Ink by Example

Ink by Example: IO

Ink has access to standard input (stdin) and standard output (stdout). You can pipe input to an Ink program in the form `echo "Hello, World!" \| ink program.ink`.
	std := load('../vendor/std') scan := std.scan log := std.log f := std.format
To send data to standard output we can use the builtin `out`, which accepts a string, or the helper `std.log` which accepts strings and non-strings and adds a linebreak.	out('Hello, with a manual linebreak. ') log(7) `` print a number log([1, 2]) `` a composite log(() => ()) `` a function log(()) `` or null
For reading in data from standard input, there is the builtin `in` as well as the helper `std.scan` which reads in a line.	prompt := (msg, cb) => ( log(msg) scan(cb) ) ` usage: prompt('Are you sure?', msg => ( log(msg) ))`
`std.format` allows us to build template strings and pass in a map of values.	log(f('A message without any passed in values.', {})) log(f('The time is: {{ time }}.', {time: time()}))

$ ink io.ink
Hello, with a manual linebreak.
7
{0: 1, 1: 2}
(function)
()
A message without any passed in values.
The time is: 1626466495.20629954.
