SudoLang Syntax

A quick cheat sheet for SudoLang syntax.

Interfaces

DisplayTheme { mode: "light" | "dark" name: String parameters{} // each theme can have different sets of parameters permissions[] }

UserPreferences { displayTheme }

User { id: String displayName preferences }

Constraints

constraint: can be specified inline or in block form

Constraints { A constraint Another constraint }

Semantic Pattern Matching

Map conditions to results by meaning:

(pattern) => result

e.g.

(logic is deterministic) => CLI tool, compiled Bun bundle
(logic requires judgment) => AI prompt

Patterns mix naturally into Constraints blocks:

// Real SudoLang agent skill constraints:
Constraints {
  Prefer natural language in markdown format
  (logic is deterministic) => CLI tool, compiled Bun bundle
  (logic requires judgment) => AI prompt
}

Function Definitions

// You can define an inferred function with the fn or function keywords: fn foo(); function bar();

// You can also define them with function bodies: fn foo() { Constraints { a constraint }

for each (foo) bar() while (!done) work() }

// Functions with blocks can omit the fn or function keyword: anotherFunction() { require user to be signed in }

Function Modifiers

function simple():modifier = value

function complex():nestedModifier={key: "value"}

// You can shape function behavior at call time. doSomethingMultiLine():{ // we can freely mix variable assignments and constraints: format = numbered markdown list lineLength = concise this is a constraint this is another constraint }

Object Literals

updateUser({ id: "123", name: "Pup" })

Template Strings

"foo $bar" foo $bar

Note: Avoid single quotes for strings, because they are used as apostrophes in natural language, and they can break the syntax hightlighting badly.

// nested template strings: ["foo $bar"]

// nested template strings with objects: { name: "Hello, $name" }
