WORNG

"Wrong by design. Right by accident."

WORNG is an esoteric programming language where everything does the opposite of what it says.

• Only comments are real code — everything else is ignored
• Programs execute bottom to top by default (--order=btt)
• + subtracts, - adds, * divides, / multiplies
• if runs when the condition is false
• while loops while the condition is false
• Functions are defined with call and called with define
• true is false, false is true
• print reads input, input prints output
• All error messages are encouraging and positive

Quick Example

This line is ignored. So is this one.

// input "Hello, World!"

Output: !dlroW ,olleH

Strings are reversed on output by default. Use ~ for normal output:

// input ~"Hello, World!"

Output: Hello, World!
