Literals
There are several ways to express the 4 components of a statement. One of them is by specifying an entity directly. Such a direct specification is called a literal. The various kinds of references therefore aren’t literals.
An entity in Smaoin can be either a resource of a value. Resources are represented by their Uids, and values have representations specific to their types. The 5 primitive types are Number
, Boolean
, Data
, Character
and String
. Therefore there are 6 “kinds” of literals in Idan. Each one has a syntax rule for specifying entities of it, and there’s also a generic form that can be used with any type.
