Good day everybody. Over the past couple of months, I decided to try my hand at building an <i>esoteric</i> programming language ([wp://esolang]).
<p />
I freely admit that it's probably poorly written, but oh so fun!
<p />
I've written up a draft of how to write in it [http://esolangs.org/wiki/Iris]. There's a lot that needs to be added to make things understandable.
<p />
The sourcecode for a fibonacci number generator is built into the array @A in the script below. Just run the critter and have fun.
<p />
<readmore>
Here is a commented version of the "source code"::
<code>
my @A #list A
= ( #init:
0, #assignment call
0,0,1,5, # R[0] = 5
0, #assign
3,0,1,1, # R[3] = 1
0, #assign
4,0,1,1, # R[4] = 1
2, #Flow call
3000, #iterations --> that's lots of numbers!
4, #number of function calls (those four assignment calls following...)
1000, #skipto effectively ends the program when this is done
0,1,1, #condition statement. returns a '1' which is "true"
0, #assignment
1, 1, 1,1, 2,0, 1, #R[1] = R[0] - 1
0, #assignment
2, 1, 1,2, 2,0, 1, #R[2] = R[0] - 2
0, #assignment
-.1, 1, 2,-1, 2,-2, 0, #R[R[0]] = R[R[2]] + R[R[1]]
0, #assignment
0, 1, 2,0, 1,1, 0, #R[0] = R[0] +1
);
</code>
And, here is the script:

Any ideas? Please give me a yell! I'd love to hear the good and the bad.
<p />
BTW- look at sub rpn. I had to change -0 to 0 on occasion (don't recall the specific conditions). Now, what could that mean?
<p />
Thank you all, & I hope you have fun with this.
