"A minimal Lisp dialect in Python."

Ordinta is a small Lisp dialect written in python!

Albeit in its middle stages, we aim to grow it with passion.

If you’re new to Lisp, check out thisquick intro.

Here are some of the thingsOrdinta currently has to offer!:

• Basic arithmetic:+,-,*,/
• Comparisons:>,<,>=,<=,==,!=
• Advanced math:mod,pow,sqrt,abs(experimental)

• Variables:let to store values
• Lists:list to make lists,append to add elements
• List operations:len,reverse,index to manage elements

• String creation with quotes
• String operations:concat,strlen,substr(currently buggy)

• Conditionals:if statements
• Loops:while loops
• Logic:& (and),| (or),true,false

• Print to console:print
• Read input:scan

• Define function:fn
• Set passed in arguments:argone|argtwo|argthree
• Call functions:call: call a user defined function

We’re aiming for:

1. Feature progression — rapid growth and iteration
2. Good documentation — clear, complete, and beginner-friendly
3. Open contributions — an inviting community for all contributors
4. Clean code — readable and structured
