Bearing Language Spec

This is super unfinished and as-of-yet unimplemented.

Examples

use std_io;

fn main() {
    fwrite(stdout, "Hello, world!");
}

fn fib_recur(n: i32) -> i32 {
    if n <= 1 {
        return 1;
    } else {
        return fib_recursive(n - 1) + fib_recursive(n - 2);
    }
}

fn fib_iter(n: i32) -> i32 {
    var accum: i32 = 0;
    var last: i32 = 0;

    var i: usize = 0;
    while i < n {
        var tmp = accum;
        accum = last;
        last = tmp + last;
    }

    return accum;
}

fn main() {
    use std_io;
    use std_str;

    let args: [u8;32;2] = 0;

    strlen_i32(fib_recur(5), &args[0]);
    strlen_i32(fib_iter(5), &args[1]);
}
