cr8script

cr8script is an English-shaped scripting language designed for large language models (LLMs) and users seeking to write quick, reliable scripts without the common pitfalls found in Python. It emphasizes a minimal and deterministic surface area, aiming to reduce errors and ambiguities, especially in contexts like finance, billing, and reporting where decimal accuracy is critical. The language is structured to be easily written and understood by both humans and agents, with a focus on strong type safety and explicit error reporting.

The language operates as a single file with no build process or imports, and can be installed with a single command using pip. Its syntax is intentionally simple, using constructs like 'let' for immutable variables, 'var' for mutable ones, and blocks that always end with 'end'. Pipelines on lists of records are designed to read like SQL, supporting operations such as 'group by', 'summarize', 'sort by', and 'map'. Built-in functions cover math, HTTP requests, time operations, JSON and CSV parsing, and common aggregation functions like sum and average. 3, addressing issues with floating-point arithmetic in other languages.

cr8script enforces strict typing: it refuses truthy or falsy evaluations, silent type coercion, and will not allow operations like adding a string and a number without explicit conversion. Error messages are detailed, including the line, value, and a suggested fix. For LLM integration, the static checker can emit structured diagnostics as JSON, enabling models to self-correct before execution. The language provides resources such as a condensed grammar, operational playbooks, and planning graphs to facilitate integration with agent loops and automated systems.
