Generic Programming Language For Embedding In Many Contexts

GPLFEIMC, A programming language meant for embedding.

Caution

Shouldn't be used currently

A very work in progress programming language.

about

The file goal.gplefimc has what an example file in the programming language once it's finished will be.

Wanted Syntax

Excerpt from goal.gplfeimc

declare Main f:main # declare entrypoint (declare can also be used to export variables and functions)

require lib:Math # import, returns null if it fails
require lib:Random # import, returns null if it fails

demand interface:FileAccess as fa # import, throws an error if it fails

@main(args) do # function declaration
    print(args["1"])
    print(args._.1)
    $r = fa.open("user://test.txt","w") > The user:// directory uses a unique directory for every app
    r = $r # Makes $r a global variable instead of local--- They could've just directly wrote to r, but maybe they have a reason.
    if r.status == 0 then
        print("test")? # prints debug info
        fa.write(r.stream,input())
    end
    match r.status for
        item 0 then print("File Opened Correctly!") end
        item Err.DiskFull then 
            print("Your disk is full!")! # ! is basically a breakpoint. It just logs the current state of the program and waits until [ENTER]/[RETURN] is pressed.
        end
    end
end

Current Syntax

declare Main f:main

@main(args) do
    # add the last two items in the stack: A, B, add
    1 2 add
    # subtract the last two items in the stack: B, A, sub
    1 sub
    # set variable on tape: DATA, LOC, set
    5 set
    # get variable from tape: LOC, get
    5 get
    # multiply last two items in the stack: A, B, mul
    2 mul
    # duplicate last item in the stack: A, copy
    copy
    # print: A, out
    out
    # divide: B, A, div
    2 div
    # floor
    floor
    3 div
    # exponent: B, A, exp
    2 exp
    # ceil
    ceil
    out
end

why

I want an actually good language for embedding, that doesn't involve manipulating the stack just for calling a function with an argument.
