An Introduction To The LlamaTalk Language

LlamaTalk is a unique multi-dimensional triadic spin-based programming language for connecting complex learning behaviors with environmental observations and interactions. LlamaTalk is comprised of atomic LlamalOps describing the positive spin, negative spin, and pivot point of each LlamalOperator. It may help to think of every LlamalOp as having a separate thread of execution while inter-dependently evaluating the positive and negative spins of their target objects.

Parenthesis are used in the traditional sense to manage order of operations but generally contain triadic versicles that result in a LlamalOp when executed. LlamaTalk is an LL(*) grammar therefore its implementation is fundamentally ambiguous and deliberately irrational, meaning LlamalOps either learn and evolve, or cease to function. For example:

⁖LlamalOp(thinking)
{⁖⋉
	Ҩҩ	⁖ ((e•ë)Ņ•ėach), /* "Haha" */
	ϑ	⁖ (hcaė•Ņ(ë•e)), /* "Hmph" */
	f(thinking)
⋊}

⁖LlamalOp(critical_thinking)
{⁖⋉
	Ҩҩ	⁖ ((e•ë)Ṃ•ëach), /* "Haha" */
	ϑ	⁖ (hcaë•Ṃ(ë•e)), /* "Hmph" */
	f(critical_thinking)
⋊}

thinking(.); >>> whut.whut

critical_thinking(.); >>> ha•ha

Diacriticals and spindot notation define the evaluation risk and enlightenment level of the result. Spindots are pivot points that require both an lvalue and an rvalue, each evaluated in both spin directions to produce a LlamalOp result which is itself a pivot point for other LlamalOps.

(e•e); >>> .
(e•ė); >>> .
(e•ë); >>> . or •
(ė•e); >>> .
(ė•ė); >>> •
(ė•ë); >>> •
(ë•e); >>> . or •
(ë•ė); >>> •
(ë•ë); >>> ᴧ or •

Basic Operators

.	simple jump into a pool acts before thinking this Daisy Duke operator is sexy but sometimes a little dirty
•	transverse jump into a pool thinks before acting an Educated Sexy operator looks things over first
ᴧ	safe transverse jump into a pool knows how to safely jump a Lifeguard keeps things moving along
Ņ	basic wobbly spinner risky re-spins may fall down ėach yer pëa.z() then try !(Ņ•pŭkë(.))
Ṃ	basic stable spinner safely re-spins experienced ėach yer Ņ•pëa.z() never throws up
⁖	learning triad (?•?) llamalop pivot; evaluated rvalue is returned here labeled or unlabeled versicles; anonymous closures
«___»	simple name basic clazz static metadata
««___»»	transverse name complex class dynamic metadata
«««___»»»	recorded name learning class potentially self-modifying dynamic metadata
⋉____,____,____⋊	spin triad positive, negative, pivot describes the postive and negative spin logic to apply to the supplied pivot object (contains three or more elements)
e,ė,ë,é,ê,ĕ,ẽ,ē,ę	enlightenment untrained (pas de point), enlightened (un point), educated (deux points), enlightened educated (l'accent aigu), etc. diacritics describe the education level of the object or operator (0, 1, 2…N)
℣	versicle llamatalk clazz attributes and metadata of the container
∊∏∍	clazz object set a collection of llamatalk clazz references references a learning collection [of references]
