Bauble has a c-style syntax. It closely resembles JS. You may even notice no difference on the first sight. However, Bauble is more fun. Well, at least it has fun as a keyword.

Bauble supports a few data types.Nil Boolean Number String Array Function javascript nil // nil literal true, false // Boolean literals 42, 3.14 // Number literals "Hello, World" // String literal. Enclosed in double quotes [0; 10] // Array of numbers size 10 with initial value 0 ["a", 5] // Array of strings with initial value "a" fun (x, y) { return x + y } // Function declaration

Bauble supports global and local variables. Local variables has lexical scoping.Variable declarations starts with let keyword. javascript let global_greet = "Hello, world"; // Global variable { let local_greet = "Hello, block"; // Local variable. Won't be available after block ends let uninitialized; // When variable gets no immediate value, it is initialized to nil uninitialized = 42; // Initialize declared variable later } unknown = 10; // Error. You can't use variables that weren't declared

Bauble supports if-else statements. javacript let temperature = 21.5; if (temperature > 25) { print "It's too hot"; } else if (temperature > 19) { print "It's perfect"; } else { print "It's cold"; }

Bauble currently supports only while loops. javascript let i = 0; let sum = 0; while (i < 10) { // As in if statement we have condition in parentheses sum = sum + i; i = i + 1; } print sum;

The size of an array in Bauble is fixed and can't be changed after array is created. Also, you must specify the initial value of array when creating it. javascript let numbers = [0; 16]; // Array of zeroes of size 16 numbers[0] = 1; // Set 1 to first element of the array print numbers[8]; // Access 9-th element of the array let err = numbers[16]; // Accessing array beyond size results in runtime error Virtual machine controls size of the array.You can also use strings as arrays. You can read characters in a position. However, you can't change the string. javascript let greeting = "Hello"; print greeting[0]; // Prints "H" greeting[0] = "J"; // You can't do that

Functions are fun. javascript fun fibonacci(n) { // Starts with `fun` keyword. Accepts list of parameters if (n >= 2) { return 1; // Early return supported } return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2); // Recursion supported } If function does not return value explicitly, it will return nil
