# Cish

## About

A minimal, performant, strongly-typed, and multi-paradigmn programming language focused on being practical and pragmatic, yet powerful enough to create readable, performant and concise code for any problem. 

## Features

* Super Performant

  * Cish can be both interpreted and compiled.

* A strong, impeccable type system.

  * Cish has actual strong typing, unlike c. Casts are made explicitly and it's not possible to have a binary operator have two different types for its operands.

    * Type safe, runtime type-casting is supported when necessary.

  * Powerful and expressive type arguments, not only for structs but for functions as well. 

    * Type arguments aren't constrained to be reference/allocation types like Java - they can also be primitives.

    * Type parameters also support type requirements, somewhat like interfaces.

  * Supports sum-types

    * Clean error handling, unlike go. Requires succesful results to be unwrapped, providing a concise layer of error handling.

* Support for first class functions.

  * First class functions are inbuilt in the syntax and overall design as well - there isn't a million ways you can define a function. 

* Structured programming, with some OOP features like inheritance. 

  * The linking process is done automatically - there's no need for C-like forward declarations.

  * While casting is done automatically from derived types to their super type, downcasting is not allowed. 

* Interoperability with other C and **C#**.

  * See [this related project](https://github.com/TheRealMichaelWang/superforthcsharp) for details.
