This is the meat language. Meat is object-oriented. Everything in meat is an object. Every meat object has an oracle, which is receives all messages sent to the owning object. A meat program must not include the identifier vegetable, or it will not parse. There is exactly one way to format a meat program; whitespace is syntax, so are parenthesis. Meat allows object-level meta-programming.

I wanted an object-oriented language that does not impose a heavy paradigm like classes or prototypes. I wanted a language that is minimal, but allows me instrument its own execution: You can change the lookup of variables and intercept messages. Its syntax and the messaging concept is heavily inspired by Smalltalk.

Computing the 20th fibonacci number looks like this:

"
	This is a fibonacci program.
"
f := [ i
	(i <= 1) ifTrue: [
		1
	] ifFalse: [
		(f evaluate: (i - 2)) + (f evaluate: (i - 1))
	]
]
f evaluate: 20

Probably not. Yet.

It transpiles to node.

Hell no, it's about 5500x slower than pure node computing the 20th fibonacci number recursively.
