ATENTION: This project is a work in progress

This is my first attempt on language design. My initial goals are:

• Be pretty straightforward and simple:
  • If the same concept/syntax could be used in other parts of the language, great!
  • It will be interpreted, because this should keep things simpler.
• Be functional:
  • I wanna see how far I can go with functions and hashes.
  • It has to have good function support (anonymous, composition, pipe operator).
  • It has to be immutable.
• I don't know about types yet:
  • I'll keep them out just for simplicity.
  • I'm not decided on how to handle null values.
• Be beautiful:
  • I'm a Rubyist, afterall. So, beautiful code matters.
  • I want to keep the language consistent, yet.
• Don't take it too serious:
  • This is my first language, so I want it to be fun (and learn from experience).
  • Speed will be nice (since it's implemented in Crystal), but it's not priority.

Installation

Usage

let fib = fn { |n|
  if (n < 2) { return n; }

  return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}

let n = gets();

puts("The # {n} fibonacci number is {fib(n)}")
