	err := e.Define("println", fmt.Println)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Define error: %v\n", err)
	}

	script := `
println("Hello World :)")
`

Anko Script Quick Start

// declare variables
x = 1
y = x + 1

// print using outside the script defined println function
println(x + y) // 3

// if else statement
if x < 1 || y < 1 {
	println(x)
} else if x < 1 && y < 1 {
	println(y)
} else {
	println(x + y)
}

// slice
a = []interface{1, 2, 3}
println(a) // [1 2 3]
println(a[0]) // 1

// map
a = map[interface]interface{"x": 1}
println(a) // map[x:1]
a.b = 2
a["c"] = 3
println(a["b"]) // 2
println(a.c) // 3

// struct
a = make(struct {
	A int64,
	B float64
})
a.A = 4
a.B = 5.5
println(a.A) // 4
println(a.B) // 5.5

// function
func a (x) {
	println(x + 1)
}
a(5) // 6

// defer runs a function call when the surrounding function returns,
// in last-in first-out order
func b () {
	defer println("world")
	defer println("hello")
	println("start")
}
b() // start, hello, world
