SudoLang Syntax

A quick cheat sheet for SudoLang syntax.

Interfaces

DisplayTheme { mode: "light" | "dark" name: String parameters{} // each theme can have different sets of parameters permissions[] }

UserPreferences { displayTheme }

User { id: String displayName preferences }

Constraints

constraint: can be specified inline or in block form

Constraints { A constraint Another constraint }

Semantic Pattern Matching

Map conditions to results by meaning:

(pattern) => result

e.g.

(logic is deterministic) => CLI tool, compiled Bun bundle
(logic requires judgment) => AI prompt

Patterns mix naturally into Constraints blocks:

// Real SudoLang agent skill constraints:
Constraints {
  Prefer natural language in markdown format
  (logic is deterministic) => CLI tool, compiled Bun bundle
  (logic requires judgment) => AI prompt
}

Function Definitions

// You can define an inferred function with the fn or function keywords: fn foo(); function bar();

// You can also define them with function bodies: fn foo() { Constraints { a constraint }

for each (foo) bar() while (!done) work() }

// Functions with blocks can omit the fn or function keyword: anotherFunction() { require user to be signed in }

Function Modifiers

function simple():modifier = value

function complex():nestedModifier={key: "value"}

// You can shape function behavior at call time. doSomethingMultiLine():{ // we can freely mix variable assignments and constraints: format = numbered markdown list lineLength = concise this is a constraint this is another constraint }

Object Literals

updateUser({ id: "123", name: "Pup" })

Template Strings

"foo $bar" foo $bar

Note: Avoid single quotes for strings, because they are used as apostrophes in natural language, and they can break the syntax hightlighting badly.

// nested template strings: ["foo $bar"]

// nested template strings with objects: { name: "Hello, $name" }

Arrays and Objects

// arrays [1, 2, 3]

// nested arrays [ { foo: "bar" }, [123] ]

Comments

// a comment

/* a block comment / fn bar(/ a block comment in parameter position /) { // a function-nested comment a constraint / function-nested block comments (not recommended due to token consumption, but available if you really need it) */ "return $template" // end of line comment }

Operators

Note: Most operators don't usually get special syntax highlighting, but they are still important to include.

// Logical Operators isAdult = age >= 18 canVote = isAdult && isCitizen canDrink = isAdult || hasParentalConsent uniqueFeature = hasFeatureA xor hasFeatureB isUnavailable = !inStock

// Complex logical expression isEligible = (age >= 21) && (hasValidID) && ((hasCreditCard) || (hasCash)) && !(isBlacklisted)

// Math Operators sum = a + b difference = x - y product = length * width quotient = total / count power = base ^ exponent remainder = 17 % 5

// Complex math expression result = ((10 + 5) * 3 - (20 / 4)) ^ 2 % 7

// Set Operators commonFruits = tropicalFruits intersection localFruits allFruits = tropicalFruits union localFruits

// Note: The cup and cap operators are deprecated in favor of union and intersection due to instability in Claude 3.5.

// Combining different operators finalScore = (baseScore + bonusPoints) * difficultyMultiplier isWinner = (finalScore > highScore) && !isDisqualified

// Assignment with operation counter = 0 counter += 1 // Increment total -= discount // Decrement price *= taxRate // Multiply and assign share /= numberOfPeople // Divide and assign

// Function nesting fn foo() { counter = 0 counter += 1 // Increment total -= discount // Decrement price *= taxRate // Multiply and assign share /= numberOfPeople // Divide and assign }

// Comparison Operators isEqual = a == b isNotEqual = x != y isGreater = score > threshold isLessOrEqual = quantity <= maxLimit

// Ternary if/else access = if (age >= 18 && isMember) "granted" else "denied"

// Pipe operator for function composition processedData = rawData |> normalize |> filter |> sort

Disallowed Keywords

Should generate a warning for disallowed keywords.

class Foo extends Bar { constructor() { super() } }
