Lax has S-syntax and Lisp-like code. It can help you learn programming and write programs on Linux, even a simple calculator or shell, and much more. Lax also has over 145 commands that you can use to do anything.
Here's an example of Hello World:
[start
[image "Hello World!"]
[nl]
]
start - Creates a command chain
image - Prints text
nl - Creates a line break
You can also use just an image using \n:
[image "Hello World!\n"]
Here's how to work with input:
[start
[spot name [input "Enter your name: "]]
[image "Hello, "] [image name] [image "!"] [nl]]
spot - Creates a variable
input - The simple input command will print Lax> and wait for the user to enter input. If it's quoted like "image," it will be the text inside the quotes.
Here we go. We create a variable 'name' where we assign it the value of the user's input, and then use image to display what the user entered. This is basic work with input and output, as well as variables.
And here's also a simple calculator that calculates roots, powers, and other mathematical equations:
please provide links to documentation - programming languages are for humans to be able to translate their thoughts to instructions for the computer to follow, so a human should be able to write code in it

could you provide more info about the language? Use cases, what makes it different from others? Syntax examples and documentation?
