SAPLING (programming language) program archive

Hello everyone!
I am the creator of SAPLING (Scratch Application Programming Language (It's Not Great)) ('It' in this case refers to the acronym, the language works pretty well!))
Here is a happy little discussion thread in which you can put your programs, or check out other people's programs!

Project link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/884272995/

A short note on SAPLING
The SAPLING interpreter has more or less all of the features Scratch does, as well as

multi-dimensional lists
objects (which can go in sajd lists)
fuctions with return statements
various other variable things (incrementation, decrementation)
A fully functioning command-prompt-esque thing!

SAPLING is mainly used to manipulate data, however, with SpriteControl (https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/884275352/), you can also make other sprites do as you wish, giving SAPLING interoperability with clones and so forth!
Try it out today!

To kick things off, here's a basic hello world program!

myprogram.sapi:⮑@console⮑println("hello, world!")

Hello!
I have made a little math library of sorts!

math.sapi:⮑@library⮑function logb(base,number)⮑return(ln([number])/ln([base]))⮑endflogb⮑⮑function rad(deg)⮑return([deg]/180*pi())⮑endfrad⮑⮑function deg(rad)⮑return([rad]/pi()*180)⮑endfdeg⮑⮑function inc(num)⮑return([num]+1)⮑endfinc⮑⮑function dec(num)⮑return([num]+1)⮑endfdec⮑⮑function sgn(num)⮑println([num])⮑if([num]>0)⮑return(1)⮑endif⮑if([num]<0)⮑return(-1)⮑endif⮑if([num]=0)⮑return(0)⮑endif⮑endfsgn⮑⮑function trunc(num,dpts)⮑var p⮑p =posof(".",[num])⮑return(concat(substring([num],1,[p]),substring([num],[p]+1,[p]+[dpts])))⮑endftrunc

Just to add some functions I didn't feel like adding to the main interpreter necessarily, and weren't too hard to implement in SAPLING (about the same complexity as in scratch), so here ya go!

Have you ever really needed to know the factorial of a number, but all you had to figure it out was a web browser on a computer with internet access, and you were completely stumped as to where to go next? Look no further than this SAPLING program!

factorial.sapi:⮑@console⮑input("number to facorializeificate: ")⮑println(concat(response()," factorialed: ",factorial(response())))⮑⮑function factorial(number)⮑var result⮑result = [number]⮑for([number]-1)⮑result *= [number]-iteration()⮑end⮑return([result])⮑endffactorial
