ATS WHEEEEEEEEEEE

ATS looks cool.

So... to link things that use math functions, you use -lm.

To compile http://www.ats-lang.org/TUTORIAL/contents/basics.dats, you should do the same because it uses sqrt math function.

atscc basics.dats -lm

And I am writing ats.vim

" Vim syntax file
" Language:   ats

if version < 600
  syntax clear
elseif exists("b:current_syntax")
  finish
endif

:runtime! syntax/c.vim
:unlet b:current_syntax

Things to look at:

Speaking of concatenative language, I was trying to do something like this: http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/xyjs/xylistener.html, which is from this post. Lol I just copied it over and tried to do something... http://wekeywiki.googlepages.com/ascl-listener.html. But I gave up on it.. Anyways, it's another TODO thing :(
