Info: Chimerix syntax is inspired by Lisp-like structures but with a modern twist. Everything is an expression. Parentheses () define scope and data, just like in the grammar definition.

Core Grammar

The language relies on a powerful concept: Paths and Groups. Unlike C-style languages with statements, Chimerix flows through transformations. 

          ; Defining a list of constants
          Config = [
          "localhost"
          8080
          true
          ]

Comments start with a semicolon ;. This keeps the hash # free for other operators or macros if needed in the future.

Uniquely, Chimerix uses special string literals called "Paragraphs" and "Cat Strings". Why? Because documentation matters. 

          doc = ,,,
          header This is a raw doc
          It can contain multi-line text
          without escaping quotes.
          ,,,

Operators

|> (Pipe Right) <| (Pipe Left) :: (Cons) .. (Range) >= (Compare) : (Apply) . (Access)

Example: HTTP Router

        ; A mock implementation of a router
        Router = (
        get = (path, handler) ->
        register:"GET":path:handler
        )

        App = Router.(
        route = get:"/home":(res -> res:send:"Hello")
        )
