Lape is a scripting engine with a Pascal derived syntax for Free Pascal and Delphi. It's written with speed and a broad platform compatibility in mind. The syntax is backwards compatible with Pascal Script (to a certain degree).
Lape is:
- A scripting engine
- A Pascal derived language
- Basetypes:
Integer,Float,Char,String,Boolean,Variant,Array,Record,Union,Enum,Set,Pointer,Function pointer - Operations:
:==<>>>=<<=@^+-*/**ANDORDIVXORNOTINSHLSHR - Constructs:
If,For,Case,Repeat,While,Try,Label - Internal and external (overloaded) functions (with support for default params)
- Internal/external variables and constants (every variable is represented exactly as how it would be by FPC/Delphi)
- Support for local (nested) declarations. So function can have their own constants/types/variables/functions.
- Basetypes:
- Portable
- Fully written in FPC/Delphi. No need for external libraries.
- Tested with Linux(x86/x64), Windows(x86/x64) and Mac OS, but supports virtually every platform FPC supports.
- Extensible
- New types can easily be added with specified behaviour for operations.
- Optional foreign function interface which allows native calling of Lape functions and importing of functions without creating wrappers.
- Fast
