Named Variables & Constants for FANUC TP (with Fexcel)

When I first learned to program FANUC robots, I was bothered by the TP programming language. At the time I was using Ruby primarily, which, according to the official website, “has an elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write.”

I was annoyed that I had to manage my own memory locations for numbers, positions, I/O, etc.

Wouldn’t it be nice if I could program FANUC robots with Ruby? …or at least something Ruby-esque?
