Basic Syntax

AbySS leans into symbolic, magic-inspired keywords without sacrificing readability. Comments follow familiar patterns, so you can annotate spells freely while keeping the parser happy.

// This is a single-line comment
/*
This is a multi-line comment
*/
  • Keywords such as forge, oracle, and orbit are intentionally thematic but remain deterministic.
  • Statements end with semicolons; code blocks use { ... } like other C-family syntaxes.
  • Multi-line constructs favor indentation plus single keywords per line for quick scanning.
