YASS is a flexible language that supports custom keywords. For instance:

YASS

test x

test has been recognised as a keyword by the compiler in the example above. The compiler knows this is a keyword because a plugin exists that specifies this keyword. The plugin has the following Java code:

Java

import jamiebalfour.zpe.core.AST;
import jamiebalfour.zpe.core.ZenithEngine;
public class ZenithCustomModule implements jamiebalfour.zpe.core.ZenithCustomModule {

  @Override
  public String GetName() {
      return "test";
  }
  @Override
  public AST CompileToAST(ZenithEngine z) {

      AST node = new AST();
      z.ExternalMethods.EatSymbol();
      node.value = z.ExternalMethods.GetCurrentCompilerWord();

      return node;
  }
  @Override
  public void Traverse(ZenithEngine z, AST node) {

      System.out.println(node.value);

  }
}
