Introduction

Welcome to NullScript - JavaScript with Attitude! 🎭

NullScript is a fun parody programming language that adds personality to your JavaScript development. It transpiles directly to clean, readable JavaScript while giving you creative keyword alternatives that make coding more enjoyable.

What is NullScript?

NullScript is:

• A transpiler that converts .ns files to JavaScript
• 100% JavaScript compatible - same runtime behavior
• Zero overhead - no runtime dependencies or performance cost
• Fun to use - creative keywords that spark joy in programming

Philosophy

We believe programming should be both productive and enjoyable. NullScript maintains all the power and compatibility of JavaScript while adding a layer of personality that makes development more fun.

Key Principles

1. JavaScript First - Everything compiles to clean, standard JavaScript
2. Zero Runtime Cost - No additional dependencies or performance overhead
3. Full Compatibility - Works with all JavaScript tools, libraries, and environments
4. Developer Joy - Programming should spark creativity and fun

How It Works

NullScript uses a simple transpilation process:

1. Write your code in .ns files using NullScript syntax
2. Compile using the nsc CLI tool
3. Run the generated JavaScript in any environment

hello.ns → Transpiler → hello.js → Any JS Runtime

The output is always clean, readable JavaScript that you could have written by hand.

What's Different?

Instead of writing:

function greet(name) {
  console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
}

You write:

run greet(name) {
  speak.say(`Hello, ${name}!`);
}

Both compile to the same JavaScript output, but NullScript adds personality to your development experience.
