NAIDE-X (.nx) Syntax

NAIDE-X is an ultra-compact syntax optimized for AI token efficiency. Files use the .nx extension and compile through a preprocessor into standard NAIDE before transpilation.

Variables

NAIDE	NX
str name = "World"	s:name="World"
int count = 42	i:count=42
num price = 9.99	n:price=9.99
bool active = true	b:active=true
any data = null	a:data=null
list items = []	l:items=[]
map config = {}	m:config={}

Functions

NAIDE	NX
fn greet(name):	f greet(name)
fn.async fetch():	~f fetch()
ret value	>value
pub fn add(a, b):	+f add(a,b)

Return Type Annotations

f greet(s:who)s     # fn greet(who) -> str
  >"Hello, {who}!"

~f load(s:url)a    # async fn load(url) -> any
  a:res=~fetch(url)
  >~res.json()

Server & Routes

NAIDE	NX
server app port 3000:	$app:3000
get "/":	G"/"
post "/api":	P"/api"
put "/api/:id":	U"/api/:id"
del "/api/:id":	D"/api/:id"
patch "/api/:id":	X"/api/:id"

Response Shorthands

NAIDE	NX
ret.html "..."	>.h "..."
ret.redirect "/new"	>.r "/new"
ret.text "..."	>.t "..."
ret.file "path"	>.f "path"
ret.render "view" {}	>.v "view" {}
ret.download "path"	>.d "path"

Control Flow

NAIDE	NX
if condition:	?condition
elif condition:	??condition
else:	??
each item in list:	@item in list
for i in 0..10:	#i 0..10
while cond:	&cond

Error Handling

!                  # try:
  risky()
!!e                # fail e:
  log e.message
!!!                # ensure:
  cleanup()

Logging

NAIDE	NX
log "msg"	log"msg"
log.warn "msg"	log.w"msg"
log.error "msg"	log.e"msg"
log.info "msg"	log.i"msg"
log.debug "msg"	log.d"msg"

Complete Example

# NX: Todo API in minimal tokens
$app:3000
  G"/"
    >{msg:"Todo API"}
  G"/api/todos"
    l:todos=[{id:1,title:"Learn NAIDE",done:false}]
    >todos
  P"/api/todos"(req,res)
    a:todo=req.body
    >{created:true}

Converting NAIDE to NX

$ naide convert app.naide    # outputs app.nx
