SmartAss

The goal of SmartAss is to be easily understandable so you can teach it yourself. To achieve that goal SmartAss has a handful of concepts.

SmartAss is methodical as opposed to functional, every blocks of code is a method (with no name), most of the construction of the language are method calls.
Every syntax construction is an expression.
Variables are dynamically typed and locally scoped.
Classes are not mutable, environment is stable (but not side effect free).
All values are objects.

SmartAss is hosted on GitHub, so a git clone will do the job

git clone git@github.com:forax/smartass.git

just run the stupid ant script

ant

Note that it requires Java 8

Let suppose you have written your script in a file myscript.sms

java -jar smartass.jar myscript.sms

there is a reference guide in the doc folder.

I try to run the following script and it doesn't work
```
print(1 + 2)
```
That's normal, don't panic, by default, smartass comes with a very limited environment, if you want the default environment you have to load it using the method require()
```
require("samples/core.sms")

print(1 + 2)
```
How to launch the REPL ?

The REPL is a smartass script named samples/repl.sms, so it can be launch that way
```
java -jar smartass.jar samples/repl.sms
```
Where is formal grammar of SmartAss ?

The executable grammar is defined using a custom extended BNF format in the grammar folder.
