficiency and portability. (With that exact order)
