begin
  writeLn( 2 ** 2 );
end.

Is there any reason this doesn't work?

begin
writeLn( pow(2, 2) );
end.

That is it.. no power operator. Also, in the most recent Simba, ** as power operator is broken.

Example:

begin
  writeln((2 ** 2)); //Exception in Script: Operator "Power" not compatible with types at line 2, column 14
end.

Needs 3 characters.

The power-operator at time of your post was not implemented, it was only supported by lapes parser, but was lacking processing-functions.
- It's added in the Lape-version Simba 1.1 uses
