# BBLANG

### Overview

Backbench currently supports BBLANG **v1.0.0**.

As backench is a [FAAS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_as_a_service) with integrated [APIGATEWAY](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_management). BBLANG functions (public ones) can be mapped directly with API endpoints. 

Functions can be of two types - Public, Private. Difference exist here that public are accessible to APIs while other is not.

```javascript
//For public function `foo:bar` accesible to backbench endpoints 
//and other functions
PUBLIC_FUNCTION_NAME:FUNCTION_NAME()->{
    //do things here
}

//For private function `bar`, accesible to other functions only
FUNCTION_NAME()->{
    //do things here
}
```

Standard libaries shipped with BBLANG <https://bblang.org/stdlib.html>.
