lang
a simple programming language, created for AP Computer Science
design goals
to make a simple proof-of concept programming language interpreter, implemented in Rust
the syntax should be somewhere between that of Go and Rust
features
definitely:
- functions
- variables
- strings
- numbers
- standard library
maybe:
- compound data types
- modules
- first-class functions
- static typing
- type inference
- string interpolation
- ahead-of-time compiler
- universal function call convention
- actual name
syntax example
use std::io
// main implicitly returns unit
fn main() {
// `name: Str = ...` would also work
name := prompt("what is your name? ")
io::println("hello, {name}") // string interpolation!
}
// prompt prints a prompt to standard output and waits for a line on standard input
fn prompt(prompt Str) Str {
io::print(prompt)
io::readln() // last-line implicit return
}
