Terminal-Based #

The print (to STDOUT or the terminal) operator is VISIBLE. It has infinite arity and implicitly concatenates all of its arguments after casting them to YARNs. It is terminated by the statement delimiter (line end or comma). The output is automatically terminated with a carriage return (:)), unless the final token is terminated with an exclamation point (!), in which case the carriage return is suppressed.

VISIBLE <expression> [<expression> ...][!]

There is currently no defined standard for printing to a file.

To accept input from the user, the keyword is

GIMMEH <variable>

which takes YARN for input and stores the value in the given variable.

GIMMEH is defined minimally here as a holdover from 1.0 and because there has not been any detailed discussion of this feature. We count on the liberal casting capabilities of the language and programmer inventiveness to handle input restriction. GIMMEH may change in a future version.
