Claro v1.06.26 Notes

RC6 keeps Claro focused on the original goal: a plain-text scripting language simple enough for learners with learning disabilities, while still growing into a useful tool for real scripts.

Main theme

Simple learner scripting.

RC6 avoids big systems such as SDL, classes, networking, threads, or packages. Those belong later. This release strengthens the small scripting core first.

Beginner syntax kept simple

Claro now accepts:

SET name "Jon"
SET name TO "Jon"
SET name to "Jon"
ASK "What is your name?" name
END

The older forms still work:

ASK "What is your name?" AS name
ENDIF
DONE
LEARNED
ENDTRY

Practical scripting additions

RC6 adds command-line arguments, environment lookup, folder/file helpers, command output capture, random numbers, text helpers, and list helpers.

These are meant to make Claro useful for small real scripts while staying readable.
