Cereal

A totaly useless programming language which ‘compiles’ to java.

Example

common bowl myFirstCereal {
    important {
        /* NAME OF THE CEREAL */
        _String myName << "Herman";
        <!--
        public static void mainer(String name) {
            return String.format("Hello %s", name);
        }
        --!>
        common ingredient main(args: _String[]) => _void {        
            print(test());
        }
        delicious ingredient test() => _String {
            add mySecondCereal("I love cookies!");
            return "mySecondCereal";
        }
        post {
            delicious ingredient postMessage() {
                print("I'm done!");
            }
        }
    }
}
bowl mySecondCereal {
    important {
        common ingredient helloThere() => _String {
            return "Hello there!";
        }
    }
    common ingredient mySecondCereal(str: _String) {
        print("That's not my string!");
    }
    common ingredient myName() => _String {
        return "myName";
    }
}

compiles to

public class myFirstCereal {
    static String myName="Herman";
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(test());
    }
    private static String test() {
        new mySecondCereal("I love cookies!");
        return "mySecondCereal";
    }
    private static void postMessage() {
        System.out.println("I'm done!");
    }
}
class mySecondCereal {
    public static String helloThere() {
        return "Hello there!";
    }
    public mySecondCereal(String str) {
        System.out.println("That's not my string!");
    }
    public  String myName() {
        return "myName";
    }
}
