I love this, but it doesn't look like server-side language is Turing complete. It can only read, write, and delete rows; branches on admin; and returns a random number. Is it possible to extend the language in a way defining functions, if stmt and for loops are possible?

Since it already has if, I wonder if I can branch on things other than "admin".

EDIT: I stand corrected, looks like using `range .. end` you can actually loop.

EDIT2: if also works:

    {{ if (rando 0 1) }}
     a
    {{ else }}
     b
    {{ end }}
prints a or b non deterministically.

EDIT3: I wish it supported operations like equality, addition, <, > etc




It supports eq (==), ne (!=), gt (>), ge (>=), lt (<), le (<=).


Awesome! I wish all functions were documented. Is this a programming language that I can google by name? I intentionally created some errors and googled the error messages but didn't find anything. Is this a homebaked PL?
