What hblang is

Holey-Bytes-Language (hblang for short) (*.hb) is the only true language targeting hbvm byte code. hblang is low level, manually managed, and procedural. Its rumored to be better then writing hbasm and you should probably use it for complex applications.

What hblang isnt't

hblang knows what it isn't, because it knows what it is, hblang computes this by sub...

Examples

Examples are also used in tests. To add an example that runs during testing add:

#### <name>
```hb
<example>
```

and also:

<name>;

to the run_tests macro at the bottom of the src/son.rs.

Following examples incrementally introduce language features and syntax.

• @use(<string>): imports a module based on relative path, cycles are allowed when importing
• @TypeOf(<expr>): results into literal type of whatever the type of <expr> is, <expr> is not included in final binary
• @as(<ty>, <expr>): hint to the compiler that @TypeOf(<expr>) == <ty>
• @intcast(<expr>): needs to be used when conversion of @TypeOf(<expr>) would loose precision (widening of integers is implicit)
• @sizeof(<ty>), @alignof(<ty>): get size and align of a type in bytes
• @bitcast(<expr>): tell compiler to assume @TypeOf(<expr>) is whatever is inferred, so long as size matches
• @eca(...<expr>): invoke eca instruction, where return type is inferred and <expr>... are arguments passed to the call in the standard call convention
• @embed(<string>): include relative file as an array of bytes
• @inline(<func>, ...<args>): equivalent to <func>(...<args>) but function is guaranteed to inline, compiler will otherwise never inline
