pretty-please is a groundbreaking interpreted programming language!
- 🔮 The future of programming
- 🚀 Written in Python
- 😎 Easy to learn
- 🙂 Sentient
You can show the help menu with
python3 pretty-please.py help
Create your first program by creating a file, i.e. myprogram.prettyplease. You can run it with:
python3 pretty-please.py myprogram.prettyplease
pretty-please is super easy to learn! Everything you need to know is in this README!
Instructions follow this structure:
opcode arg1 arg2 ... !
opcodedefines the instructionargsare used by the interpret!ends the instruction
Comments start with a slash and end with an exclamation mark, just like every instruction. (Technically, / is the opcode here)
/ this is a comment !
dosomething! / this is a comment !
Comments can help you make code clearer, but beware: the interpret can read them. If your comments are rude, you'll make it grumpier. The opposite applies as well.
Writing a hello world program is stupidly simple!
helloworld!
There you go!
Make sure the compiler is happy. Otherwise it might say goobye world instead...
They say you only become a real programmer once you write your first segmentation fault. With pretty-please, this is also a one-liner!
segfault!
test: An instruction that does nothing relevant. Prints a small response in the terminal.

Just use repl! to start a REPL.
Define public variables using define us a variable <name> = <integer value>
and private variables through define me a variable <name> = <integer value>.
Public variables can be accessed when a module from ./lib/ is import!ed,
private variables can only be accessed from the file (or a file included using run!).
If something bad happens, you'll make the interpret sadder. Be careful.
If the interpret's mad at you there's a chance it will refuse to follow orders.
Look at startup.prettyplease for more examples of opcodes.
A vscode extension is available! It will later be added to the marketplace, but for now check it out right here in the repo.
