"The first time I saw EricScript the beauty brought me to tears" - Donald Knuth
It's great! My only gripe is the use of alphanumeric characters.
Line numbers increasing by prime powers of two, but the file is executed in reverse... brilliant.
You left out <==> (less than, equal to, or greater than operator).
Can you add support for UTF8 characters? I really need to write my code in Mongolian
Or how about function call-me's, as opposed to function calls? functionName<-() results in functionName calling the function that encloses the call-me.
