This Site is intended to provide helps to Var'aq language programmers around the world through technical examples, informational articles, and personal assistance.

The following examples are meant to be a quick Getting Started sort of tutorial using the varaq-kling.pl version in Perl.

Example 1. Hello, World!
It is customary to look at the Hello, World! program when first learning a new language.

Basic:
PRINT "Hello, World!"
FORTH:
." Hello, World!"
Var'aq:
"Hello, World!" cha'

Each of these programs will print the words "Hello, World!" on the standard output device.

Basic:
PRINT "Hello,"
PRINT "World!"
Prints "Hello," on one line, and "World!" on the *next* line.
FORTH:
." Hello," CR ." World!" CR
Prints "Hello," on one line, and "World!" on the *next* line.
Var'aq:
"Hello," cha' chu'DonwI' "World!" cha' chu'DonwI'
Prints "Hello," on one line, and "World!" on the *next* line.

Alternately, in the Perl interpreted version of Var'aq, we can get away with a syntax like "Hello,\nWorld!\n" cha' to print the data on separate lines as well.
