Syntax

Pit is a curly-brace language; that is, it uses semicolons between statements and curly-braces to group statements.

Runes:

• Symbols (functions and variables) are prefixed with $
• User-defined types are prefixed with @
• Code labels are prefixed with #

Braces {} group statements and literal values for complex variables.

Brackets [] surround type-expressions, for example around typecasts.

Parens () group math expressions, parameters for functions, and indexes for strings, structs, arrays, and hashes.

Postfix <- means reference, and -> means dereference.
