Gotochan for C#

Do you hate:

• Functions?
• Reading?
• Object oriented objects?

Look no further – Gotochan is everyone's least favorite programming language!

Designed in 2023 and perfected in 2025.

Getting Started

Let's make a basic hello world program!

what = ~hello~world!
goto say

Gotochan does not use type annotations, curly braces, capital letters, or anything else that just gets in the way.

Gotochan is simple and elegant, so everything is accomplished with goto, label and if.

Now let's make a rocket launch!

counter = 10
what = ~countdown:~
what += counter
what += ~\n
goto say
counteriszero = counter == 0
seconds = 0.5
goto wait
counter -= 1
goto +2 if counteriszero
goto -9
what = ~blast~off!
goto say

It's pretty, easy and neat! You just use goto for everything.

But can you goto a goto?

Yes!

goto dosomething

label dosomething
goto goto dosomething

Goto goto goes to the last goto label for a label you've gone to. So you can goto the line after the line you goto'd the label you wanted to go to.

What if you have a lot of goto?

That's okay. Become friends with goto.

Thingies

The experts educated us that there are only four types of thing in existence:

• nothing: the absence of all things
• flag: something that's either there or not there
• number: a tally chart on a petition to ban water
• string: stuff that you can say or scream

These are the thingies that make up Gotochan.

Comments

We have no idea what a "comment" is but we saw some other languages using it so we added it.

Interpreting

You can interpret Gotochan code with 3 simple steps:

// Read source code
string Source = File.ReadAllText("gotogotchi.gotochan");

// Parse as instructions
ParseResult ParseResult = Parser.Parse(Source).Value;

// Interpret instructions
Actor.Shared.Interpret(ParseResult);

All code runs in an actor which has a lock, variables and gotos!

Compiling

You can compile Gotochan code to C# code for super performance!

Parse it as normal and then compile it:

// Compile as C# code
CompileResult CompileResult = Compiler.Compile(ParseResult).Value;

Then create a file in your C# project and paste the resulting code!
