# GoScript
[](LICENSE)
GoScript is a lightweight scripting language implemented in Go. It provides a simple, expressive syntax for common scripting tasks and serves as an excellent platform for learning language design and building domain-specific languages.
## Features
- **Interpreted Scripting:** Write and execute scripts without a separate compilation step.
- **Simple Syntax:** Clean and intuitive syntax for arithmetic, logic, conditionals, loops, functions, and more.
- **Modular Design:** Easily extend or integrate new features thanks to the well-organized code structure.
- **Cross-Platform:** Built in Go, GoScript can run on any platform that supports Go.
## Syntax
**Hello World:**
```
print("Hey World!")
```
**Fibonacci:**
```
fn f(n) {
if n <= 1 { 1 }
n * f(n-1)
}
println(f(5))
```
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- [Go](https://golang.org/dl/) Tested on 1.22.4
### Installation
Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/BaseMax/GoScript.git
cd GoScript
```
Build the project:
```bash
go build -o goscript
or
go build -o goscript.exe
```
Alternatively, you can run it directly with:
```bash
go run goscript.go
```
### Running a Script
After building the executable, you can run a GoScript file by providing its path as an argument:
```bash
./goscript.exe path/to/your/script.gos
```
For example, to run one of the provided examples:
```bash
./goscript.exe examples/hello.gos
```
