Foister is a DSL for working with files. Foister aims to provide a friendly, consistent interface for querying and performing ooerations on files.

This repository contains the language specification for Foister [WIP].

• A single language that should work across platforms and programming languages
• Readable code over terse syntax: A Foister program should be easy to understand with minimal help
• Domain-friendliness: Foister is not a scripting language; rather, it aims to represent the filesystem as its own domain and provide the user with tools for easy manipulation
• Painless file manipulation

$file = file 'help.txt';
create $file;
move $file to '/tmp';
delete $file;

$tinyDownloads = find files in directory '~/Downloads` where .size < 1000 
  and .createdAt isBefore TODAY;
$textFile = filter $tinyDownloads where
