Life Goes On Programming Language

A programming language inspired by Oliver Tree's song Life goes on

Also inspired by:

Programming paradigm

All popular programming paradigms are bad. Why? Just google search "why ... is bad". Examples:

That's why LGOL introduces a brand‑new, modern paradigm: SHOP. Now Google "why SHOP is bad". No results. Crickets. So SHOP must be great! But what even is SHOP? its simple! SHOP - Self-Harm Oriented Programming.

Language Design

The "modern" programming languages are notoriously complex. Thats why LGOL consists of only 12 simple commands:

Memory model

LGOL uses a traditional tape‑based memory model, like Brainfuck but with more existential dread. However, we've extended it with new instructions to cut down on boilerplate. Every element of the tape is a 42-bit integer simply because 42 is the answer to everything. The tape grows automatically as you move the life pointer... move what??

The Life Pointer

The life pointer in LGOL is a movable cursor that tracks the active position on a tape of memory cells. You can increment it using on instruction and decrement using work.

Instructions

As said earlier, LGOL has exactly 12 instructions: life, goes, on, and, onion, work, all, day, then, i, wake, up

here is the reference:

Instruction	Description
`on`	Life goes on and on and on... Moves the `life` pointer forward.
`work`	J*b sucks. Thats why `work` instruction moves the `life` pointer backwards.
`up`	Simply increments the current cell's value.
`onion`	Peel one onion layer! Heh. Decrements the current call's value.
`goes`	If the current cell is zero, jump forward to instruction after the matching `all`
`all`	If current cell is non-zero, jump back to instruction right after the matching `goes`
`life`	Output the current cell's value as a ascii character.
`wake`	Wake up and listen. Inpit a character to the current cell.
`i`	You are worth exactly 0. Sets the current cell to that value.
`day`	One day after another. Copies the current cell's value into the next cell.
`and`	Adds the current cell's to the next cell
`then`	Swaps the current cell with the next one

Example

It's a time‑honoured tradition to print "hello world". But honestly, the world's been greeted enough times already, so now we say goodbye instead.

The following program prints "Goodbye, world!":

Don't ask how it works. If you can't read this then its probably a skill issue.
